Snow in Kentucky

Weather forecasts told us the rain would freeze, that sleet and snow would fall, so in anticipation of being sidelined today, I went for a jog yesterday in what I thought was light rain.

Not for long. As I ran, the rain grew heavier and colder, it took on substance. It didn't hollow out so much as beef up. It meant business.

This was not January's fluffy stuff. This snow has clung and settled. It has hemmed me in — at least for the morning.

But afternoon is almost here.
