Rain, rain, go away

From the dusting of snow in Cleveland to the deluge of rain in San Francisco, it turns out that those heavy jackets and warm boots were a good investment. I never expected that they would be used again so soon after our return!




















The phone rang at 2:00 this afternoon. It was Charlotte's principal. The school district had decided that parents should pick up their children early from school due to the weather. It was hardly even raining by then, but the aftermath of the wind and rain remained: backed-up sewers, fallen trees and power lines, closed bridges and highways.

It was much more fun to wear the boots in the snow than in the rain:
