A Knight in Dragonland

“Snowmageddon.” Heh!  Leave it to Ms. McGee to come up with the perfectly compact and witty description of our “welcome to December” blizzard. Although Pekin certainly seemed to handle it a bit better than Peoria, it still brought it’s share of headaches (and backaches!) over here.

However, the snow did provide for great photo ops. PI, of course, provided some views out and about in Peoria here and here.  Eyebrows gave us some pictures of her snowbound backyard.  Emtronics and Scott Janz contributed some illustrative pictures and video of the incompetent effort to clear the P-town snow.  Scott also shared with us the tragic loss of his reindeer.  We grieve with you, Scott.

I decided to email one of the Knightly Manor’s “Snowmageddon” pictures to Andrew Sullivan at the Daily Dish. He runs a regular feature on his blog entitled “The View from Your Window.” I figured with the national attention our little snowstorm received, the picture might strike a chord.

It must have, because he posted it!

Of course the true kudos go to my lovely wife, M’lady. She’s the one who took the picture from our kitchen window.
