What Happened to Global Warming?

Well, It's the question that's been at the fore front of everyones mind
here in the Southeast.

(Aside: We had another Friday with school closing at noon
because of an ice storm that was on it's way to Northern Alabama.
As it happened, Ben spend almost 2 hours on a city school bus.
So let me get this straight: Because they wanted to protect the children
he spent a good portion of the day out in traffic instead of
in the brick and concrete school building. Right.)

So the question: What happened to this Global Warming thingy?
They had snow in Texas for pete's sake.
Have you seen the Mid-Western states lately?
Not to mention what's been happening in Europe in the last couple of months.
I'd actually like to have a little global warming about now.
How 'bout you?

SNOW

It's been snowing here in North and Central Alabama.
School let out at lunchtime yesterday and today, it's closed.
Yesterday it took David two hours to get home from
across town because of road closings. So I took some
photos of it. You'll notice how little is actually on
the ground. SISSY'S!

Lil'Bit

We have had a new member of the family since Ross came to live with us back
in November. She's fit in with the rest of the group... some how.
Her name is Lil'Bit.
Actually, Ross named her Liberty, but the name didn't stick.
He soon after started calling her Lil'Bit and we told him a story
about himself...
The story goes like this:
When I was pregnant with Ross, Grandma and Grandpa Godfrey came to be with us
for the birth. Grandma called him Lil'Bit.
Mainly because back then, we didn't know whether we were being blessed
with a she or a he. I still have a hand written note from Grandma telling
David(who was at a class on campus at NAU) that she had taken me to the
hospital to have Lil'Bit and to come as soon as he possibly could.
Ross must have liked that story, because he's been calling his cat that
ever since.
Actually, she's just like him. Loud, feisty, messy and cute.
