Today in the Northeast corner of Louisiana, we expect up to seven inches of the real thing. Early this morning, I amused myself with a dusting of artificial snow of the shredded tissue variety. I had somehow missed a piece of tissue in a pocket before loading the washer.

Suddenly, my blue indoor-outdoor carpet held a dusting of artificial snow! Unlike real snow, it would not melt; I used my vacuum for snow removal. Only the blood of Christ will suffice in sin removal.
