I am so sick of this cold weather and all this snow. Thank goodness for quilting! It makes for a nice reason to stay inside.
But here's the strange part about it ..... I live in SOUTH Louisiana where until this year we had never had snow more than once in the same winter and even that was rare. In December we had the earliest snowfall ever on record here which broke the previous record by a week and that record had only been from a year ago. Two weeks ago we had the second snow of the season so that is also a new record. And now the weather forecast has winter weather advisories for tonight and we are expecting the third snowfall of the winter.
What is going on? Global cooling? They are blaming it on El Nino. Okay, so our snow is not measured in feet like some of you have, but even an inch is enough to keep this crazy Cajun girl off the road.

I really feel bad for you :XD: Here in southern Oregon we are having the mildest winter I can remember :thumbup: :thumbup:
In Jan it was warm and no freezing nights :lol:
This month it has even been better....60 - 65 during the day and bright blue skies :thumbup: :thumbup:
But this afternoon it is supposed to rain and there are winter weather advisories all around :thumbdown: :thumbdown:
But we need the rain and snow for our water for the summer, so I guess it is all good!

Crazy is not the word. Yesterday and today the fog is so thick we can't see the road at top of driveway. Last nite DH came home from school and said if he didn't know our road like the back of his hand, he would have had an accident the fog was so thick. We have about 10" of snow that has not melted yet. Started to see ground for the first time since Christmas under the pine trees. Were are expecting more snow this week.
Soon enough we will be complaining of the wet and the heat. Never satisfied are we? :roll:
