I think we've set a record for snow here this winter - yet more last night - it's been a colder winter , too. Can't see past the snow banks at the end of the driveway when I drive my car out. The whole town look like a snow fort.

And then I remember the extremely hard winter they're having in Afghanistan this year, and I feel extremely lucky. I have modern heating and electricity and water. Plus I don't have to worry about being dug out.

Plus no tornados.
