My alarm started ringing at 7:40. As I groggily rolled over to hit the snooze, I noticed a strange white glow outside the window. What!? What!!! Hey, that's snow!!! Indeed, the ground was covered with about 6 inches of snow. The birch and pine trees that surround our cabin were also covered with snow. All morning, we kept hearing tree branches snapping off under the weight of the snow. The good part of all this is that school was canceled today, due to unreliable power at the school. So, bring on the hot chocolate and cookies!!
