MORE SNOW, PLEASE

The snowstorm was a good thing for Hampton Roads! Every night I watch the television news. For three nights I did not hear of any killings, robberies or other acts of violence.

Everyone was so occupied with the excitement of the storm coming and preparing for the worst, it was like a breath of Christmas in the air!

It was as if the world had come together for a few days of kindness, love and helping hands. If this is what a snowstorm can do for our city, ``Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.''
