Oh the weather outside is frightful!

It has been really, really cold here.  I usually don't mind the winter, until this year.  I think I am just picky about winter, if it isn't snowing I think the cold should go away.  It has been freezing here and we haven't had any significant snow.  I am stuck inside with the boys who are dying to go out and build a snowman.  I am left worrying about the electric bill, because who in their right mind would build a 3200 square foot house with electric heat?  Apparently, the builders of our house would!  Another issue this year is the lack of humidity, I just had to order another humidifier for upstairs because everyone is itchy and stuffy.  I am hopeful though, tomorrow we are supposed to get a storm and actual accumulation!  I counting on the weather people being right this time.  Mostly, I am waiting for spring...only three months to go!
