We are in a Snow Emergency starting at 9:00 PM tonight. I am assuming we all know what to do now so we won't get hauled away. We are on the opposite side of a snow plow route and will move our van around 5:00 AM tomorrow.
It is here and we are staying safe. Edie
PS - You stay safe also, ok?

I guess when we all wake up, a bunch of us r going to be miserable. It has not started doing anything here ( close to Spfd, Mo) yet but its drizzling lightly. Have extra clothes/ blanket packed in truck in case I can't get home from work & have to stay alnight. DH is a lineman for same company so he will be to busy to help me if I get in trouble. They r saying Blizzard conditions here too :( Spring please come soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have had rain off and on starting about 10:30 this morning to fall on top of the snow that hasn't melted from the last fall. But the temperature is falling and I just looked out and there is a glaze on everything. It is really shiny out! Luckily, I am planning to stay in! I am hoping this turns into snow, I don't care how much. Ice is too dangerous for both people and the power lines!

WE are supposed to get 1 to 3" in New Mexico, and I am so excited. We have had to rain, only a dusting of snow, and it is so dry here I can't stand it. So I hope we get a foot. My DH doesn't agree, but I want to sit and watch the snow fall as I quilt tomorrow. Don't want to watch the dust blow. But for those who will get to much.....becareful out there.

The freezing rain isn't supposed to hit us til tomorrow afternoon, but we are on the edge so maybe it won't be too bad. My Dad's house is just 9 doors away, but is a different city and different power grid. So far we have never both lost power.
