Finally?

The first snow of the season has arrived! The morning started out rainy but quickly changed to snow. Small flakes changed into larger flakes but now it's back to small flakes. More is expected.

Why such excitement from this form of precipitation? Hey!  It's winter and Christmas is almost here!  I know, I know. We here in this part of Virginia do not receive as much snow as other parts of the country but to get just a little bit takes me back.

But while I think of childhood memmories, I am also thinking of our Marines, soldiers, airmen and sailors that are in harm's way in Iraq and Afghanistan. The temps are dropping there also. If you haven't already done so, show our military personnel that we still care. Send a package. Drop a card in the mail. There are many organizations that will forward it for you. I would list them here but I sure you're intelligent enough to find them for yourselves.

Closing out...."the weather outside is frightful."

Stay safe.  Stay warm.

See you next time!
