Sorry all you folks up the coast are dealing with the snow this weekend, we've had our fair share of the white stuff.

I do take perverse pleasure in listening to my FIL grip long-distance from Raleigh, NC. Didn't want to stay with us this winter "because only fools stay where it snows".... :plbb to him!!!

Be safe, friends.

You'll have to go WAAAAY south - it snowed here!!!! (Didn't stick though :( )

And I have friends in FL complaining about "frozen precipitation" and how they're not supposed to get any of that :lol:

I think you will survive just fine ;)
Well, you know that 10" of snow is a whole 'nother experience in the South than it is up North...:/
;) Yours will be melted months before ours is.

When it snowed a couple of inches here in February we parked well off the road to let my nephews and dog play in the snow. A couple of state troopers came and asked us to go somewhere with a parking lot as there were some 32 accidents on the 10 mile stretch of road from town to home.
I understand folks who measure snow by "several inches" or even feet" giggle at those of us who measure it by millimeters.... but keep in mind our natives have never driven on icy roads, our homes are not built for snow and lots of people dont' have heat (of any kind). The heaviest jacket I own is a windbreaker. Ours is one of the poorest counties in Florida with a huge homeless population. So yeah, a couple of inches is a very big deal to someone who has seen snow accumulate 3x in 38yrs. ;)

Well, until the snow plow comes along, I'm not going anywhere. I don't know how many inches of the white snot we got, but since my hubby didn't think I needed 4 wheel drive, I'm not moving until the roads get a bit cleared! My hubby isn't going to work, so he's talking about driving me both to the farm and to work today. Don't really like that idea. I don't have a clue as to what he'd do while I was working. It's not like it's near a mall where he can go and hang out. And, I can't imagine him spending that much time in TSC.

alot of your tax money goes to maintaining roads etc in snow

NC we don't spend alot on snow plows and slag trucks

we sure don't have alot of them at all....in PA a snow plow truck was on every other road, down here you wait a long time to see a snow plow lol
