Waiting Out the Blizzard


Silly Weather!

The Weather continues to hold us in Xenia, Ohio. Even as Canadians, we can see that this storm system is a doozy. There are places in and around the region that are reporting up to 15 inches of snow! With more to come! Wow! Nearly everything is shut down and/or canceled. Airplanes are running off the runways in Milwaukee and Columbus! Dayton International has canceled over 40 flights! Cincinnati International is now reporting that they are CLOSED.

Bother!

We have still managed to come up with a few adventures today... and you can look forward to another update later this evening. For those of you who are interested in seeing what we are seeing, you can check out the following links:

Be forewarned, however, it happens to be almost nothing but white!

I hope the airport where the airplane s are at has snow clearing equipment. Should I start driving our John Deere to Ohio?

Well it looks like the cold weather finally caught up to you all! I was noticing a pattern that after you left one place it would get cold. I hope you are not delayed much longer in Ohio, but it seems like the trip has been a great success. You are in our prayers!

Thanks so much for those prayers Angela! There have been many times during this trip that we have known them and felt them! God has been so good to us, and the evidence of His hand in this trip has shown itself many times!

We are grateful that He has allowed us the privilege of building a very unique set of memories together, and we can't wait to share them with everyone back home!

I hope that you realize that we never intentionally meant to bring along a blast of cold air with us. Even so, your observation does appear to be correct!

Perhaps we can look at this snow and cold as a practice run for what we know is waiting for us in Steinbach. With all of the warmth that we were experiencing on this trip, we probably went a bit "soft." May spring come soon!

(Walter says that he has hardly noticed anything snowy or cold with his thick coat and all!)

Although the trip is now very nearly completed, we still have a considerable amount of work and flying time ahead of us. Home still feels like it is a long, long, long way away!

It is so good to know that the prayers of you, your family, and so many people continue to be with us as we enter the "home stretch!"

Remember that you are also in ours!
