First, a tribute to those who are trying to work as the snow piles up. But for many, though, it's been a day at home. Reports have come in of cookies baking, chili in Crock-Pots and books being read by people curled up under warm throws.

We asked staff and friends to send us photos if they ventured out — some stayed in and took their photos; others didn't venture far, except for the intrepid Robert W. Duffy. To share your pictures, email to korandod@umsl.edu.
