Here in the southeast area of the country, we received two unusually harsh winter storms in the last couple of weeks. When I remember back to my earlier days of skiing in Colorado, snow was always a beautiful and welcoming site, but here in the south, I wouldn’t even own a coat now if it had not been for the skiing part. As with most storms in life, there are lessons that can be learned.
