    So here is out snowstorm. This caused us to be let out of work early Tue off today and delayed start tomorrow!

    See the pics and enjoy. First pic was Tuesday at 5pm or so the others were either late Tuesday or today. IMG_20140128_174233.jpg IMG_20140128_174214.jpg IMG_20140129_114408.jpg IMG_20140129_114411.jpg

    I hear there's several problems when you get snow.
    Stay safe.

    Good luck, stay warm.

    Up here in the north we often take for granted how the south isn't prepared (at a infrastructure perspective) for even a dusting of snow, but we've gotten soft over the years as well. When I was a kid, we had to get 8" to a foot of snow for a delay/early dismissal/cancellation. ...nowadays, it gets in the low single digits (or an inch or two of snow) and schools delay or cancel......smh......

    Dint think the last 2 years we had snow? If we did it was flurries. 3-4 yrs ago we had 2 snows the largest was 6"s or so and stuck in shadows a week.

    Folks our parents age remember 1-3 snows like this a yr. We got 1" and covered everything but the roads. Just did not get out early enough to get a pic.

    I've noticed that on the national news this year. Why close a school down for single digit weather? Our coldest morning this winter was -2F and blowing, school in session.

    Yes southerners can embarrass themselves over a few inches of snow, its frustrating. We make the joke, "snow in the forecast, lets go buy up all the bread and milk". It happens every time.

    I've got a 99 f350 with the original auto hubs that still work. But still manually lock them when I know I'll need 4wd just in case.
