outside there is snow, but southward I shall go

Well, a few hours ago, large snowflakes began to fall, followed by noisy little sleet pellets, then the big flakes again, then the sleet. I guess this is what is known as "wintry mix", a term I never even heard before this winter! I normally get euphoric at the thought of snow, but the fact is that my husband coldn't work for almost a week last month because of it and with no snow plows or salt trucks in this region, the whole town shut down. Can you say "cabin fever"?
Tomorrow, we are to leave for Florida in honor of sweet Kavi's third birthday party, so I was glad to hear that they expect the roads to be clear in the morning due to temperatures rising above freezing. We can't miss this special time, and with Stina, Suj and Kavi leaving for India at the end of the month, we look forward to this visit since it will be March before they return home.

ANGELA, DID YOU FINALLY GET SOME SNOW WITH THIS STORM?? I hope you did!!

  1. NO!!! Just about 15 minutes of tiny sleet hitting my window. It will snow all around us and NEVER here! Actually this time though I am hoping it misses us! We have to drive 2 hours to pick up Aubrey's car on Saturday and I would rather drive on nice roads! We drove in a storm when we went to drop it off on Tuesday!

    BTW ---LOVE the new look! Really, really cute!

    Have fun with your family!!
