Thanks for that fire! I feel better already. I have some heat on, but I am still cold!

Snowed last night and all day here. Shoveled twice, yet not much accumulation. The rest is suppose to come tonight. I just looked we are at 0% right now.

I had two pairs of gloves on and still had to run my hands under warm water when I came in.

Thank you... for caring~
