However, we are having a bit of weather today, and if that's not an excuse for the view outside my window I don't know what is. The mayor closed streets to non-essential traffic, which if my little street is to be believed, people are following with ... varying degrees of compliance. But I have my hot cocoa and my cinnamon raising bread to toast and no reason to go otside, so I'm good.

This all reminds me of one of my favorite old commercials, so I'll just drop that in as well.
Stay warm, little Shirelings.
