Wind Chill Advisory

We are under a wind chill advisory today, and we are expecting more snow, but I don't think we'll get a lot.  Yesterday the kids' schools dismissed one hour early because officials were worried about heavy snowfalls during the drive home.  Today they were on a two-hour delay because of the cold temperatures.

Early yesterday morning there was a bad house fire in Bardstown, KY that killed 11 people, six of them children.  Apparently there were multiple families living together, or, more precisely, three generations in one house.  The officials are expecting to be able to announce a cause this evening.  So far, though, they seem to have ruled out appliances, including a space heater that was found.  There were smokers in the house, so they haven't ruled out cigarrettes.  The Bardstown community is really devastated right now.

Our heartful prayers go out to their souls.  Such terrible news.
We have had 7 weeks of bad weather.  It has finally broken with the temps in the 50's.  Knock on wood.....more snow is in the forcast.
Keep warm,
