Snow
“God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.
For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.
He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know His work.”

EMERGENCY officials believe everyone stranded on a snow-swept highway in Canada has been rescued.
Ontario Community Safety Minister Jim Bradley says 237 people had been rescued by late Tuesday afternoon local time from their vehicles on a highway near Sarnia, Ontario, about 104km northeast of Detroit. Others were taken to safety by farmers and snowmobilers helping the effort, though it's not clear how many.
Mr Bradley says he had no reports of deaths or injuries among the stranded. He says police are sweeping the highway again just to be safe.
The storm that had plagued the central US for days plodded eastward today with knifing winds, blowing snow and temperatures below freezing.
