The winter solstice is next Wednesday and next weekend looks like the ground is going to be white down in the good old Buckeye state. So far we haven't had all that much snow so it's too soon to tell if it's going to be a white Christmas, but the good news is that I'm already ready as I've had out the winter clothes, jackets, blankets, and other gear for about a month or so now. Not a huge fan of snow, but I always hope that we get some for Christmas.
