It's the drifts that concern me. Dh plows - we definitely need the income, but I will be worrying tomorrow afternoon. Plowing through drifts is super hard on the truck and takes so much extra time. It's really blowing here now. Kind of exciting though - we clean a bank at night and were told that they will be closed tomorrow - so we get a day off! Yay. :)

Just heard on the news that I-44 from springfield mo. west to Oklahoma line is closed becuase of the snow. I'm sure it would be closed in Oklahoma too. What a storm. Hope all stay inside and warm too. Use those quilts !!!!!

My son is in Rolla. He's there for work snowed in a hotel room some where.. :-(

I hope this doesn't linger any longer than it says it is going to.

Very true on using the quilts and staying safe.

Yes, I-44 is closed from Tulsa to the MO. state line. We are still under a blizzard warning here.

We're in central Arkansas. We had thunderstorms most of the morning and very heavy down pour into early afternoon. Supposed to be in the teens tonight. Northern part of state got icy stuff. Yesterday was in the upper 60's. I've always been told if you don't like the weather in Arkansas just give it an hour it will change..lol

Hope every one snowed and iced in stays warm and safe.
