For all you people down in sunny South Carolina, I just wanted to put up some pictures of what winter is supposed to look like ;). And not just for a day, either. This is what winter is supposed to look like until about March, at which point everything will be slushy until mid-April.
So most of this break has been doing Christmas and family stuff. My parent's waited to get a tree and do most of the decorating until I got back, so it's been busy. Plus, we went into Chicago for a night and attended the live recording of "Wait, wait...don't tell me", which is a quiz show in NPR.

ng for a cheap date, give it a try.I was happy when I flew in because there was plenty of snow on the ground. However, since then it's rained, then snowed, then rained again, and so right now there's slightly less snow on the ground than in these pictures, but I'm hoping it will snow again before I have to head back south. From the picture on the right, you can see that we had a few days of ice fog which made driving extra fun, but did allow my nephew, Matt, to run around the tree farm pretending he was in "The Mist".
Now that Robbie's up in Rockford things should be more fun. We've already tried, unsuccessfully so far, so build a replacement Wii sensor bar, since he left his in Peoria, but I think I've tracked down the problem. Once that's fixed there will be plenty of Wii fun to be had.
With that, I will leave everyone to their Christmas-y fun. I hope everyone had a great break and I'll see you all in 2008!
