Here’s how it went. Saturday – a snowflake for the coming Wednesday on my cell phone weather App. Ignored. Sunday – a winter storm advisory was in my texts from the county. Deleted. Monday – a winter storm watch was in my texts from the county. Deleted. Tuesday – a winter storm warning was in my texts from the county, with details, and times. Read and deleted. It’s probably nothing.

My husband and I recently spent a week in Indianapolis. The trip was all about him. It’s a city I have passed through, but never visited. We managed to be there for the record breaking cold and a surprise snow storm.
