Brussels is traditionally in the
snow belt. We must have been
living right lately. While the
south Western portion of the
province was hard hit with "old
man winter" over the weekend,
with traffic stalled and driving
declared hazardous, we escaped
with only enough of the white
stuff on the ground to give us the
Christmas atmosphere. Let us
hope it stays that way until after
the holiday for if a winter blast
hits us it will disappoint many
who look forward to family
gatherings.
