Snow

Well, we had more of an ice storm than a winter snow storm yesterday.  The forecast included that it would not warm up for the next few days.

I woke up about 4:30 AM and thought it was after 7:30 AM. As it was white out, I thought it was the white and bright of dawning day.  But no, it was the white and dull of low clouds and snow on the ground reflecting what little ambient light there was in the area. It does not hurt that we have a waxing gibbous moon right now, that provided some light above the cloud cover. That was an interesting sensation.

It has stayed cold today, so the typical snow and melt cycle of West Texas did not occur.  While I had plans for the day, nothing was urgent or emergent, so I decided to go with safety first and stayed in, and stayed warm.

I often think it would be nice to have a day to myself, with no obligations pending. Well, that was not quite the day, as I did do some chores around the house, but they were all pleasant, easy, and things that I enjoy.

The rest of my New Year's Eve will be more of the same.  Thank you. 

As we enter into the New Year, my wish for everyone is peace.
