I've been getting pictures of bare shelves... but I had actually gone shopping earlier in the week.  We did run by Costco last night to pick up some paper towels and eggs.  As long as we don't loose power, we're good.  Now... why didn't we buy that generator again?

For all y'alls in Georgia. [emoji2]

They're already out of that in our area and telling people they will have to wait for the supply trucks to arrive later today.

They are predicting rain going into sleet and ending in snow here. Supposed to be between 4-6 inches of precipitation. One of the local weather folks is saying expect to be snowed in through Tuesday. As long as there isn't much ice our neighbor who owns a grading business will have the road cleared once the snow stops. If it turns out to be ice the road will stay frozen for a few days due to facing north and being in the shade. With that I need to cool down from my exercise, clean up and make a BEER run.

Our military base, all schools, and most businesses closed down for the day. It's dry as a bone right now, but very cold. We are supposed to get something come through about 11am central, and with the cold, that could freeze.

Our schools are releasing early.

Hope everyone stays safe and warm. 

 

Supposed to get some rain here in Florida tonight and tomorrow with the temps dropping with a low of 39° tomorrow. (That's cold for us)

 

[CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547]

Depending on which source I check, we're predicted to get 6 to 10 inches of snow.  And single digit temps Saturday and Sunday nights.  Then 63 degrees a week from today.  I wish mother nature would make up her mind.

I feel bad for our southern friends.  At least up here, most know how to deal with it.  Seven degrees here now, but sunny. Best piece of advice I can offer is, stay off the roads until the snow/ice is gone.  If you do need to go out, take a blanket, food (like pop tarts), and something to drink if case you get caught up in a traffic problem.  Good Luck.

Beside keeping you warm, it's also good to protect your modesty when nature calls and there are no restrooms for miles !

In 2014 was the last time Atlanta had winter weather and it took my husband 26 hours to get home.  The problem, he explained, was that people simply stopped on the roads and did not move.  If they would have gotten out of this way, he could have gotten home, but too many were afraid to move...so they simply stopped.  He is planning to leave work early today, just in case the snow/ice really do come in.

[caveat lector 181]

Too funny.

We left the Fort Tuesday morning and I think it was like 70 something. 15 hours of driving later, we were smacked in the face by a 23 degree Missouri evening.  My blood still hasn't thickened.

[BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023]

Y'all are cracking me up. Yes I know it's a much bigger deal there, but we had an inch of snow overnight and I barely noticed when I let the dogs out this morning.

Still makes me laugh when people do that up here.  We had a storm last week and went to the market the day before (just for our regular "there's no food in the house" shopping) and the bread aisle was empty!  Seriously.  How much bread are people eating??  LOL

6-10 inches is another story.  Hopefully it ends up being less and if not, stay safe!

That. Is. Amazing.

I'm already chuckling here because now that we're not heading to the Fort until March, DH has to snowblow the side yard every storm to make sure when March rolls around, we can actually get the camper out.  As it is there's a better than average chance we'll have to climb up to shovel the roof off to remove the cover.  :)

Haha... we're laughing too.  I grew up in the PNW, where ice storms are not uncommon and then lived in Denver for a few years where you could start the day in shorts and end with 4 inches of snow, so there was no "prep" time    People here are just not use to it.

Your comment on having to dig out in March... yuck!!  While I'm not worried about the snow, I will say that I do not like cold weather.  I thought, by moving to the south, I'd get away from that...but every few years, it seems to find me   If I didn't like Spring (except for the allergies here) and Fall so much, we'd move to FL.

[DaveInTN 3,247]

I had to venture out earlier, and the roads were very slick and snow covered.  Yes, I live in the south, but many of you know I lived the first 35 years of my life in Buffalo and know how to deal with snow.  The problem here is that we simply don't own the equipment to effectively salt and plow when this happens.  I don't care how much experience someone has driving in winter conditions, ice is tough to deal with.  But I made it back home safe and sound...only to slip in my driveway and land flat on my back, twisting my neck in the process.  Did someone say scotch?  

Sure is pretty though.  But Fire is not amused....

Her brother even less amused.

 

[twiceblessed....nacole 433]

Oh gosh Dave... ouch 

Yes, it is pretty. 

[twiceblessed....nacole 433]

OH...and I agree about driving on ice.  But, isn't that why you find a nice empty parking lot?  Just how many 360's can you do??  Growing up, I want to say we topped out at 3

Sounds like a scotch and Oreo type of day to me

Much to my girls' bewilderment, I don't like Oreos. But I'll take the scotch and yall can have them.

[keith_h 420]

Well they missed the forecast for my house. Mother Nature decided to skip the rain and go straight to sleet. The noon weather was upping the estimates of 4-6 inches to 6-10 inches of precipitation. I can't really complain as the one or two snows we get each year makes for some nice scenery and unlike up north will be gone in a few days. The single digit nights they are predicting does have me a little worried as too many of them can freeze the water main at the well head and being on a septic system running a faucet has its own drawbacks.
