Upcoming Cold for the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic

[StoneCloud]

Getting messy here too rain all day now a few inches of snow and coming down.

Crossing fingers the rest if winter will be smooth for you Darlene!

Horrible combo for the morning. Luckily I don't have to go anywhere tomorrow.

I'm ready for some repotting can't wait!!

I am pretty much over winter...but as I glance out a window...I remind myself my dormant trees NEED this cold winter. Giving my rational side...that we need winter. The hubs shovels a path...only once did my door freeze from the ice storm that we got. In which I put my back to the door and kicked behind me to loosen that hold of ice.

Me, too! My jeep has no heat! I think my toes were close to frostbite on the way home this morning. It snowed again last night, stayed in the twenties so not much melted, it is supposed to be 9, that's nine degrees, tonight. I am working midnights and it takes me two hours to drive to work. I looks like a scene from a mad max movie on the way, car carnage everywhere. People just don't know how to drive in the stuff down here, me either, but I manage. I am 51, and I don't think I have ever seen it snow twice here. Before this winter, I have only seen snow here maybe four times in my lifetime. Heck, I don't even have a heavy coat. Where's my burbon? Oh yeah, I am at work, no hope for antifreeze for 10 more hours.

It was in the teen last night. A little better tonight. Somewhere in the 20s. I haven't open the garage to look at my babies yet.
Frozen solid!!!

Thanks...overall...it's not medical issues. Just bumps in the road. So...we keep chugging along.

I'm used to it.
I drift just about every corner and curve.
All roads but the very main ones here are covered with ice all winter.
But like I said,I'm used to it.

Do people still run out with pots to catch the snow down there? My dad lived in Mobile during WWII and said that they used to catch the snow in pans and pour maple syrup on it for treats.

Yes, there are some in the country who still do that. When I was young we used to get it and make slushlies out of it, either with Koolaid or milk and vanilla. I all seems silly now, but for Mobile, snow is a big deal.
