We are supposed to have 2 feet of snow before morning here in the North Carolina mountains--YIKES!!!! The last time this happened, Dr Love and I were snowed in with no power for 8 days!! Our dead end dirt road runs along the river and has a steep slope on the other side--hundreds of trees toppled over onto the road. We waited for days for the county to cut us out but they never came, so we had a neighborhood chainsaw party and everyone had firewood for 2 years.
We have a woodstove which kept the house fairly warm and a gas range, so we melted snow to bathe and flush the heads. We put all of our freezer food outside to keep it frozen. The only casualty was the top of our wedding cake, which we were trying to save till our 1st anniversary, but I didn't want to lose it, so we just ate it!
We are supposed to have daily snow through Christmas--I will post some pics for all you Parrotheads and Snowbirds basking in the warmth of the tropics. That includes our Aussie mates who are enjoying summer!!!
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!!

Why do you think I spent most of my life in the Caribbean? Growing up in Northern Ohio with lake-effect snow dumped on me for 5 months out of the year really turned me off the white stuff! The only reason I'm still living up here is that I haven't quite talked Dr Love into moving back down there yet. He officially retired from teaching LAST WEEK, so there's hope fer me to make the scallywag into an Island Mon yet!!!
