Snow day of the 26th is already going away. The roads were all clear by yesterday only one day after the snow. The snow is either blowing or melting off the roofs that face south. Aaron left this morning for Florida after going to breakfast with his friends the Halbrooks. They live a few miles from us here in N.C.

We have enjoyed the snow, Aaron enjoyed it and even the kitties enjoyed it (for a minute or two.) The house is nice and warm, the pipes are secure under the house in insulation and the showers are nice and hot.

This greeted us this morning out our dining room window. We got 5-6 inches of snow overnight. So much that the roads are still covered. The issue here is that it rains first so the streets can get icy. So services were cancelled for today to protect the brethren from any auto mishaps. The snow will be all gone by Tuesday they say so Aaron will be going home then. Even the after Christmas sales were cancelled at the malls.

Our youngest son, Aaron, surprised us tonight at about 11:30PM by walking in the house. (Gotta change the code). We were not expecting him until the 24th evening. He worked half a day then got in his Honda Civic and got here in about 9 1/2 hours. We are all going to Christmas Dinner at our friends the Shoemakers, from church, for Prime Rib about 5 PM and then Sunday Aaron will be leading singing at the Walnut Street church of Christ in Cary, N.C.

The weather people are saying it might snow on the 25th but every time they have said we would get snow it has passed over us. We shall see if we have a "white Christmas." At least our car is All Wheel Drive so driving on wet roads is not an issue. The city has already "brined" the roads so the snow won't stick if it does snow.
