We were braced for the tip of it which passed over us in the night, but 
fortunately did not drop freezing rain as expected. The sun is out this 
morning, it supposed to warm up in the 60's again. That was one gigantic 
storm stretching from us to the east coast. I'm sure some of you did not 
fare as well by the looks of it. Hope everyone is OK. Sending warmth!
