Weather woes putting the squeeze on American churches

Yesterday I drove down to Pennsylvania for a meeting. There is so much more snow down south at the moment.

Bracing for big snow

By all reports we are going to spend most of the day tomorrow being buried in snow here in Southwestern Connecticut.  School is cancelled for the day, and most people who can are making plans to work from home.
