nothing compared to a couple I visit...
I am thinking hibernation. They do say we might get above freezing by a couple degrees in a few days though.Well if you can offer an alternative that does not involve hot ovens or cold dirt 6 foot deep, I would sure be glad to listen!
OMG ( Not the Area Code), I am moving back up to The North. They are making plans to salt and plow roads here. We don't even have snow in the forecast, just colder than normal temps. Just plain nutz!
they call off school yet? They did that a couple times here last year.
It was so cold the yuppies from the south had 2 sweaters around their neck. LOL
It's funny how people go nuts over a few flakes falling. You can always tell the transplants the first year they're here they're the least prepared, and the ones walking around with this dazed look like " My realtor said it didn't snow in Tennessee." The second year they make a mad dash to the stores to clear the shelves of the basics. You know milk, eggs, and bread! So they can make an omelet to celebrate being prepared.
I'm actually really a funny paradox. My pituitary pretty much shut down about 10 years ago, and one result is that my body doesn't regulate temperature well. I start sweating at about 75 degrees, and I start shivering at about 50. That gives me a 25 degree window of "not being all that whiney."I will say, when I lived in Houston cool weather was harder on me.
That's funny ... and so true. Even the local radio guys get the gag here in Nashville: "they're predicting flurries in the morning ... milk & bread people, milk & bread."You know milk, eggs, and bread! So they can make an omelet to celebrate being prepared.
They still don't know nuttin'. No beer on the shopping list! :sad:
at any given time our booze cabinet level is such we can weather a two week blizzard so never need to panic shop.

... Is that an outhouse or a fishing shanty?
