Spring Snow Storm!

According to Amtrak's "train status" link, Mom and Dad departed  3 minutes early this afternoon from Sanford, FL for Lorton, VA on the Auto Train. They will arrive in VA tomorrow and then, depending on the weather, they'll either drive back to Hancock or spend the night in VA.
Meanwhile, we received about 7-8 inches of snow last night. This was the day after Dan's baseball team split their first double header!  The storm caused the U of IL and Illinois State to cancel classes!!
 Watch dog
 Tom folded Shadow's "front porch" to cover the entrance to her house to keep the snow out.  She slept in the garage.
She wasn't happy spending too much time outside, though. Dan and I constructed a snow man and a wall. I tried to cross-country ski this morning but the snow was too sticky for a proper glide.
