Progress In December
A light snow is falling outside all day, recoating the six lovely inches that fell late Saturday night. We woke up Sunday morning to a changed scenery. THIS snow will stay.

A Skiff Of Snow And Other Stuff of December
All we have is a skiff of snow. Not enough for anything but making the back roads slick and to be able to say that there IS snow. Not enough to play in, or make a snow man of, or plow even.
