RE: Please dont do as I did.
I am glad you are relatively okay. Thats scary stuff. If it was Canadian, you probably didn't miss much being as warm and windy as we are right now. I came in at 8:15 this am as it was already 50 degrees and blowing.
But with a new front blowing in tomorrow and theforecast to be cold for several days afterward, and you being out for Christmas break........well you being laid up stinks, but like you said it could have been a LOT worse. Hoping for a fast recovery.
