Winter White-Out

I've heardof a blackout before... and I've used whiteout to correct a few mistakes (when it was still allowed in schools)... but a winter whitout is a new concept that has recently been introduced to me. Yesterday (and well into the wee morning hours) we received 12-15 inches of snow! The university even cancelled class... which hasn't happened since 1995.

What a clever name, "whiteout". I find this so amusing that it makes me chuckle a little to myself. I think it is because I'm so ecstatic to look out my window and see everything completely covered with a white blanket. Above is a photo that I took this morning.. gosh I love winter!
