Missouri has definitely been a change of scenery for us, among other things. The weather is one of the strangest we've seen. One day there is snow on the ground and the next you're wearing shorts in 75 degree weather. Our winter has actually been rather mellow except for a few random storms. Out here we get a lot of warnings for flash floods, tornadoes, and ice storms. If you've never heard of an ice storm, let me try to explain. Instead of snow or rain falling from the sky, you get ice. Everything becomes frozen and it is incredibly and painfully cold outside. People have to stop their cars every so often while driving, just to scrape the new ice off their windshields to see out them because the wipers can't move. (And I thought snowstorms were bad!) To help you visualize it better, I included some snapshots.

hey...looks very familiar. I am glad that you now understand the midwest ice storms. lol. Hope you are having fun.
hmm that stinks! especially since I never scrape the ice off my windshield to begin with... yeah I would probably have a problem driving there..If the ice kept coming back.. hmm
Yeah, that is what I kinda don't miss about living in North Carolina. I never tried to drive in it. But they are so few and far between you really can't complain, whereas in Utah, we seem to be hit every day with snow!!
Nice swim cap. John do you still own a swim cap?

We had one of those last year, very interesting to see all the trees covered in ice. We kept having large tree limbs falling all week with the huge trees all over here, so power was out for a while. Very nice...
