Here in Northern Indiana we've had high winds with some blowing snow. Suffering from a bad case of stiff neck. I get it good about twice a year and this is one of those times. Its no fun walking around like Igor. :-/ Rick B ----- Original Message ----- From: Don Churchfield To: padutch-life@rootsweb.com Sent: Tuesday, December 08, 2009 11:01 AM Subject: [PD-LIFE] Winter weather Once again Arizona has been hit hard by a winter storm. We don't have an snow at our elevation here in the southern part of the state, but I imagine we will see snow in the higher elevations when the clouds clear away. The northern part of the state is pretty much shut down because of heavy snowfall and high winds. We did have high winds last night, at times we had gusts in excess of 70 miles per hour. The neighbor behind us lost about 24 feet of fence but the only damage we had was the safety net on my grand daughters trampoline got blown off. I can fix that, though. A few things did get re-arranged in my outdoor kitchen, but that is easy to remedy. We did get a little ran, but doesn't seem to be very much. There are some power lines down but not in our district. The power went off momentarily through the night, but only for a few seconds. There are lots of businesses in town that had plate glass windows blown out or damaged. Sure hope it doesn't start up again today. Right now we have about 10 mile per hour winds, and that is not bad. Don in AZ
