Let It Snow

Snow.


Snow is what we woke up to yesterday, and it was still there this morning when we woke up.  In my Dad's opinion, we must not be far enough south.  As a child, I remember his dream to put a snow shovel on the top of the van and start driving south.  How far south ?  Until someone asked what that was on top of our van.  "And that's where we'll stop", he'd say,  "because if they don't know what a snow shovel is...  that's a good place to be".  If you're from the northern states, you might share this sentiment.  Ten foot drifts and closed interstates do not make for great vacation spots.  As a matter of fact, according to my wife, snow is one of the biggest reasons we won't live in Iowa.


But I must admit that I'm a bit of an outcast.  I love snow.  In my opinion, we don't get nearly enough snow here in Missouri.  And that is where I lost most of you anti-snow folks.  So, for those of you who continue to read, let me share with you the top ten reasons I love snow.


10)  Snow reminds me of Christmas

  9) ...hmmm  well, ...

  8) ...


Ok, so there really aren't that many reasons to love snow.


But the snow we have here today serves as a reminder that Christmas is indeed right around the corner.   So whether you love the snow or not, I'd like to wish you all a Merry Christmas!
