We've lived in Huntsville, Alabama, since the summer of 1972. Throughout that whole time we've seen snow only a few times; never on Christmas Day. Until now! We woke up this morning to falling snow, and I headed outside for a picture. We ended up with about five inches on the grass and bushes. We had to be in Birmingham later on Christmas Day to meet Melissa and her family. They were scheduled to arrive in Birmingham, after traveling from Arizona by train, at 2:30. So we packed up the van and left Huntsville as quickly after getting up as we could to avoid any highway complications because of the snow.

We are staying overnight in Birmingham with our son. Next weekend I'll post the family picture I plan to take tomorrow. Stay tuned.
