It Is Really Here

When weather forecasters predict snow and ice in The South, two things happen. People either scoff loudly and say things like, "well, I'll believe it when I see it" or they buy bread and milk. I am always afraid to hope. Scared to dream, petrified of the disappointment that we will have an eighth of an inch of nothing.

But yesterday it began snowing in earnest, businesses began closing early, Lipstick City started slowing down. We haven't had a snow like this since January of 2003 (which I remember vividly because I found out I was pregnant with JBB about two weeks later).

You know that saying, "and the ground was covered with a blanket of snow"? Well...
we have more of a mattress and boxed springs.

I hope y'all have a wonderful Saturday. We are off to put footprints in our yard, drag out the sled, and try for a snowman!

When it snows in the part of the South I used to live, where road maintenance budgets are small, it was every driver for himself/herself.

Stay safe and enjoy the snowball fights.

It's so fun to see all the people who live where it snows, it never snows in Florida!
