Bug - Can'...Thanks for your comments, everyone.<br /><br />Bug - Can't wait to see all the colors when you finish<br /><br />Robin - You are a woman after my own heart. I also celebrate those milestones.<br /><br />Patti - Glad you escaped the major storms<br /><br />Noreen - Unfortunately the predictions were spot on for us. Because of the changes in elevation and the route of the storm, we got much more than some areas quite close to us.<br /><br />Kim - I'm sure you are as snowbound as we are.<br /><br />Ms. A - Yes, I do have a big "to read" pile of books and several knitting projects. As well as a DVR full of stuff I plan to watch.<br /><br />Mary Lee - It's a bit chilly to go outside to read but I say go for it. Just watch out for the ice.<br /><br />Ginnie - Ice will definitely keep me inside. Broken wrist would be a problem.<br /><br />Tara - Thanks, we will enjoy all three<br /><br />KB - Interestingly enough, we have had our largest snow in March as well. At least here when it snows in March we can count on its having a quick melt.<br /><br />Linthead - Yes, even when the majority of the roads are clear there will be ice on many rural roads. The idea of Virtual School Days levels the playing field even when the schools reopen. If the rural kids cannot get to school, they can continue the virtual school days until the buses can safely get through to them.<br /><br />Vicki - Our snow wasn't good for snow cream. Started with sleet and freezing rain and then a heavy wet snow. Too icy for good snow cream.<br /><br />Troutbirder - If I lived in MN I would definitely try for at least one winter month in a warm climate.NCmountainwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615765649828716560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-67382444779364511362016-01-24T20:10:06.941-05:002016-01-24T20:10:06.941-05:00 Not far behind indeed!

Claui and Justin spent two night at a hotel in Asheville so she could get to her night shifts and the hospital, But we kept our power and our running water and things are improving right along. <br /><br />Only Bob enjoys the snow. Willa and Layla make quick necessary trips (as do Otis and Ali who we kept while J and C were in town.) <br /><br />It was beautiful and Iwe enjoyed snow cream a few times but Im happy to think that temps are rising.

I think people who have not lived through Appalachian winters don't fully understand the difficulty of clearing roads there. I remember many times having to use tire chains just to get up the drive to our apartment. It is a real problem for school buses because of those shady, steep curves you mentioned.

And, for us, it is our biggest snow month. On March 20th or so, 13 years ago, we had 7' of snow fall in 48 hours. I can understand what it's like for you all right now!<br /><br />Enjoy the warm fire and quiet time.KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885661679762446456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-8998970682180026232016-01-23T13:01:28.494-05:002016-01-23T13:01:28.494-05:00A great action shot of Lucy!

I'm seeing friend's posts from up and down the east coast and watching the snow from the rainy comfort of California. <br /><br />What an impressive plan the schools came up with -- someone had their 'thinking cap' on!<br /><br />Enjoy your fire, your quietude.

We are pretty much just getting started on the snow for the weekend, and wonder what Saturday will bring. Stay safe, and isn't it fun when our "grown up pups," become puppies again in the snow?

That keeps the kids from having to make them up later. Technology is wonderful sometimes. <br />We only got a dusting this morning that is all ready gone but school was out here anyway. <br />Stay safe and warm.

Just this morning I was thinking we are a month past solstice. In two weeks, we will be half way to equinox. There is a Gaelic festival that marks the beginning of spring on February 1. It's called Imbolc. I plan to celebrate that day. It's so close! Take care there, and stay warm.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-21989907857015097282016-01-22T12:17:00.842-05:002016-01-22T12:17:00.842-05:00I love the idea of virtual school days!
