Default Southern Snow!

I got a particular laugh from the accuweather.com forecast - had to grab an image for posterity. 8 solid inches on the ground here.

It always looks nice until you have to clean it up. Where looking at around 12 Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. I like what it says under the photo "Expect poor conditions for fishing". I have been fishing for a couple of weeks now, through the ice. Massachusetts lets you have five tip ups. It's like fishing with five poles.

Geez, here outside of Buffalo, N.Y. I don't even bother to get the snowblower out of the garage unless we get at least 10". The winter vehicles are 4x4 pickups so we just drive through it. ENJOY! It won't last forever, (I hope).

Almost 5 inches south of Charlotte N.C. This would be a dusting in NY where I am originally from, but atleast we had plows and salt trucks up there!!! Schools closed for 2 days now!

I'm in Matthews and made it in to work...roads this morning are worse than yesterday. I'd rather drive in snow than on a sheet of ice.

Be careful out there!
