I mean really. Doesn't everyone know this already? Couldn't they give something a bit more dramatic or detailed? They apparently have to tell these things to the more simple folk where we live because they might not know, which seriously cracks me up! For one thing, most of those folks don't have the internet to receive the warning and many don't have TV either. So, pay attention just in case you're totally clueless in your world. When it's 73 degrees F one day and a Big Blow comes to turn you down to 28 degrees F in just a few hours, you should know it's one cold boogie man out there, right? I finally went out to cover the plants on the front porch, which I seldom have to do, but they'll come back in the spring anyway.They just looked very cold.
Find something or someone to snuggle up to and stay warm wherever you are....

So, do you have your hat and gloves at the ready? LOL That's too funny. The most significant amount of snow in Illinois is supposed to be Peoria. My daughter moved about 10 miles from there 3 years ago. She spent her entire life in the sunny south. They are supposed to get 2 feet of snow with blizzard conditions i.e. can't see to drive. It won't be pretty. She has been lulled into thinking winters up there aren't so bad. She's figuring it out.
Remember to wear your gloves if you go out. ;)
this storm system is only bringing us rain here in Atl. Thankfully! We had enough last go-around. But my poor family in the northeast, watch out, another foot of snow for them in Boston. They'll be moving south soon I'm sure!
Brrrrrrrr! This is probably not the time to comment about how mild our pacific northwest winter has been...
Stay warm and safe my friend!
I thought at least they'd cancel school today.
I dang sure don't wanna go to work...
I'm hanging back and letting all the idiot drivers get where they're going before i go in...;)
Lucky you have your glue gun to keep you warm.
We are the only school in the entire county that's still open...everyone else either didn't have school at all or was sent home early. POOH on that!
Stay warm, too, Ms. Snoots!
Hey - the cat won't even go outside! Mr. Snoots still went to the office (because he's a creature of habit), but I'm here at home, still in my robe, LOL! I woke up with a really sore throat (do I snore with my mouth open much? ummm yeah.)
At any rate, I'm not leaving the house & I might just stay in my robe all day. The horror!
Now, I'm going to go & prepare a pot roast for dinner. Mmmm... Cold weather comfort food. Did I mention I've gained back 4 pounds? Sometimes life just isn't fair...
This ol Connecticut gal is heading to the Caribbean in 16 sleeps. Cannot wait!
I've just finished reading your ENTIRE blog, and I LOVE it!
Thank goodness for snow days, or I never would have gotten to the end!
Looooooove it!
Stay warm!!
