Photo Of The Day: Lake Effect Snow at ND!

Was just sent this photo of the "lake effect" snow we're receiving this evening at the University of Notre Dame du Lac!

Photo was taken by my great friend and Holy Cross Priest -- Fr. Ralph Haag, C.S.C. -- who also serves as the Rector at St. Ed's Hall.

BEAUTIFUL!
