A Little Wintry Mix

We woke up this morning to a light dusting of snow decorating yards and trees. This was the scene on the Normandie Golf Course as we headed for church about 9 a.m. Those are not shadows under the trees, but places where the snow had already melted. Flurries continued throughout the day, but roads were just wet and the powdered sugar coating was gone by noon. In fact, the central part of the city didn't get snow at all, just drizzle. Nevertheless it was hard not to remember that on this date two years ago, Nov. 30, 2006, we had a major ice storm that left parts of the region without power for a week or more. We were only out about 50 hours. (Click on link for my blog entry about it.) It's an experience we don't want to go through again any time soon!
