Ice Storm 2011

Hello Beloved,

Well here it is February 2,2011, Groundhog Day.. From what I have been told, " Ole Phil" did
not see his shadow... I think it might have been because for the last few days the whole country
has been under a very major storm system. Covering over 35 states and 2100 miles.. Now
that is pretty major. Snow, ice, wind, freezing rain, tornado's , lightening, thunder and very
poor conditions on the roads, airlines cancelled. School closings, business closed, people keep
home except for emergency personal.. Reminds some of us of the Blizzard of 1978.
Some of the more serious downfalls from this storm are the people who live in rural parts of the county, or the elderly who have no one to call upon to help them out and they try to do for themselves and then they fall and break something. People trying to get to the hospital to have
their baby or see a loved one who was hurt in an accident... So many different things to go
wrong in this kind of storm, power out , no heat, no lights, water freezes, ect....
It has been a dangerous storm and here in the mid-west not as bad as in the North or to our East... And through it all we still have to Praise God and thank Him for all of His blessings..
As I get older I find it easier and easier to say thank you for all I have been through or am going
through.... I need to remember to thank God for the new storms that are brewing and coming our way soon..... I am praying that you will be warm and safe and leave you now so you can go and Praise God for your blessings. This will be a winter that all will remember for years to come..
Remember to Smile: It is a free gift from God for you to share with others.... Tenderly with
arms wrapped about you.... Your sister in Christ Jesus...... vickie
