Yes, Winter Has Come

To parts of the U.S., at least. The Weather Channel yesterday wrote,

The first full week of meteorological winter is here, living up to its name.

I was looking to see what the weather was like because Kaitlin, Torben, and the pups were driving home from seeing Torben’s family in Ann Arbor, MI. They were trying to avoid being stranded by a snow storm.

It turned out fine. Yesterday afternoon I received an email with the subject line,

Getting closer!

With this picture attached.

They were home a couple of hours later.

I wasn’t worried, but I was watching. And happy when they were safely home.

    So thankful they made it home safely and not stranded in a snow storm. You sound much like me..I worry about my kiddos who are on the road with their jobs each day. I do a lot of praying for their safety.

  3. Glad they are home safe and sound. It’s 3F here this morning. Brrr!

  4. I think today they would needed to worry as it looks like bad weather in the area. But, no need to worry, they are home!

    We got so lucky driving back!!! The snow is beautiful when sitting at home looking out the windows!

    I love those state “Welcome” signs! Yes, I always whisper a little prayer when any of my loved ones is on the road.

    I don’t think parents ever stop being concerned about their “children” though they may not worry as much as they used to. BTW, regarding my comment yesterday, I did some research and found to my amazement that there are THREE different starting dates for winter, depending on Astronomical, Meteorological, or Solar (Celtic) seasons. I should never have tried to correct a physicist! ):^(

    I love texting, just for things like this. when Dan and Michelle come, they text Leaving now and I know when to look for them and pray for them on the interstate with all the crazy tourist here. and when they leave I get the text, home safe… what a relief

  12. So glad to hear that they had a safe ride home.
