Climate trends in recent years have given my region pretty mild winters. Many forecasters are expecting snow, sleet and freezing rain tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, they're forecasting temperatures in the mid-40s. So even though this weather pattern might be bad, it's gonna' be brief.
This afternoon on the way to work, I noticed that the highways were salted. On the way home, I heard that school is cancelled for a mountain county. I would wager that stores are running low on bread and milk. I first moved to the South 20 years ago and I prided myself on being able to drive in the snow. I think I'm pretty rusty in that department for lack of practice, but I can still marvel and mock those who freak out over a few flakes.
UPDATE: It's 37 degrees, nothing has happened, and the local schools are already cancelled for tomorrow. I had to shovel 6 or more inches and then hover near the radio [tuned to WBEV] to see whether we'd even be delayed.
UPDATE, 6 A.M. Thursday: We awake to fluffy snow on the ground and school closings.

I love the typical reaction to the snow in NC! I remember the milk/bread runs well! We are well over that here. 2 new inches and still we have school! Wonderful blanket of white throughout the neighborhood and woods! Greetings from upstate NY! Suzanne
