No matter where you live, it has a downfall.

What part of Iowa? I'm in SW MN and we're gearing up for the same mess! I'm scheduled to work on thursday afternoon and Saturday morning (I'm a nurse.) I'd rather be quilting!

Soon enough you will have everything you need at home and won't need to go to Joann's for anything accept for what you need, want, have to have etc.

Know how you feel also. sighs. So tired of driving in the snow.
shoveling the snow. Watching it fall.
We're suppose to get more tomorrow and Thursday.
Hugs to all. Watch you don't throw out your back shoveling.

I used to hate snow - then I learned to ski.
I used to hate summer - then I got air conditioning.
I used to hate spring and fall MUD season - then I had a son who loves to play in puddles.
Now I enjoy the seasons.
Even though I don't ski anymore.
And I hide in the A/C during the summer due to allergies.
And I'm not so enthused about mopping up another muddy trail through the house.
But I wouldn't have it any other way.
Greetings, from SW Ontario, in the snow belt.

[quote=Jory]Thanks for reminding me. I'm originally from Okmulgee, now buried under this New England/East Coast blizzard, and I was thinking about moving SOUTH! Now the question is, just how FAR south do I need to go? The equator?? I'd better brush up on my Spanish!

I don't know how far south you might have to go but don't bother coming west. I'm in western Ariz. & our temps are dropping to low 30s this wk. with poss. snow in Scottsdale which runs east of Phoenix. Now there's a show stopper. We snowbirds don't come south to deal with cold & snow. LOL

The storms seem to skip over us and hit the mountains - ski areas are happy.
Last winter was the coldest for here in almost a hundred years.
So I am all set to quilt through the weekend.

I think what you are getting Wednesday night, we will be getting Thursday and Friday - it is all the weathermen are talking about now! Rain, sneet, snow, warm weather, that being upper 30's and low 40's and then rapidly dropping down to possible below zero weather and all that wet stuff will freeze on our streets. I imagine the Highway Dept and the Cities will start salting today to keep ahead of it. I have to go grocery shopping tomorrow and will start out around 5:45 AM and get home before it all hits the fan! I told my husband that I could get some ribs for New Years Eve in case we can't get down to Famous Dave's for our annual Rack of Ribs dinner!!!!!! Oh, well, I am embroidering a Christmas quilt right now and we will have parades and football to watch and probably by that time most everything will be over with and we can watch the salt melt the ice! Start the New Year off with clean streets. Happy New Year. Edie

We moved to get away from the cold and snow. Its cold here now, but we are suppose ot have a warming spell where the weatherman said we could probably open the windows for awhile. Some of our family is still in Iowa, and I only go in the summer time to visit.
