We had a bit of snow(1/64 of an inch lol) which started to stick on the roads but the rain washed it away. Still have a white lawn though.

I figured this would put a damper on your work week.

It's 29 here now and expected to fall to about 25 with sleet and freezing really kicking in late tonight and early tomorrow morning. We should get what you guys get about an hour after your finished with it. Unfortunately, we didn't see any snow out of the deal.

It's supposed to get warmer later in the week. Apparently, the record for this day was -29.5 in 1976.

It's not too bad right now; the worst is supposed to hit tonight. I just checked the Iredell-Statesville school homepage, and it turns out I don't have school tomorrow. What luck eh? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Trust me, born in the North and living in the South has it's advantages. The guys down here are so overwhelmed by the "Storm of 2002" that they all rush to the nearest convienance store and stock up on bread and milk, like it's the third world war or something [img]tongue.gif[/img] I spent ten years up there in NY, so my experiences are far greater than this "we might get a foot" deal.

Yea I've been around myself Nano I know how to get around but but here they.....dont. I went up to the store earlier, ice all on the road and someones tailgaiting me. Have they no sense? Apparently not! I really thought of braking for fun to see how they liked it but didnt....maybe tomorrow [img]smile.gif[/img]

We lucked out around here! The worst of the storm went to the north of us, and we've only been inconvenienced.

Lots of downed trees and power lines, but our roads stayed clear. The tempurature actually went up a few degrees overnight, so this morning things are really looking up.

My next-door neighbor and I each lost a tree and lots of limbs from other trees. Both of our fallen trees missed another neighbor's house by less than a foot.

Now, if they'll just get my power back on. It went off at 9pm last night, and it's still down.
