Grandkids are Coming

The grandkids and great grandkids are coming with their folks in a little while. We are all going out to eat at our local Pizza Ranch. It will be so much fun to see the newest baby born December 5. We have a pending BIG snow storm headed right at us. I sure hope it doesn't ruin Christmas. Travel is going to be difficult if it snows for the next 3 days. They say we may get some just plain rain and that is even worse as it freezes to the branches of the trees and highlines and can cause branches and trees to fall and lights to go out. We are hoping it will only be snow. That is bad enough because they are talking 6-12 inches of snow along with high winds.

Winter Snow Storms

Well, we are in for it again. I heard it is supposed to start snowing tonight and we should get about 3 inches of new snow by tomorrow. I just looked out the window and it is only 3:15 CST and it is snowing quite hard already. Not only that but they tell us a BIG winter snow storm is headed right at us. It could start on Wednesday and run to or through Saturday. Bah Humbug! That could really mess up Christmas plans for everyone.

Snow Paralyzes Parts of Europe

A bitterly cold winter storm pummeled parts of Europe, killing at least three sailors when a ship sank in rough seas, and piling up snow that stranded thousands at airports, on mountain roads and in remote villages. The authorities in northeastern Bulgaria declared a state of emergency and called in the army to help civil defense officials clear roads and reach stranded motorists. A cold spell also caused problems in neighboring Romania, where Bucharest's two main airports were closed. Parts of Turkey and Greece, as well as Western Europe, were also affected.
