Waking up Monday morning to a beautiful winter wonderland with light, fluffy, manageable snow was a real treat.

Last week's big snow left the ground covered everywhere.

Often, when weather forecasters warn of a big storm coming, the reaction is a bit of a "ho hum!"

Everything in weather world is relative.

The weather, like my family members (including myself), does not respond to criticism.

Last Friday’s snowfall was beyond beautiful. The trees were covered and all was quiet at first light.
