Thanks, Snippy. I must have missed the original post of this largely overlooked battle. I have always thought it a bit strange that shortly after Bastogne the 101st ended up in Alsace. I think that was dramatized as the "last patrol" or something like that in the Band of Brothers series. Now I know why they were sent there!

Happy New Year to all in the Foxhole!

We had a strange holiday season here. Back to back major snowstorms a week apart - the first time that's happened here in recorded meteorological history. The first dropped two feet and the second about eight more inches. I went to the Bronco game New Years Eve and somehow they had dug out the stands - no snow in the seats. Then the news that Darrent Williams was murdered later that night. Weird.

It's not like you to miss a post. Who knows what you were doing three years ago. LOL.

We've been hearing about your bad weather, and then the football player. Strange stuff. Hope it all clears up soon.
