we got clipped hard

The alberta clipper weather system is really giving it to us. Not only is it still absolutely frigid here in central Illinois, today we got what amounted to a small blizzard. We only got a few inches, but it was really blowing, and very cold. The black fox drum actually cancelled practice tonight because of the weather, something we rarely do.
I'm headed out to Steamboat Springs,Colorado saturday for a week of skiing, I hope the weather stays halfway decent for the drive out and back. While I'm out there, though, it can snow if it wants (fresh, real, powder! WOW!)
