    If we could just hope that the plows would break down! :lol:

    I'm just west of Knoxville on the Plateau. We have around 6 inches and my husband has 4 wheel drive. He took me to work then went back to the house. His work was canceled.

    Sadly, along the SC coast, we only have a slight dusting of snow. I was hoping for more, but am happy that, so far, the ice has left us alone!

    Having lived up north and now here in South---difficult to understand the craziness here.
    Me too, but I left the north for a reason--namely snow and a good man! We own a convenience store so my dh drove his big four wheel drive truck to the store and stayed all day--I couldn't do anything but sew and quilt!!!

    Actually, as a northerner, I'm jealous. We haven't gotten more than 2 inches at our house all winter. I want to be snowed in. Granted, it will take more than 3".... lol

    They were predicting snow overnight -- not a flake. Schools are already closed just at the prediction of snow. I stopped at Walmart after quilting UFO yesterday, picked up some white thread (gave one of my spools to someone who left their thread at home). My quilt guild stuff never leaves the car so I always have my supplies with me -- just in case. Also, had to pick up some food for my little ones, some cookies and snacks for mother. I always have a stash of chocolate -- just in case. Have four knitting projects to complete this month. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

    It is supposed to start snowing here this afternoon. Will go to class this morning, out by noon, stop by local joannes for hand quilting thread and let the snow snow me in for a few days..hopefully. I must say I really hate snow but if it's coming, snow me in!
