The view from the Idea Center

There are snowstorms in the Northeast and snowstorms in the West, but here in Cleveland, it’s just gray skies and a wintry mix of rain and snow today.

My oldest brother was making a snowman with his kids over the Thanksgiving holiday in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Around here, the sunshine and mild temperatures had two of my other brothers talking about playing a round of golf.

I know I’m supposed to root against snow, but I welcome it at this time of year. When it sticks, it makes the landscape pretty, and it puts me in a holiday mood.

There’s no significant snow in the forecast this week, but there’s another way to get into the spirit of the season: music.

Take a break from your workday at 12 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 4, and join us at the Idea Center for a free performance of carols and other songs by the Baldwin Wallace University Men’s Chorus. It’s a tradition WCLV Classical 104.9 started in 2013.

Maybe “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!” will be in the chorus’ lineup. Mother Nature’s operations in Northeast Ohio could use the hint.  

See you bright and early on the radio tomorrow morning,
Amy Eddings
