I love the snow, specifically. The freezing rain and ice comes around noon today. Right now, I'm getting ready to go outside and play like a kid until the ice and freezing rain and sleet gets here. Then, I'll come back inside and hunker down and wait for the freaking power to go out. It is supposed to be windy today and all the trees are already weighted down. They aren't used to this much weight on them, so losing power seems inevitable. I don't mind the cold, because I love it, but I can already see my aunt and my cat sitting there with dour looks on their faces being all grumpy about the cold when it does happen. Neither are amused by all this frozen stuff falling out of the sky. I'm ecstatic, or will be until the sleet and other crap gets here. The snow, by itself, though? I freaking love it.
P.S. I wonder how long before the inevitable Stupid Moron Southerners Should be CHAMPS at Driving on Ice and Sleet Threads start. The NWS has already urged at least 2 states and probably will in NC too sometime today to stay home and don't try to drive in this. Our roads are not graded for ice driving and with all the hills we have, even experienced ice drivers would slide right off, but don't let that stop them from bashing us and calling us morons and idiots. Nope, we should be CHAMPEEN Olympic Ice Drivers in the south what with our maybe once a year, twice at most snow events that last a couple days. We are just stupid idiots for not winning gold in the Olympic Ice Driving competitions.
