White Christmas

Latest projections are for a White Christmas, and most are saying this would be a first in the past 50 years. Growing up in Wisconsin, a White Christmas wasn't an unusual event, we often had snow on the ground or got a Christmas dusting. Since 1971 snow for me on Christmas has been a very rare event (possibly non-existent). Panama, southern Georgia, southern Illinois and Kansas City aren't exactly the best spots for Frosty and his gang. Nonetheless, waking up tomorrow to the white stuff...on Christmas...will be special.

In that regard, my snow crew is at the ready...well, son Matthew is ready to fire up the lawn tractor and push the snow to the side, for the moment I play the role of supervisor.

While we go ga-ga at the snow, a bit of the Grinch appears, stealing Christmas from the WL Public Works crew...on duty making sure our streets are clear. Sincere thanks to George and the "boys" for doing what they do and making our streets the best in the Metro. Thanks too to Public Safety, always there if needed, our Police are part of the core services vital to making our community the wonderful place it is.
