I’ve noticed since we’ve lived here that the worst storms seem to go right past us.  Yes, there have been a few bad storms that scared Teri a little bit; afraid it might be a tornado in the middle of the night because there were noisy high winds, but for the most part all of the big storms have veered off a few miles to the north or the south.  Very rarely does our particular neighborhood get hit. 

I was commenting on that this morning to Teri because the weatherman kept predicting we were going to get a bad wintry mix storm starting last night and lasting all day, but when we got up this morning the skies were a little bit gray, but there was nothing falling from them.  And now, it is afternoon and the sky is cleared up.  It’s a little bit brisk out, but it IS January after all, and that is to be expected!  I think we picked a pretty good place to live!
