December 19 Snowstorm

On December 19th the midwest was pounded by a snowstorm.  The storm extends from Minnesota all the way to Florida.  There are tornados expected in Alabama.  The Omaha, Nebraska utility crew worked throught the night in white out condition the restore power to 38,000 homes due to the storm.  Near Des Moines there were 30,000 homes without power.  Today is expected to be windy with blizzard conditions throughout the day.  Christmas is aproaching and this snowstorm didn't help with traveling.  In our area we recived about seven inches.  The bad part about this storm is it was right in the middle of semester tests and pushed every test into one day which I think sucks.  What do you think?      Merry Christmas
