December 19. The weather report predicted we're getting about 24 inches of snow here in Leesburg, VA. It started falling last night, and it's been going pretty much nonstop every since. Today I'm going to stay inside and wrap YAKMAS presents and drink hot cocoa. I'd bake some cookies, but that would require walking to the store two miles in the snow uphill both ways! HA! I'll probably go out later to shovel the walk and try to find our newspaper, which is buried under the snow somewhere. Nice.
