So moving from Utah and hearing my parents snow stories from Colorado, snow doesn't bother me that much. In the Carolinas that is definetely NOT the case! Last week we were slowly getting colder and then on Wednseday night/Thurs. morning we were supposed to get some precipitation. The low was supposed to be around 29 so most likely we'd get some snow. The entire area basically shut down! Two hours away they closed two major roads just in case there was any swno, they just didn't want anyone getting hurt. All the schools were threatening to close for the day and businesses too. All the Elementary school kids wore their clothes backwards on Wed. so that it would snow and school coudl be cancelled for Thurs.(weird wive's tale huh?!?)
The final verdict, we did get snow, about 1 1/2 inches at our house and Matt got to sleep in, so that was nice. Charlotte cancelled the entire day of school and TONS of businesses were closed, but Rock Hill schools only had a two-hour delay. It was really funny though to see how much people freaked out about it. There was probably a rush on food at the grocery store just in case. I wasn't there... thank goodness for the prophet's wise words about food storage, we made it through! :)

That's really funny! Did you guys go out and play in it?
Ha Ha--That is how MO is. We would ALWAYS get off school for anything over 1 inch. Maybe it was because I am from the country and they didn't plow our roads. I rememebr one time my mom would not let me go out, well we did anyways and we were fine. But she freaked out and was surprised we were ok! She thought for sure everyone who went out got in an accident.
