The Confluence Village project is one of the developments around Columbus that I'm the most excited about. I love the idea of building a cool community around the new Crew Stadium and I genuinely can't wait to see how it all turns out. I have a sneaking suspicion that it's going to quickly become one of the most in-demand neighborhoods in town.

We really blew right past that "less than an inch" that was expected yesterday. We actually set a daily record at 2.8 inches,

. Snow is always part headache/part delight, but yesterday's was particularly pretty with giant flakes. It's never a completely bad thing when Columbus feels like a snow globe. ❄️❄️
