When it snows in the South or even if there is only the possibility of snow or ice, residents flock to the grocery stores. I laugh when they do this since they are purchasing canned soups and other items that must be heated and I wonder how they intend to do this is the power goes out.
It began snowing today around 4 P.M. Now it is about 8:30 and we have nearly 4 inches. Already transformers are blowing up around town which I assume is due to limbs falling from the weight of the snow onto the power lines. I've lived in the area most all of my life and snow is a really big deal. I have no idea how people in cities that get it regularly react to the possibility of snow or if they just take it in stride but here, well every thing just tends to shut down and planned events are cancelled. Our world becomes quiet, still and muffled.
My cats are tucked in the garage wondering what in the world that white stuff is out there in the yard and I imagine they would like to be inside the house but that isn't going to happen. I must remember to close the door before I have another Opossum wander in as I did the other night. He gave me quite a scare when he tried to come in the house but we soon came to an understanding and he went on his way without much fussing.
I hope the snow last through the night. I'd love to get pictures of the area especially our two beautiful 1800 homes.
