No business like snow business...

So marchforth2 says her corner of South Carolina got its first white Christmas since 1963.

We saw the first flakes on this morning's dog walk; rooves and lawns were white by late morning. By mid-afternoon it was maybe six inches deep and coming down heavily (the forecast says one to two feet). Fortunately, we had little need to leave the house: the fridge is overflowing with leftovers, we had several holiday specials on tape or DVD yet to watch, and lots of holiday music on CD still to play.... We walked to the theater this afternoon (because we could) to see "The King's Speech", then came home to the chili that had been in the crockpot all day. And Christmas cookies. Hmm... hot chocolate, or hot buttered rum? Or molten-centered chocolate cakes? Decisions, decisions....

To all our friends out in this weather, don't do anything stupid, do get home safely, and if you happen to be stranded in our neighborhood, we have a spare bed....
