gray morning

CARRIE: It is a gray day in Kansas City, making the idea of staying in bed very appealing. These images from Provincijalka's photostream on flickr make the dreary winter days look beautiful.

snow season

MORGAN: Well, so far, 2010 has been a snowy one! Kansas City has gotten tons of snow and usually I am hating it, but this year I have really taken in how beautiful the snow is. I've even had fun driving around in it-you never know what is going to happen and you just have to roll with it, so I'm taking this as a lesson on how to approach the new year. Welcome 2010, I'm ready to roll with whatever you have in store.
