Always good to hear how things actually are from the frontlines - our news media thrives on twisting everything.

I too enjoy a really good snow storm though! So happy to hear that Kate made it through alright. I'd love to hear more about her museum some day too.

I lived thru a typhoon on the island of Guam when my husband was stationed there in the Air Force.
