An Extremely Wintry Afternoon in the Ashleyverse

Well, folks, it's a nasty, snowy, wintry afternoon in the Ashleyverse. On days like today, I wish I was somewhere almost perpetually warm and sunny, like California or Texas. Oh, well, I reckon I'll more than likely end up in one of those two places before it's all said and done, so I just need to live in the moment and try to enjoy the natural beauty of Illinois winters. LOL! After all, it could be a lot worse.
