Remember those days when you came in the house as a kid and your mittens were soaking wet from playing out in the snow, building snowmen and igloos with your moms bread pans? Today was one of those days. Build a snowman, it's good for your health.  Picture below: freezing rain on the window when I woke up this morning, almost pleasant until I saw that my car was also covered in ice. I had a great weekend with Hannah and made it safely home to Iowa City this morning, so all is well.
