THE BIG SNOW

I know that many of you back East have just experienced some mighty snow falls, but sometimes it's good to remember those who are less fortunate than you so I wanted to tell you briefly about our big storm.

As I walked past the upstairs window last Monday night I noticed that the ground was white. Well by the time we got up, we had not 22 inches of snow, not 32 inches of snow, not even 42 inches of snow.... We had 50 millimeters of snow and all that day the temperature hovered around zero degrees centigrade. Traffic was backed up in front of the campus which has never happened before. Although we had no command to stay off the roads, I decided to take the train to my meeting that I had planned to drive to.

I thought I'd send you a few pictures so that at least one of us can be thankful for what we have.

"Be thankful in all circumstances for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus." I Thessalonians 5:18

OK Donn. I did the online conversion...50 millimeter = 1.968503937 inch. Not even 2!

However did you manage?

Blessings,
Natalie

Hey Donn/Daisey,
I know how you feel deprived with the snow. It is cold here in Central FL, (40F) this morning and maybe 50F this afternoon. NO SNOW! How tough can it be. I love it, no frost to scrape, no snow to shovel. Spring is just around the corner so the ground hog says! BUT 44F ON THE THRONE IS A BIT LITTLE!

Love you guys,
