Yes!  We finally have snow here too.  The kids are clomping about 
the house in their new snow boots, itching to go out again.  They 
were already having a snowball fight on the lawn at church after 
coffee hour today.  Later, we're going to take them (and us) to see 
Jimmy Neutron, which seems to have gotten very good notices.  
Unfortunately, the weather's getting rather warm here now, so there 
may not be snow on the ground tommorrow for further play (tomorrow's 
a holiday for them.)  We're probably going over to their school in 
the morning for MLK day (cleaning classrooms) but then we'll have 
the afternoon free, so hopefully all the snow won't disappear.

My sister is back in Philly after living elsewhere for over twenty 
years (a bout in the air force which included Germany, Monterey, 
Texas, and most recently, Wash. state).  During her drive here from 
Seattle, she and her friend were just slightly ahead of the snow the 
whole way.  On the one hand, she's here because she felt the need 
for a six-month trial separation from husband no. 2; on the other 
hand, our mom has also been rather depressed since dad died, and I 
think it'll be good for my sister to be around.  So I'm convinced 
there's good in everything, if you look hard enough for it, and if 
she's meant to go back to Washington, she's meant to, and if she's 
meant to file for divorce, then that will be what is for the best....
