The leaves are long gone the naked trees sigh
White powder adorns them a season gone by
The icy wind beckons tho nobody's there
Come the bleak winter without despair

Come the Bleak Winter
According to my calendar today is the first "official" day of winter. Who decides that? I'd like to know. The weather outside is frightful, and I'm feeling far from delightful. It's been a combination of snow, sleet, and rain mixing and churning into icy cold mayhem. We're due for some more snow today so the outlook is good for a white Christmas, Hanukkah, what have you. Does it really matter? As long as your happy with yourself, and to a lesser degree, those around you.

It's not too bad in Ohio right now. There is snow on the ground. It looks quite nice. AND, I can even see the sky! I see some blue up there instead of grey! Wait, is that SUN-LIGHT?
It's very bright out due to the 5" of snow everywhere. About 21*. I'm hoping it will stick for a white Christmas.
*Stefany's forecast is complete*
It's also the winter solstice today, so days start getting longer and nights start getting shorter. I assume the "official" start of winter is meant to coincide with that.
That's an odd paradox Cate, but I'll go with it.
Stefany my dear- It's ALWAYS bad in Ohio! Jus' kiddin'..................or am I?
