Have never in my 66 years seen more than 2 inches of snow, that was 10-12 years ago.

I grew up in Toledo, Ohio. We had lake affect snow all the time. We walked to school in it. In the 50’s we wore dresses so we just pulled on snow pants under our dresses for the walk. I didn’t think anything of it until I got older and the cold started to hurt.

I hope you can keep your power to stay warm. Do you have a way to log on if you lose power?

The wind is picking up. The bulk of snow hits tonight.*****************
We are approaching the worst of this storm now. Hang in there, DJ. :)

You too, Trish.
Hubby charged the battery on his laptop and APC battery backups in case we lose power. We can be on long enough to let everyone know. I have a cord phone too.

I hear you. It’s so cold in our bedroom that when Mr T and the pups get up in the morning, I start shivering. We’re fortunate to have an Icelandic wool throw that keeps me from cramping up.

Praying that the storm will be much less intense than predicted.

I love the big horseshoe drive but it means two ends to get plowed in. That means hand shoveling.

My DiL got flannel sheets for us as a Christmas gift. One of the best gifts I’ve ever gotten.

Some of the old timers, when I was a kid, swear they had nearly 2 feet down here when they were young.
Can't even imagine down here with 2 feet, must have been around 1910 or so.

I really hate it when you just finish shoveling and they plow you back in.
I feel like shaking my fist at them when that happens.

It'll just give the plow drivers something to laugh at :)

No. If we lose power we are alone. I'm just glad that we have a wood burning fireplace, and lots of batteries.
The wind is howling, and the snow is horizontal. As long as trees don't come down on our house or cars we will be all right.

A search shows some historic snow in Louisiana and Mississippi.
Historic snows
1940-JANUARY 23: The Lafayette Advertiser reported: Except in the coastal regions Louisiana and Mississippi today are mantled in the heaviest snow in years, measuring from one to 13 inches.
