Christmas Reminiscence

I'm not convinced that things are going to clear up by this afternoon. The storm is raging. High winds are piling up snowdrifts and snuffing out pilot lights. Most of the fireplaces on the south side of the building refuse to light. Strathcona Parkway is shut down, the plows simply cannot keep up with the blowing, drifting snow. Hawk chair is the only chair operating, and apparently of that, only a few runs are open. It's batton down the hatches time, survival mode.
