Like many others across the Midwest, we received several inches of snow on top of a substantial layer of ice. Though it is a beautiful sight in some areas, it also wreaked havoc with the trees. We have already lost many large limbs of many treas across the monastery campus. Even the broken trees could not take away from the beauty of the snow cover grounds and buildings. I hope wherever you are you are safe and can also take the time to enjoy the beauty.

Are you in a place that received this winter storm? How did it affect you?
