We're supposed to get 6-12 inches tonight/ tomorrow.


No we don't, so when it happens it's a BIG deal! The news coverage has been on all day, everything is closing, etc...It was hard for me as a gal from Chicago to comprehend why on earth everything shut down and a few flakes caused such a stir till I dealt with it here. People are not equipped to handle snow or ice here, nor do they have a clue how to drive in it. We don't even venture out unless it's absolutely necessary. Thankfully, the bad weather doesn't last long here, so it's actually quite nice to stay in.

So ya'll bear with me if I get alittle excited at my little bit of snow! :wink:


I'm from just south of Seattle and we never got much snow there too, so I know what you mean about everything shutting down... and I still get extremely excited about snow... especially when I get a snow day off, like today! :)

Well, I'm looking out at about 1/2 inch of snow this morning, but only 30 minutes away at my parents house they received over 2 inches. :roll: :lol:

still working on a weathernet system. there are several variables I can't get my arms around: changing jet stream direction (several times), changing ocean current and interoceanic riverbeds and their currents as well as finally being able to manipulate (as in move without destroying) certain cloud formations. of course that's the long-term plan. in the short-term, you could wait till it's all down, then doze it to dump trucks and have them bring it up here. but that might cost you a fortune, unless you had gubbamint friends. :)

let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.....

[music intro]
I'm dreaming of a white March&April
Just like the ones I can recall
Where the treetops glisten,
and children listen
For the school cancellations that come to bear...

I'm dreaming of a white March&April
With every Jude 2 post I write
May your days be merry and snowfilled
And may all your April's be white
[music outro]

it snowed some here in Chattanooga last night and to be honest, it is still kinda snowing now, but not very much.

For me, snow on a saturday is a waste!!!! It needs to snow during the week so school will be out!!

We got about a foot of snow!

We had to cancel church on Sunday since the parking lot was full of snow, and we went to visit *gasp* the First Assemblies of God church. :lol:
