What a beautiful sight. As late as midnight last night, the forecasters were calling for a light dusting at best, if anything at all. Looks like they missed this one. I awoke around 6 a.m. to check on my son (now apparently fever-free), and walked into the living room to a glow emanating through the windows. I opened the shears to see a sea of white, with the snow still coming down. Three deer were picking their way across the yard, only visible in the still dark hours because of the deepening blanket. I watched them for almost 15 minutes, just enjoying the moment.
Four hours later, the snow continues to fall, with the "forecast" now updated, calling for 2-4 inches before the day is out. According to the ruler, I figure we've had 2.5 inches so far. It really is a pretty sight, and a wonderful Christmas surprise.
