Kap & Pen

Well, once again my kiddos are disappointed by the weather predictions. Sadly, we live just far enough south that we don’t get snow when the northern part of the county does. So, it snows near my niece, in Slater/Marietta, but not so much here in Fork Shoals. We got a smidge of sleet last night, and we actually saw snowflakes for about 20 minutes tonight. That hardly qualifies for getting out the sled. Ah well…there’s always February. Oh wait – we often have daffodils in bloom by the 14th, so that plan may not work out so well either.

If you live in an area that gets lots of snow, we’d love to hear from you! I grew up in Illinois, so I’m familiar with shoveling daily snowfall accumulations and chipping ice off the windshield every time I wanted to drive anywhere, but these are just stories to my children. My husband grew up in Wisconsin, but again, no reality for the younger ones.

So post your stories! Tell us how deep the snow gets and how long the icicles get and how thick the ice gets – we’d love to hear from you!
