As a foot of snow stood in my driveway Saturday afternoon the phone rang.  It was Mary, Pastor’s wife telling me we were cancelling service on Sunday; that I needed to call the TV stations so they could list it on their cancellation crawls. 

I looked out the window and saw a whiteout of snow.  Blizzard like conditions, 35 mph winds, blowing drifting snow a drift in front of my door 2 feet high. 

Global warming?  I think not; and even though this was a lot of snow, (I heard Columbus got 20 inches) the blizzard of 1978 comes to mind.  I was 12 years old then and I remember 6 foot drifts, people shoveling their roofs and going to school on Saturdays for a while.  Now, that was a blizzard.  Anyone remember it?  Here’s a photo to refresh your memory.  Still it’s a beautiful picture, a pristine blanket of white.
