I just can't believe there is so much snow just a little ways north of 
me.  I hope you all have power or a good alternative.  We had sleet here 
today but no accumulation.  It has snowed quite a bit here this winter, 
but we've only had dustings in the way of accumulation.  Last week, we 
got less than a quarter of an inch.  Just south of Chattanooga, they got 
over 4 inches.  We were just out of range by the skin of our teeth that 
time.
Everyone is saying this is the worst winter in many years. I keep 
thinking that it is probably just a 'normal' winter here.  We haven't 
had normal in so long, perhaps we have forgotten what normal is..
I suppose for those of you up in the Blizzard ridden North will have a 
different opinion, rightfully so.

Stay warm amigos!
