It's 27 degrees and ice everywhere. My wife's van got pummelled last night by someone turning out of the wrong lane and I haven't ridden my bike in over a week. I was at Disney World all last week, so I could not ride it. I am ready for winter to end.

Oh yeah, I live in Texas. It's in the 50's tomorrow and up over 60 the two days after that. Can't wait until tomorrow.

Any of you seen the weather in Southern NH and Northern Mass. We are in a state of emergency because of an ice storm that came through on Thursday night, still about 250,000 without power. Everyone I work with still has no power and a lot of the schools are being used for shelters, so they have closed until Jan 5 2009. Anyone in our area let me know if you need any help. If there is anything I can do I will try.
