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!
