Still freezing
Need to venture out and hope my car starts
Pondering what story to use for this...talk about open ended and so many options.

Take care all and have a good one!

I hope "seeing friends" is on your list too - tomorrow night at 7pm is my team's (work) Christmas dinner at PF Chang's. Knight can't make it due to work, so if I don't get to see you TONIGHT you may be dragged by your ears out to Chang's tomorrow! ;)

I'm awake and dressed, which is more than I can say for this same time yesterday, LOL. I've even got lunch packed so that I won't have to go back out into this weather later - w00t! And I reheated my SF Cinnamon Dolce Latte that I brought yesterday evening (my morning is usually spoken for, between sleeping and GR time) so I'm all ready to head out to work in a few minutes... if I leave here by 8:30 I should have NO problem getting to the office by 9:00, since it is usually not more than a 15 minute drive.

Also, happy birthday desert_rose!

I could understand if it were canned goods, dried stuff, or anything that would keep if power went out/they were snowed in. I know it's just a dusting, but I can appreciate them being prepared. Bread and milk though?

They're just weird. :)

Good Morning! I'm here! I'm alive!

I've got today, tomorrow, and Friday off from work because I worked all this past weekend. Next week is Pie Pastry Platter Hell Week, and I'm really, really hoping I don't get roped into the production line. They're fiddly and full of details and make me squirm :shudder:

I need to do my Christmas shopping. Yes. I haven't bought one blessed item. I'm hoping Amazon will ship by early next week so I don't have to go out into the middle of this rainstorm we're currently having.

Heh, I've edited my post twice since posting it!

Smell the coffee... is that working???

I think it's because Delaware/Maryland/Virginia are just south enough and closer to the ocean so that snow either shouldn't arrive or, if it does, it melts the minute it hits the ground. So it's natural that nobody would be prepared for the onslaught of ice or snow actually sticking.

My husband lived in Oklahoma for 5 years before moving back up this way. While he was down there, he experienced a few terrifying ice storms -- terrifying because, of course, they're not prepared for ANY kind of weather like that, people don't know how to drive in that sort of weather, and everything became a huge mess :shudder:

Hi Charlie!

Delaware's yearly snowfall is somewhere in the range of Buffalo's monthly Winter snowfall, which we thought was hilarious. What we didn't know is that the rest all comes down in the form of rain, which sucks. This is going to be our second Winter in this area, and last year was super rainy. We're hoping for a little more snow, even if it means dealing with poor drivers. :)

I'd imagine most places in the south get kind of crazy with even the smallest amount of snow, and super crazy with any amount of ice.

You make perfect sense. Happy stories are more difficult to write than sad ones because, I think, "happy" is one of those emotions that doesn't naturally pull in readers. For instance, there's nothing sensational or tragic about "happy"...you know what I mean?

We got some freezing rain/sleet and have snow coming down now. Not all that thick, but it's still coming. Word is that driving conditions are going to be less-than-ideal this morning and only be worse this afternoon (you know, when the schools are letting out). Our schools are open, many surrounding counties are not.

My attitude about school is, if it's open, you go. My husband, however, thinks that since the traffic is likely to be dicey and school is winding down for the break anyway, that we need to keep our daughter home from school. Remembering past incidents where school was in session and then even with early release kids were stuck on buses for many hours before getting home, I reluctantly agreed and we are keeping her home from school and he is working from home today.

Which of course means that most likely all the dire predictions about more ice and snow won't happen. Heh.

Trying to figure out what my favorite story is. I asked my husband yesterday evening what story I tell so much that he's sick of hearing it, but he couldn't think of any (the question is, is he being sweet or is he just not paying attention when I talk)? ;) So, I'll be perusing my journal and seeing if anything jogs my memory reading past entries and going from there.
