A bad start for Christmas

I had my misgivings about going out tonight but relented with regard to attending the 5:30 PM Christmas Eve service, originally to be Lessons and Carols but changed to Holy Communion when Midnight Mass was canceled due to snow. We didn't get very far, maybe 30 meters down the road, at which point it became so slick one couldn't even stand on it -- far too dangerous for driving.

Given the forecast ahead (rain+snow, snow, rain) it's clear we won't be able to get to church tomorrow, either. I hope somebody in addition to the McGraths makes it...
