As they say in Ohio, "if you don't like the weather, wait ten minutes and it will change."  After 3 days of steady rain, this is the winter wonderland I woke up to.  Very lovely when you don't have to be out in it but I had my Modern China class this morning.
On a more serious note, my heart and prayers go out to those effected by the horrible earthquake today in Japan.  The resulting tsunami had already reached Hawaii by 8am and was headed towards California.  Makes me feel silly for complaining about our weather and blessed to be living in a land-locked state (for once).
