Merry Christmas! (2012)

Good morning, everyone, and Merry Christmas to everyone! It's 6:24am. I hope all of you are enjoying this Christmas morning with all of your loved ones and are experiencing the joy of the holiday season. I love this time of year. Well, it's a cloudy Christmas morning with temps in the upper 20s, and today will be in the mid 30s with some snow flurries or showers. Not a white Christmas like some of us were hoping for, I bet, but it'll do. The important thing is just to remember the joy of the season and be thankful to have your loved ones, and your gifts, near to you. I'm monitoring most of the Zones this morning, which I should be finished with around 9 or 10am (I'm going back to sleep for a little while around 7:15 or so), and then I'll come back for another time period this evening. My first Zone of the day will be none other than Zone 1, as it covers the far most northwestern portion of Chicago. I'm going from north to south today. Well, here's crime for portions of today, and again, a very, very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and yours!
