One of my college roommates _younger than me_ got caught in that '67 snow and had to spend the night at her highschool. Not as much fun as she expected it to be. She had great stories to tell of people helping each other and making the best of the situation. Her father was trying to drive home and got as far as a farmhouse out in the country which was also a day-care center. He helped with the babies and toddlers for 2 days. The owner was grateful for his help and he was grateful to leave!

Did errands today, so went and got groceries also. Not that I can't go out; but who wants to, when we can stay home where it is warm and cozy in some comfy sweatpants.

We are stocked up and ready to hole up. We are only supposed to get 6" of snow, but wind chills are going to be brutal; will probably close schools due to wind chill factor. Also have puppy pads for little dogs and am feeding 5 feral cats. What a great time to sew.

I second this vote!!!!!!

Down here in New Mexico it is cold and snowy..it's the coldest I've been since we moved here...7 degrees this morning and DH has to work outside all day..

Expecting lots of snow here near Detroit too. Oh, joy! It was kinda fun when my kids were little, but now I just hate driving in it!!! :thumbdown: :thumbdown: Maybe I'll just hitch a ride to work with DH in his 4WD tomorrow. :roll:

Stay in and stay warm.

OK folks, it is -17 windchill here now with snow and blowing snow all over the place. We don't have a whiteout yet.
I look outside more than normal to see if any animals need rescuing. The wind blew something into the side of the van last night.
I am so glad I'm retired and don't have to go to work.

I will be think and praying for all you ladies in this bad weather. I an on the coast in Texas and we don't experience near what you all do. We are having record low temps for the rest of the week with possibility of snow. So all of you please stay warm and safe.

One thing I love about my job...SNOW DAYS! I work at a nearby high school and today all the schools in our area are closed because of the weather! Wouldn't be surprised if we are tomorrow also.
I'm working on organizing a sewing/scrapbooking room so this gives me a full day to do that! No hubby around! Poor guy...his work never closes!

I certainly can't blame you! I would enjoy it too! Stay safe and warm and enjoy your time at home. Happy sewing!
