Our Lady of Guadalupe did not see her shadow

Looks like Our Lady of Guadalupe will not disappear under the snow, as previously expected, due to a winter storm that turned out to be more of a dud than a monster, at least here. The kids so could have gone to school today. Snow and sleet stopped a while ago. Now it's quite lovely out. Looks like it will be an early spring based on Our Lady's predictions.

Here are the girls making the requisite snow angels and going down the slide:




Here's a view of our sun porch, which is heating up right now so I can enjoy the snow from the warmth of the cozy house.
