Learning to Love Winter
It is CCC-OLD here! Woke up to -15 (-27 with wind chill). Heard the roads are still frozen because it is too cold for the salt mix the dept of transportation uses to activate. But no worries--I went online and ordered a pair of insulated snow pants (with suspenders!) to get me through the rest of the year.
Minneapolis has a very effective system for plowing roads during a snow emergency (we had 4 inches of snow and that constitutes a plowing "emergency"--which is better for all of us). They towed 2200 cars yesterday in the Twin Cities when they plowed just one side of the streets. It costs $138 plus a daily fee plus the cost of your ticket to get it out. We watched four or five tow trucks show up at once yesterday morning and haul every car on the opposite side away. Yikes! We're leaving our car up the driveway while we are gone... don't want to risk getting caught in that.
Jeff and I fly out to NY tonight. Eric was going to be here this past weekend but a darned snow storm kept him away--we were all disappointed but better to be safe than sorry. Hopefully he will be able to come for my birthday weekend or the snow/ice festival in January.
Give me a call on my cell or at John and Gloria's if you want! Merry last few days of Christmas anticipation!

Baby Owen
I just felt like a picture of our newest family member needed to be posted - Owen Edmund Fox - born October 18, 2008 at 3:54pm. He weighed 6 lbs. 4 oz. and was 20" long. He is a Libra with a rising sign of Aquarius. And of course, he is sooooooo adorable! Good job, Mindy & Dan!
