Just got my heating bill yesterday. Even with having to keep the house extra warm for a week when the puppy was born, I wasn't expecting it to be higher than any I received last winter! Natural gas prices increased by 50% here, and the really cold stuff hasn't hit yet - ouch!!! Janice Buchanan Freezing in Utah In a message dated 12/4/2005 11:34:12 A.M.

Here in South Dakota we got blasted by one of the worst blizzards we have had in several years - we only got 9 inches of snow, but the drifts got to be as high as some people's houses when the 50 to 60 mph winds hit, plus it was on top of about 2 inches of freezing rain/ice.....THAT was on Monday into Tuesday this past week. Then on Wednesday we got another 6-7 inches. I was without power until mid-Tuesday afternoon, and there are still some people in the state who won't have any power until perhaps today or tomorrow - at least I had my dogs to keep me warm. All of this happened in November - and they say that this year, DECEMBER is going to be way snowier than usual - YIKES!!!!! Everyone says we need the moisture.....but I'd GLADLY take it in the form of a nice, warm rain!! Send some of that 70-degree weather here!!
