Snow

Laura - our snow looked like that, too. It must have been quite exciting, and beautiful, for Huntsville to have a White Xmas. Our snow began on Xmas Eve with decent coverage before 10 p.m. , and more snow fell between Xmas Eve & Day. DS & DDIL left here and drove to East Tenn. on Xmas Day without drama yesterday, but need to drive to Atlanta today, as DDIL must be at work on Monday. I hope the roads are safe, and will be contacting them in a little while for an update.

According to the TV reports, Atlanta had a white Xmas, too. Wow... Watching the news is quite exciting.

Northern Europe & UK have been a mess with all their snow. The reports of Christmas travel plans getting changed, stalled, etc. sounded awful. My DH's brother was in Paris (France), on business, a week ago when their heavy snow fell, shutting down almost all transportation. He took the Metro as far as he could, and then had a 30-block walk in the snow to get to his hotel. Fortunately, he returned home a few days before the roof caved in from weight of snow at Chas. de Gaulle airport!

We are staying home today. Nowhere we need to go, and we truly need to "veg out" after a breif but nice Xmas with DS, DDIL and their 50-lb eight-month-old puppy. ;-) We're accustomed to a small dog, so having Belle here is quite a shock. And for all my worrying about doggie accidents on the new carpet, the only crisis was one human accidentally walking into (and spilling!) a glass of egg nog on same new carpet. Welp,,, I can stop worrying now! LOL

Current weather forecast predicts a high of 60° F on Friday.

Stay warm, dry and off slippery roads.
