So we’re all sitting here, watching the news and waiting to see if the inevitable will happen…snow.
Currently the forecast is calling for maybe an inch to 3 inches of snow and for our area, snow is a pretty big event and novelty, since it’s not the norm, at any time, to expect snow.
The downside too, is the fact that if we do get snow tonight, tomorrow’s drive for many will be both ugly and difficult, due to ice on the overpasses and we live in an environment, that since snow isn’t the norm, many aren’t prepared for the freeze that comes with it.
Unlike homes in the northern areas, homes here weren’t designed for cold weather, so naturally the concern about pipes bursting is due to not being insulated or needing to be insulated from cold weather, icy patches on overpasses and driver’s not accustomed to driving in freezing/snowy situations.
Many of the schools have closed down and for those who can or are able to stay home or work from home, that is the alternative.
For us, snow will be a novelty, IF, it happens, though right now, it’s more of a cold chill and dark skies. So who knows what will happen after midnight?? Maybe we will get some snow….even if it’s just an inch.

It’s amazing how 18 inches of snow in the midwest doesn’t really affect too many people there but when you get down south where they aren’t really equipped or used to deal with even a few inches of snow how different things can be. A few inches of ice turns the roads, sidewalks and highways into an ice rink that can’t be navigated. Hopefully people take the advice of the meterologists and stay home. Risking yours or someone elses life for something that can wait till tomorrow is not worth it at all.

Really enjoy your blog and appreciate you following me too! lol; Sadly we didn’t get snow per se but farther north they did, but it was nice though having hubby home for the day…and kids got to have a quick weather lesson to understand why we didn’t get snow due to conditions not being just right.

We just saw a smattering of snow here in our area, and you would have thought it was a blizzard, the way folks reacted. I thought that was odd,until we went to visit Ireland last week, and they also had had a smattering – or “light dusting” as they called it – of snow on their only mountains that reach a little over 3400 ft. high.
It was a rare sight for them, and they talked about it all week. It was a gentle, “can you believe it? there’s snow on the mountains” dialogue that went on all week on the tour bus. I got a kick out of it. Your snow picture is beautiful. …Marsha
