Snow far, snow good!

I was reminded today, by some pictures on a local news show, how very different last December was form this one.  This year, no snow and today it got up to 46 degrees.  Last year most kids ended up with three weeks off from school instead of the usual two, mountains of snow and sub-zero temperatures.  I'm sure there are kids out there right now praying for snow like last year, but as for me, I will remain grateful for every day that I drive on dry pavement.  It's one of life's quiet pleasures.
