Watching the Storm

Found a cute little snow globe with a Teddy Santa earlier this week. The girls love 
watching it snow in there, as they dream of a white Christmas outside.

I don't know about a "white Christmas" anymore. Earlier this week they were forecasting 20 to 30 cm of snow with the storm coming in tonight, but now we are in for a major ice storm instead. We had a bit of freezing rain last night already, and everything was covered with a thin layer of ice, so we went out to do all our last minute Christmas shopping right after our granddaughters left at noon. Good thing too, as by two the roads and malls were PACKED. Got everything done though, and now we are all set to see what happens with this big storm. They are forecasting 20 to 30 mm of ice on everything by the time it's all over. Hopefully we don't lose too many trees - or power. It could be a sparkly diamond wonderland out there by this time tomorrow - or at least on Monday when we are back in the deep freeze and the sun is supposed to come out again.
