Yep, we've been hit with the white stuff here. . . . 12 inches measured at the local airport as of this morning!
The folks on the tv news have been calling for this for a week . . . of course they were undecided on when it would move in. Some thought originally during the afternoon Saturday, others said Saturday night/Sunday morning.
Around here, it started overnight Saturday/Sunday. Went to bed around 11 pm and nothing on the ground. Woke up after 7:30 and we already had several inches . . . that's how fast it came down when it moved into town.
Then during the day yesterday we saw it change and by lunchtime we had sleet mixed in, and then it stopped last night and then this morning we had a light additional snowfall.
Needless to say, the car is buried in the back yard, the front walkway and the wheelchair ramp are both buried as well. I called out for today last night by sending a text to the AM, who was supposed to open this morning.
Sent a text to MeMaw around 6:30 . . . she replied back the store shut down yesterday at 1 pm and our perishable order was cancelled (DC couldn't send out the trucks from Salisbury due to road conditions.)
So right now, me and the kitties are holed up in the house (have a few of the adults who decided to go outside in this mess) and catch up on our tv watching. I've already fed Mom and brother, have a few clothes to fold and otherwise I'm finishing up Season 2 of Under The Dome.
And keeping my fingers crossed I can get a ride to work in the morning. . . .
