It absolutely amazed me that while Southern Indiana was hit with almost 10 inches of snow, northern Indiana pretty much had nothing. Even Chicago was left unscathed by the winter storm, and Cal and Meg were able to continue their lives as normal. Cal spent his time the last few days working. He had taken a lot of time off over Christmas and had some catching up to do with the start of busy season upon him. Maggie had also switched jobs and had to travel north of the city for the new position. I was extremely happy to hear that her training had gone well and that there was no ice or snow to drive through.
Meg spent her Monday in Syracuse with Grandma and Grandpa. She gave them their Christmas gifts which they loved, a Willie Nelson book for Grandpa with circus peanuts and jewelry that Meg made for Grandma. While she was there, she also got her haircut from Amanda and had dinner with Kyle, Nancy and Millie before she returned to Illinois. She called me on the way home to let me know that there was some ice in Gary which she didn’t like but it was nothing that she couldn’t handle. Thankfully, she made it home without incident, and my children in Chicago felt fortunate that the winter storm had decided to stay south of them.
Indiana wasn't the only place that Meg made it to this week. She got to spend Tuesday at Midway as well. Nick was on lay over there and they had time to get lunch and take a tour of his plane. Meg had never seen it before and was glad to finally do so. When she texted me the pictures, I was amazed at not only his plane, but also at how little snow they had in Chicago. It was amazing what a difference the weather was just a few hours north of Indianapolis. Maybe this is the last of the bad weather for the MIdwest, and that soon everywhere will be clear. That might just wishful thinking on my part, but hopefully not.
