3" of snow in Louisiana

[GunnyFreedom]

Ok, I get that now.

I suppose you think I'm stupid.

No, I really don't. I'm just very surprised that you didn't already know it since West Virginia is a cold State. I just thought this was common knowledge in the cold States is all.

You're free to think that if you want, but I'm really just a curious soul who's constantly seeking to reaffirm unsettled truths in my mind that I can't explain. I am constantly seeking knowledge, see, so anyone who thinks I'm stupid because I ask questions would be sorely mistaken.

Genius sometimes takes unlikely forms.

I know you didn't exactly ask me to explain that, but hey, it's open discussion, so I'm not afraid of derailing the thread with my revelations about what the distinction between genius and stupidity is. I happen to think I am of the former category, but you can decide for yourself. It doesn't bother me one bit because, at this point, I'm just rambling about nothing of particular importance to anyone.

Dang, looks like we're gettin some too.

Fixin to get ugly in Eastern NC over the next 48 hrs. Starting Tuesday Afternoon and going to Wednesday day. The hits are coming in this order:

~28° freezing rain 3-4hr -> sleet and ice 2-3hr -> ~20° snow 6-7hr -> ice 1hr -> temps plummet to 7°

Oh my Wednesday and Thursday 6AM jobs going to be fun...

Really glad I have access to a 4wd XTerra to running jobs...

Yup. Yesterday went and cut wood. Today and tomorrow cutting lengths and chopping. My folks just gifted me one of these after experiencing it at my sisters house...

I'm actually impressed by it. Not your average electrical heater.

It's ok, I'm really just messing with you.

Yeah, as long as you're not a brass monkey, you should be safe.

Just got back from the grocery....it was a zoo!! Reminded me of the frenzy we see when a hurricane is a day or two away. Everything is closing again tomorrow and some things are also closed Wednesday. Ready to hunker down and wait for snow.

I hate that , I only go to the butcher if it is nice out , if it is bad I just do my own , I need no bread ( worried about my figure ) and I only use milk for gravies and can make do with canned milk , grow & can or freeze my own veggies , I should quit drinking , lol

[TD="colspan: 2"]Clear skies over Chicago,

Huddled up here at fema
detention camp, it seems
cooler than packed boxcar.

Nope.

Nope.

At my location, we've had 5.3 inches of snow laying on top of a solid layer of ice.
All I can think about is how horrible the crawfish season is going to be.
