While Marshmallows Melt

I’m in Virginia, in the shadow of the Blue Ridge, preparing for what should be 24 hours of snow… it's forecast to begin later tonight. The previous storm (the weekend prior to Christmas) dumped almost two feet on us; therefore I should have no problem taking this less significant storm in stride.

I like snow… with hot chocolate at the table and the blinds wide open… heavenly.

I will be staying in tomorrow… and off the roads. Snow is like a magnifying glass when it comes to driving skills. It makes good drivers better and bad drivers worse. For that reason I will enjoy the event from inside, where I can sip hot chocolate and ponder the Adirondack winters of my youth… while snowflakes fall and marshmallows melt.
