Thank you Judy!

Yeah you could say that again! The day before it was warm enough to wear shorts and no jacket, and the next day, blizzard! I just found this video, I'm not sure if you'll be able to see it...

Those were the conditions on Friday afternoon. Terrible!

The same day, winds were so strong in Scott's hometown that they had to evacuate a downtown building because it was swaying in the wind, up to 18 inches at the top And people were getting nauseous from the movement. Here in the city, a roofer was blown off a 3 story roof while trying to fix damage from the wind (not exactly a smart move)... He survived and is in hospital. Unfortunately, one woman was killed when a small shed type building on skids blew over and squished her between it and her car
