Winter Wonderland

As we brace for another snowstorm to hit the East Coast (the snow is already starting to fall), apparently this is a relatively rare time when 49 out of the 50 states have snow on the ground.  The lone holdout?  Florida, although apparently it did snow there several weeks ago, it melted and there is no snow currently on the ground.

Coming back from North Dakota where we had snow drifts high enough that kids were able to climb up and dunk a basketball hoop, watching people down in the South flounder with a couple of inches of snow is amusing.

Still, seeing some of the satellite imagery is a little frightening...the map almost looks like the start of a new ice age...
