Snow?


One thing I've learned living in SC is that when a storm is predicted to hit here, well, it may or may not hit and it may be ice, sleet, frozen rain or snow or all of those. I get my hopes so high when they call for snow because I do miss the snows of West Virginia, however, I don't miss their frequency to the mountains.

We were going to get hit BIG according to the weather people....well, we didn't but a few minutes north of us did get it pretty big, 3-5 inches...we got all of the above mentioned...approximately 1 inch on our deck. But it's enough to freeze again and make it absolutely horrible out there tonight. We needed some things and I thought for sure it'd clear, but it didn't. So my wonderful hubby ventured out to the local BiLo grocer and was stopped 2 times by police officers telling him he needed to get home. That happens here, you know it's bad. We aren't equipped to deal with this type of weather. They don't have salt for the roads and very few plows. They usually keep the main roads, mostly interstates, cleared. Of course we wouldn't have these things, since snow/ice/, etc. only happens 1-2 times a year. In the pic if you look closely, you see the corner of our table on the deck and the chair.....this is it for what we received.

So in summary, we're in, have been in since yesterday evening. Spencer's getting alittle cabin fever, the dog is lovin' she gets to stay in all the time and the cat is like whatever! The fish are at the bottom of the pond keeping warm and Mike and I are doing whatever. I love the laziness, but then by tomorrow, I'll be ready to do something worthwhile! Keep safe, enjoy the....well whatever you got from this storm and eat some good comfort food!!!
