Last Wednesday, it started snowing lightly in the morning. G&T called to say it was snowing more in Lawrence and they wouldn't come to pick up things as planned. It snowed all afternoon and was beautiful - we got about 3 to 4 inches. It was still beautiful on Thursday morning by my pleasure had decreased enormously because I needed to get out of the driveway with our little car and Pat was in Austin with the 4 wheel drive truck. It was 0 degrees at 7:30 am but I put on my Hot Chillys and bundled up, got the Gator out and made a path in the driveway from the garage to the highway. My fingers were sooooo cold when I finished. I backed the car out and turned it around; that went okay so I figured I'd make it out which I did. There was still packed snow on some of the roads but everything went okay. A woman on the airport parking shuttle said schools had been closed in Kansas City and her business had also closed - some places in KC had 12 inches of snow. Almost all had melted by the time I returned yesterday from Atlanta.

Ohh, you're so lucky! I wish we could get snow here that sticks. We have already recorded one snow/sleet episode which only lasted about two hours. Intellicast (my WWW weather of choice) is predicting snow showers this coming Sat. and Sun. I'm not holding any high hopes for these snow showers either. The high both days are in the lower forties and low for both days are in the lower to mid twenties.

I commiserate - Midway Airport reported ten inches on the ground after your storm reached us. I thought that I would surely get stuck trying to negotiate my car out of the crowded, snow-bound parking lot. Front wheel drive is a wonderful thing and I was able to plow my way through to the street. Your challenges in the country are greater! And, it's only mid-December.

well, he was at my house last night, sleeping in my mother's bed---ooh that almost sounds like a Greek Tragedy. Mother was not in that same bed. Presently, he is tooling down the interstate growing closer and closer to you with each passing minute.
