Snow

Our mission is smack dab in the middle of the "Mid Atlantic" snow storm. The first two photos were taken early this morning looking out the front door of the mission home. I had to dig a path for Ruby, the mission dog, to pee. She lives for adventures like this.

The rest of the photos were taken yesterday. Two are of our patio and the rest were taken as I traveled to Souderton and Reading. I was often the only car on the road. Luckily my mission vehicle is a new Chevy Traverse, a very dependable all-wheel drive "rig".

Officially, 28.5 inches was measured at Philadelphia International Airport, just shy of the all-time record and vaulting the winter of 2009-10 to No. 2 for snow in 126 years of record-keeping.  This winter is within 10 inches of becoming the snowiest ever. Another storm is possible Tuesday night into Wednesday.

  2. On a practically unrelated note, my mission prep teacher used the phrase "master teacher" today. He's fresh off a mission in PPM and I was happy to know that he listened to you. :)

  5. Wow- a winter wonderland-very much like our Christmas 2008 here!
    The dafodils are coming up here, though it was frosty this morning. (I think they're saying this has been the warmest winter on record for us!) See you soon!
