Christmas Eve was a real adventure in the upper Ohio valley. Temperatures dropped drastically over the course of the afternoon. At 4 p.m., it was about 41 degrees and raining. Went to church for the two services (I do music, so I had to be at both). By the time the second service ended at 8 p.m., it was 28 degrees and falling, the rain had turned to sleet and the roads were starting to freeze. We crept home on the winding, hilly country roads, by which time the sleet had become snow. We ended up with 5 to 6 inches of snow and ice to shovel off the driveway Christmas Day. Some of the folks from church reported difficulty getting up their driveways Thursday night. Fortunately, and somewhat surprisingly, we never lost power.
