Hello Winter!

I was reading Lisa (lpprdlvr's) blog and noticed that she had posted about the weather she is getting. Since we don't live all that far from eachother, (she's near Columbus, I'm near Cleveland) I thought I'd post what is being said on my weather bug. I love Ohio weather. HA! I don't drive (yet!) so, I don't have to worry about that part. I can just sit in my house and watch it all day. LOL
