Snow, snow everywhere

There's an incredible amount of snow on the ground here right now. They're saying we're in the middle of a blizzard. That seems like a kind of dramatic term to me, but I suppose when you get a foot of snow in one day, they've got to call it something!

My roommates and I were all sent home early from work today - I only got about an hour and a half in before hitting the road again - and it was pretty great. We did a lot of cleaning house and catching up on correspondence. If we end up snowed in again tomorrow, I vote we bake cookies!

This weekend, there was far less snow on the ground, but I went with a handful of friends to Crawfordsville, Indiana for a bit of sledding and hiking in the woods. The house we stayed in was wonderful - we sat around the fireplace reading Time and Cosmo while sipping on cocoa and cider. And my travel buddies are pretty great themselves.

Here are a few photos from that adventure:
