I'm as snug as a bug in a rug this morning as I watch the snow storm from my window. We had plans for today, but the weather announcements are strongly suggesting that unless we have an emergency, we should stay off the roads.

Across the road from us was 'THE Swamp' ... more of a wetland area than an actual swamp, but none-the-less we called it "The Swamp”. If that term was used we knew where everyone was referring to!
