A little snow finally?

Happy Holidays, folks. Lately in Bismarck, it hasn't seemed particularly
holiday-like. It's been warm. And the forecasted winter-like
temperatures that always seem to be in the forecast never arrive.

But it's snowing right now. If I had my camera, I'd take a picture for
you. It's a pathetically light dusting of snow, but it's really the
first I've seen in Bismarck since it snowed back in October. Whatever
happened to the epic blizzards that used to close down our schools and
send us scrambling to the supermarket? Perhaps it's too early in the
winter. After all, it technically is fall. But it's been about ten
degrees above normal lately.

I've got a few things I want to blog about - such as the death of a
family member, a trip to Maine, and the end of summer in general (I have
pictures). But these things are all hard to write about, so I've been
silent.

The flakes are still falling, and it's beginning to look a lot like
Christmas.
