This is an AP image collected on Christmas Eve on the campus of my beloved alma mater to the west in Lawrence. Unfortunately, it was uncredited... so I do not know whose work it is, but it pretty much sums up the past 24 hours.

When all was said and done, we ended up with only about eight inches... but there is a healthy glaze of ice beneath it and there has been significant wind and drifting. Just maybe... tomorrow we'll actually try to leave the house...

Christmas plans with family were foiled by Mother Nature... but it wasn't all bad. There was napping. And champagne. And the same Christmas dinner originally planned... just downsized a bit. And the aroma of fresh-from-the-oven cookies wafting through the house. And a warm kitty snoozing in my lap. And a good book. And a cozy blanket. And more napping.

Merry Christmas, Everyone! May the hope, love and good will that is this season stay with you throughout the new year to come...

Sounds like you had a lovely day despite the crummy weather. I think today (Sunday) will be our day to stay in and snuggle with a furry friend and a good book.
ReplyDeleteIt was lovely, Kathy. Hopefully you're having that kind of a day today! Both Ed and I went out and spent two hours on the walks and driveway. Can't imagine what it was like digging out of your place!
ReplyDeleteI know exactly how the Jayhawk feels. Brrr.....
