First, answering the question:  

"What is GIS?"

From the USGS.Gov website

And

GIS Lounge:

"This is probably the most asked question posed to those in the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) field and is probably the hardest to answer in a succinct and clear manner. 

GIS is a technological field that incorporates geographical features with tabular data in order to map, analyze, and assess real-world problems."

Wishing everyone a blessed Christmas - It is a white one in Ohio!

Wishing everyone a healthy, safe, and happy Christmas 2020!  

If you live anywhere in Ohio, you just might be seeing snow falling this Christmas!  Where I am it started snowing yesterday and continues today.  The wind is picking up and that will make for snow drifts.  

This is the time of year we can reflect on the days that have gone by during a year that is now rapidly closing.  They are remarkable in so many ways for most of us.  

Quite sadly, of course, because of dealing with COVID-19 since March, 2020, the human toll taken on individuals, our country, and indeed the entire world, simply cannot be calculated.  Thankfully, new help giving us greater hope is happening - the Covid-19 vaccine - and it can't come soon enough.  Unfortunately, it is coming too late for those who have lost their battle with this virus, and possibly those who are still fighting their way through it. Prayers continue for all who have been personally affected by this virus. 

Despite everything negative that has happened in 2020, today is still Christmas.  It only comes once a year for those who celebrate it.  Holding tight to the true meaning of this day allows us to go forward with a renewed strength and resolve.
