Let It Snow

The first storm of the season is bearing down on us as I type.  The forecast is calling for 4-6 inches but it has been revised as the storm got closer to the area.  They say that if you don't like the weather here just wait ten minutes and it will change.

The impending storm did cause a change to our plans for Christmas Tree hunting.  A few years ago, an ice storm hit as we were cutting down our tree.  We ended up in a ditch on the way home.  We also saw at least 12 other vehicles with similar fates.  We never want a repeat of that day so we decided to stay close to home and got our tree from a lot tonight.  The kids were sad and so were we but better to place it safe rather than go through that again.

The smell of a fresh tree in the house is great.  Tomorrow the lights and ornaments go on.  Tis the season and it is great.
