This is the snowiest winter I can remember in Northern Kentucky.  Although we haven’t had any massive snow storms this year, we’ve had a series of smaller snows ranging from 2-6” since early December that have kept us blanketed almost the entire time, a rare event in this part of the country.

A few days after we returned, so did Jabba.  But then she disappeared again, this time for good.
