Needless to say, I'd take piles of snow over ice any day.<br /><br />By the way, I met you during my stay at the Monastery during Christmas. I would not have been hard to miss... think Asian guy. At the time, I had meant to mention that I had discovered your blog before when seeing your Clear Creek pictures on another blog (The New Liturgical Movement). Hope you and your family are still doing well and getting your power/water back online.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14577806.post-1190771529603266722007-01-16T22:48:00.000-06:002007-01-16T22:48:00.000-06:00In Arkansas only a small corner of the state got i...In Arkansas only a small corner of the state got ice. It is still bitter cold, but we have electricity. Is there anything we can bring to you? We hope to come out on Sunday to the monastery, if the roads are passable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14577806.post-89514779457257555972007-01-16T20:38:00.000-06:002007-01-16T20:38:00.000-06:00Your severe weather is still in the news where it ...Your severe weather is still in the <A HREF="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070117/ap_on_re_us/winter_blast">news</A> where it said you might not have power in OK until next week. Unbelievable. <br />Hope that doesn’t mean that the severe weather is going to last that long.Disciplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03031944955010115869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14577806.post-77942608562803104672007-01-16T20:21:00.000-06:002007-01-16T20:21:00.000-06:00I like the new picture on your profile.

First I thought it was a photo but on closer inspection I saw it was a painting- a very nice painting.<br />Also, I have to confess to nosing through the links to your family and friends, on the right hand side, in an attempt to discover who’s who, in relation to you! It’s hard to drag myself away. Do you know all these people personally?<br />I still have a kind of guilty feeling about poking through everything, as if I shouldn’t be doing it. Lots of nice photos though.Disciplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03031944955010115869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14577806.post-40876042302702561702007-01-16T10:50:00.000-06:002007-01-16T10:50:00.000-06:00It all sounds incredibly awful.

The BBC had to explain what an ice storm is, since we don’t get them in Ireland or Britain. It said there were 35 people dead. <br />I can’t imagine how wild animals or domestic animals survive in such conditions even for a few hours.<br />We generally use the Celsius scale- I found a converter <A HREF="http://www.wbuf.noaa.gov/tempfc.htm">here</A>.<br />2 Fahrenheit is -16 Celsius which is unimaginably cold. <br />Still, it doesn’t get too hot here either and I’m hoping that the pace of global warning will accelerate and wipe away some of the grey clouds!!<br />Hope the weather eases up soon for you.Disciplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03031944955010115869noreply@blogger.com
