Last year in STL we had a huge ice storm that was absolutely gorgeous!! Yet we didn't enjoy it one iota because it took our power and we were homeless for 4 days. Not that we didn't enjoy staying at our friends house - all five of us in their two bedroom home with their family of four (actually it was fun), but it would have been much more enjoyable from our own heated home where we could snuggle in our pj's. This year we have that. For the past two weeks we have been getting small amounts of snow (never more then maybe an inch tops - this we wish we had more of) and lots of icy rain. The slippery stuff isn't so much fun to worry about because we live on the windy roads, but it sure is pretty. There is certainly a feeling for the holiday season that comes along with it. The only down side so far is that we don't get a bus ride to school sometimes. We haven't had an ice storm like last year - this has been more a slow accumulation of ice, but it is absolutely gorgeous!!!
