Big Snow of 2009

This morning, we woke up to reports of school closings! This is the snow we received last night. In all fairness, some areas got up to 1" of snow and there was some icy spots around. . . This is very typical of what happens here in the South and it is very cold for the South, about 26 as I write this. When they start talking about snow here, I have one word of warning, DO NOT go to the store for anything as everyone in the South has a tradition that when the forecast is for a possible snowfall, that is the signal to go to the store and stock up on bread and milk. I made the mistake of going to a store once not knowing this and saw lines to the register going all of the way back to the end of the store! Unfortunately, USC Upstate where Michael teachers has classes as usual so he's getting ready to go.
