Our first winter storm arrived this morning with a vengeance.  When the snow began to fall it fell hard making roads treacherous.  School children were cheering this morning as local schools and Universities closed along with businesses and Government offices.  It truly was a beautiful sight -it always brings out the spirit of the Holiday Season!   (I took this photo as I was driving by Stephen King's house using my cell phone so the quality isn't great, but the local NBC news affiliate used it on the nightly news, so I was excited!)
