Dayton, Ohio...


On an invitation from my brother, my wife and I flew up to visit his family for a few days. We caught the first snow of the season... flurries that night at 22 degrees and very light snow the next day. It was the first time my wife has seen snow and enough enjoyment seeing flakes falling from the sky... actually, with 20mph winds, much of it was blowing sideways.

We were hoping for a blanket of snow, but the best was Sunday morning on the way to the airport, there was about 2 inches of fresh snow on the ground. They call it powder when it's so cold the snow doesn't stick to it self. I ran my hand across the windshield to scoop up enough to make a snowball. My wife realized she was the target and turned away from me. I thew it but it was just like throwing flour and it fell to the ground.

It was a great trip as we had time to visit the aviation museum and see two 3D movies in their IMAX theater. We were there about 5 hours going through the museum to see real aircraft used by the military throughout the years!
