We were in the mountains of NC yesterday and the snow was blowing and the wind howling, let me tell you. No snow at home but I hear that is changing tomorrow. Snow is ok, ice isn't. Be safe everyone.

I was informed by my wife that I needed to run to the store and pick up my sons prescriptions at the Pharmacy. :shock: I overheard my wife talking to Sue Ellen (the Pharmacist) and she said the store was a mad house and she liked to never found a parking spot. I asked her if she drove her new Porsche to work and she said it loves the snow! :lol: She was up north during Christmas in it and had to drive it home in the snow.
Like a dummy I am going out in my Hot Rod so if it starts snowing it will make an interesting drive home!

I'm here in chilly Sw Iowa and its been snowing awhile- supposed to get 5 inches today and maybe 5 inches Monday, and flurries Tuesday. I hit the grocery store, the quilt shop and the pet store. I won't need to go out for awhile!

well I've spent the afternoon prepping for the storm.....I'm all caught up on sleep! No storm gets in the way of my Sunday afternoon nap lol! It is cold here. Dh just got a call from his boss to call in the morning and see if they are working or not. Will depend on the roads. I'm making a roast for soup later on and the porch is full of wood and the woodstove is cranked up full force. My treadle stands ready.....back in 2002 (I think) we had a major ice storm here. It was beautiful but MANY went without power for weeks afterward. Ours was only out a day but I had a baby to keep warm with no wood and a very inefficient fireplace. Now I'm ready...wood and wood heat so no worries if power goes out and oil lamps for light.
