I hope the snow is on it's way

On Sunday afternoon, some friends and I are taking the Jr. high and Sr. high students in a multi-car convoy to Paoli Peaks, Indiana for some midwest skiing. As a guy who loves to snow ski and used to go for winter and spring breaks to Rockies back in high school and the White Mountains of NH back east, Paoli Peaks is little smaller. But I won't complain, it's still skiing.

More and more of the students keep calling, saying they're going, which is super. I just hope we have snow waiting for us when we get there. About 6 weeks ago, the weather was absolutely freezing cold, very very cold. We had snow on the ground, lots of super chilly days. But since, and even today, it's not really all that cold, especially for Illinois in January... my homestate farther south received snow today when it just rained here. Anyways, I just hope the weather gives all these teenagers, and myself, a blissful weekend with lots of snow. Since they don't have school on Monday, we're skiing all night on lit-up slopes, most of the day Monday, and then driving the 3 hours back to Carbondale. It's always a lot of fun!

I hope the snow is on it's way
