The Ice Man Cometh...

We went to visit Alex last weekend and had a wonderful visit. He is suppose to be heading off to England soon but has yet received his orders. It is hard on him because he is like in limbo. He needs to get rid (sell) his car and there is a lot of "STUFF" in his apartment that needs to be dealt with. He is suppose to report to Mendanhall AFB on Feb. 28th yet he does not have his orders. Needless to say this is driving him crazy.

While there the news was talking about a Ice Storm coming and it was going to hit Monday in the AM. We were either going to stay until Wednesday or leave early Monday. We decided to leave early Monday at 5:45am and we were ahead of the storm by about 2 hours. Going through Conway Arkansas we hit some Ice and all of us on the highway slowed down and drove very carefully. We had some Ice build up on the corners of the windshield but I had the heater on and not the defroster (Lesson Learned) it was coming down as rain but freezing as soon as it hit.

You can see Tuesday we spent the day INSIDE and it rained and froze for a good portion of the day. We never lost power (Thank You Lord) and did not suffer any ill effects at all. It is raining right now and should turn to snow at any time. The weather man out here is for the most part pretty right in as far as timing of the storms so that's kind of neat... Take Care and write when you can! We miss you all and hope to see some of you this summer.
