We awoke this morning to a curtain of white.
The first storm of the winter season was predicted for days, and is so widespread that it is affecting parts far and near. Many parts of daily life appear to be paralyzed. There is news even in the early morning hours that the school buses have been hauled off the roads, and that will doubtless lead to severely reduced numbers of little ones in the corridors of schools today.
The snow is scheduled to continue for the better part of the day, so travel will also be curtailed, but that won't stop life as we know it. Some who we know, and many who we don't, are travelling today and will doubtless face any number of delays. If they're smart, they will only travel if necessary, and even then, will take extra precautions to make sure that they arrive safely.
Thankfully our new houseguest travelled yesterday and not today. This means that he can begin the process of settling in while not having to worry about the dangers imposed by all the fluffy stuff flying about.
