Mj (Fox 13) put the fear of God in me last night, her weather forecast sounded like the arrival of Armagheddon, we snuggled up tight under the comforter and anticipated with foreboding the brutal temperatures that would try us physically mentally and emotionally !!! Physically.....I can't feel my fingers / toes, Mentally, What in the world persuaded us to be farmers  ? and emotionally, WE ARE CRAZY, when did crazy happen ? !!!!  Layers of clothes piled on top of layers of clothes, ( honey, do I look fat in this ???) fashion out the window. I had seem something on street people and wrapping my feet in plastic bags suddenly seemed a great idea ( I think I watch too much tv !!) Hair up in another plastic bag, saves the frizz...I'm sure there has to be some ethnic blood somewhere ! I must have looked a sight but I was ready for whatever MJs' forecast had to throw at us ...and it was bad !!! I think I qualified as a world class gymnast, I guess I did about 6 double summersaults and backflips on the ice, International ice skater as I glided ( very ungracefully...but with attitude) across the ice and Ice sculpture, every time I stood still for two minutes,... everything froze ! Because Greg is feeling less than his usual self, I offered to help him process the turkey, ( big mistake ) The agreement was that it would not look like a turkey when I was introduced to it....somehow, a headless torso and two attached feet did not disguise Tom the Turkey. The whole process got seriously out of control when something in the lifeless body started to twitch . My scream was worthy of Most Haunteds Best and my leap in the opposite direction was Olympian. I don't do "dead" and Gregs explanation of the scientific process of residual nerve  action was no consolation...he will pay !! ( Two trips to Goodwill out of this one, smile). So, tonight, the world ( well, the Penninsula ) is still white, the roads are like glass and the forecast for tomorrow not much better. Goodnight and God Bless from the Ice Granny. Take care.  M
