It never ceases to amaze me about our crazy weather here in the Ozarks. Again today we were sitting at a balmy 60 degrees around 4:00 this afternoon and now at 8:00 it is 29 degrees. We are also expecting some sleet and snow, but it's not supposed to amount to much.

Later on in the week, the outlook goes something like this:

"ADDITIONAL FREEZING RAIN...SLEET AND SNOW WILL BE POSSIBLE
TUESDAY AND AGAIN WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND EARLY THURSDAY MORNING.

THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE AREA THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING."

It IS possible to go from freezing rain one day and thunderstorms the next as we have
experienced that in the past.  I have a feeling this winter will be a doozy.

Billy's grandfather is still hanging in there, but I have a feeling not for much 
longer. The kids and grandkids have all had a chance to spend a little bit of time 
with him in the past few days and tell him once again how much they love him. But
they all agree that he has told them that he is ready to 'go home' and not to worry.

Please continue to keep all of his family in your prayers as they go through these
next few days.
