Gather the milk sammich supplies

Red alert, snow is falling in the south. Our roads are brined and the temps are cold. School was canceled today in preparation for this. I saw one Yankee driving around who obviously missed his homeland as he had a snow plow attached to his f150. The almost 4 year old has been talking all week about wanting to build a snowman, if we get a decent snow then this will be the first one since before he could walk.

Stores are mostly bereft of milk, bread, and eggs at this point. I am otherwise occupied. I will post survival updates as time passes.

We currently have 5-6” of snow at my house in Huntsville, AL. Got to give my son a little snow driving lesson and he had fun. If it freezes tonight things in my area are really going to be bad. It’s very lightly raining/sleeting on top of the snow so a hard freeze would really throw a monkey wrench into northern AL.

This could be a rare one for us, doesn't look like it will get above freezing today so no sleet or freezing rain.

10 inches for us in Benton, AR. Very rare we normally get one or two small snowfalls a year

I talk to people in Raleigh area almost daily and lived there for 25 years. A few years ago, towards the tail end of Covid, I was talk with a colleague there and said “I hear you’re expecting snow there.” He says “yeah, they’ve already cancelled school” (which is quite common to cancel school before the first flake ever falls). I said, “Wait, aren’t you still on virtual school? Why would you have a snow day for virtual school?” He says “yeah, but the kids would get upset if they didn’t get their snow day”.

Just got back from picking the boy up from Pop's house. The non-salted roads are getting slick, nothing the Subaru can't deal with though. We just got our first break in the snow since it started.
