Snow was in our forecast last night for the great state of Alabama. This means, there is no bread, milk, or can goods left on a store shelf anywhere.
I think the news intentionally hypes up the weather for lack of anything else to report. Last night, hubby and I watched snow segments on "How to Drive In the Snow", "How to Dress Warmly", and yadda yadda. Although I laughed through most of it because sheer common sense should tell you to wear a hat and gloves, he seemed to be listening intently. More proof he is a southern boy and myself still a yankee.
Meteorologists were predicting an INCH of snow. Yes, an inch. Emergency crews have been ready for a week. It is 34 degrees right now. Don't even get me started on any of these factors. I know what a true snow storm is... Try BLIZZARD - 20 degree temps and a foot of snow.
I woke up this morning, like a child on Christmas morning. Heartbroken. Not a spec of white to be seen.
I am buying a snow machine.

We got just enough - played for a little while and now it's gone. Just my kind of event!
Ok YB, your blog made me feel better. I'm sitting up here in Huntsville where we didn't even get a flake. I cursed my husband for making my children miss the snow and I'm secretly glad there wasn't that much or I might have to get divorced.
I hear your pain my northern sistah.
I cracked up watching NBC 13s "How to Drive in the Snow" last night and I loved the shot of the Shelby county sander trucks all lined up w/ no place to go.
I had a neighbor call yesterday morning and asked if I needed anything from the store. It was sweet but c'mon! We're talking a freakin' inch!!!
