I am glad to hear you are okay. The news presents this like ya'all are buried in snow-..
Its cold here too. We have been in the teens since Jan.31st. We got 4 inches yesterday but there is another storm coming monday.. Thats okay- the dogs love it!
I use vaseline on my hands. I put it on a half an hour before bedtime so its worked in by the time I go to bed. It seems to work as my skin tends to be dry anyway.. lol.
