I am looking forward to my first real snow storm. Granted it has snowed here a couple of times but we did not get a lot or I had to shovel the driveway to take my hubby to the hospital. I am crossing my fingers that nothing else will happen to him and I can just enjoy the snow coming down and sewing. I am so far behind already. My husband keeps asking me when I am going to start quilting again, he knows I feel better when I can just sit down at my sewing machine and just sew the cares away.

Here near Chattanooga we've had 8 inches of the white stuff and the back roads where I live are solid ice. I Was supposed to fly to Florida to visit my daughter today but all flights cancelled. I guess I'll just have to stay here and quilt all week. Not so bad.

This is my first post. We're expecting lots and lots of snow tomorrow here in New England. Probably won't be able to get to work. Yay! Can spend the whole day quilting. YAY! Seems like lots of you feel the same excitement when you're cooped up.

Didn't brave Walmart, but spent a lot of the day sewing...got a lot done, too. It was great. Today looks to be a good day, too.

Have to laugh when I hear a couple inches of snow has everything shut down in some areas. In Wisconsin we have all kinds of snowstorms, some light and some keep you in the house for days. If work and school are cancelled, it is really bad and we called such a day a FOUND DAY. we found out there was nothing scheduled so we could find something special to do and it was usually a day of playing games with the children and reading, sewing, baking and watching the snow pile up. We haven't had any FOUND days so far this year. But it is only the beginning of winter, it'll come.

I grew up in the Dakotas, lived in mid New England (for 10 years), and am snowed in in Atlanta (have lived here 40+ years)! After 7" of snow (a record for this area) we now have over an inch of ice from freezing mist/drizzle and temps not expected to be above freezing until Sat. Good catch up time so I can do projects when everything gets back to normal!

Here is S.C. we so rarely even see snow much less have 3 inches, so like you we get snowed in....It's not so much the level of snow, but our inability to safely navigate the roads. But here in West Columbia, its business as usual.

Me too granny! I've been trying to call their office this morning and don't get an answer even from the answering service! I guess
they are snowed in too.
