>My confidence in a white Christmas may have been premature. It has warmed up considerably and is raining the snow away. There may be none left tomorrow. I’m sure this makes the street crews happy. They were out very late last night clearing off snow from the downtown area streets. We have a good highway department here. All of our services are great, in fact. Fire, police, downtown association. They keep the downtown nice and appealing with lots to do during the year. Small towns can be great, although not all of them I’ve lived in have been as great as this one.

I am watching an On Demand video of snow falling on pines with Christmas music in the background. Very nice. Hope all of my (one? two?) readers have a wonderful holiday, and a healthy new year.
