Saturday, Dec 19, we woke to a continuing storm with snow coming down all through the day. It was beautiful! It brought everything to a stop however, with schools and churches and other community holiday events forced to cancel as roads became inpassable and residents were snowed in. Our Mission President and his wife had been planning to come to Bedford Saturday to speak at a Branch Christmas Fireside and to be with us at Church the following morning. They ended up snowed in at their hotel in Salem. Our Church activities and meetings were all canceled for the weekend. The church parking lot and driveway was blanketed in snow.

This is a view to the north from our front porch Saturday morning!
