Well, our big winter storm only resulted in a small glaze of ice on Sunday, and then it rained late that night and melted it away. We were lucky and didn't have any problems. Now there's a chance of snow this weekend, and in the meantime it's very, very cold. This morning when I left for work it was 16°F. And it's supposed to be cold like this for the next 10 days. Winter is back!
One of my Christmas gifts was an Ancestry DNA kit. I sent off my sample last month and I just got the results back this weekend. Here's what I learned:
There were no real surprises except possibly the 6% from Denmark.

Interesting! I guess the Denmark connection is very closely connected to your Northwestern German ancestry. Apparently no Yorkshire blood in your veins, though, as I imagine Neil is going to point out :-)
Anyway, I'm glad you didn't suffer any power outtages or other problems related with the icy storm. I don't know what 16F is in Celsius and am too lazy to look it up, but I hope you'll be keeping warm and cooking lots of nice crock pot meals and soups - winter's comfort food!
Stay warm and cozy and safe, Jennifer!
What a fascinating mix. (And what a fun gift.)
