The Snow is Back

  Well, looks like the weather reporters were pretty close right with this storm. They were predicting anywhere from 6" to 16" of snow for us yesterday. We got 8", but I am not complaining. Our electric went out from 3 Am Saturday morning until about 5pm last night. Our home is all electric, so thank God for the wood stoves. At least we were warm. My husband has a small generator that he plugged the fridge, and TV in, and we used an electric Foreman grill that I havent used in ages, plus the microwave. I tried boiling an egg on top of the wood stove, but it didnt want to come to a boil, so I wrapped the partially cooked egg in foil, and set it inside my wood stove next to the hot ash for 5 minutes. It worked, so I had a chef salad for lunch. There was so much snow and ice on the power  and phone lines it pulled the phone line out of the house where it was attached. Luckily, it fell across the corner of the garage roof below, which reduced tension, and kept it from being pulled out of the junction box. We were out Saturday evening when then stuff hit, and in a matter of an hour, the roads were horrible. During that 30 mile drive back home, we saw about 5 wrecks before we got home. Where Oh Where Is Spring?

The Snow Hits Again.

  The south was supposed to get hit with a snow storm, but we weren't supposed to get any. Well this morning around 10am, it started. The roads got nasty quick, but we only have a couple of inches so far, and if the weather report is right this time, it is supposed to quit by 4 pm, and not get any more than 2-4 inches.I will be so glad when Spring gets here.

During the recent snowstorm to hit the east coast, we got a total of about 8" of snow in our area. The shot below was taken of my front yard from the porch.
