Glad you guys didn't get as cold as predicted--about the same as us--we hit 29 instead of late predictions of 25.

The Colorado mountain valley of Gunnison got down to -35F before windchill. That is why I spend 2 weeks in January in Rio De Janerio it is 95F on Copacabana Beach. ALL STAY WARM - VOTE FOR SOMEONE!

LIfe is not that easy - I am still in Colorado trying to get my taxes ready and trying to stay warm, wishing I was in Rio. I was there a few years ago, it is addictive laying on a warm beach in January where your biggest problem is not getting sunburned in the shade. Cool I spent Christmas 2006 in Egypt which was not a bad substitute.
