Snow in the South!

Bwuhahahahaha! I just spoke with my Mom last night, she said they were snowed in...she lives in South Carolina...in the upstate... a little town called Williamston...it's the town I grew up in.....anyway, I just logged onto thier local papers website..the hometown "journal" and they had this picture posted, with the caption below...

Winter Weather Arrives!
Area receives approximately one inch of snow!


I bet the local Bi-Lo and convienance stores were all out of milk and bread and people were driving around with chains on their tires!!!



I am totally laughing my butt off..they closed schools, my brothers place of work, etc...for one inch of snow! We get 12 inches, everything is still going as normal....lol....too funny!

It does baffle me how the farthre south you get, if you get any snow all hell breaks loose. yet go up north and all is normal no matter how much snow is around.

Chains? What are chains? :o)

We prefer to hunker down with our milk & bread and watch the continuous coverage of "Winter Storm 2008" on the news!!!

Janet....we got over an inch today, schools were not even delayed.

Sicilian...I know...I just remember how it was when I was a child...everything closes. I live in Indiana, we get 12 inches and keep on going....that was the only thing I was laughing about.

Drama Queen...my poing exactly!

I'm a Mom...when I was a kid, when it snowed, people that didn't have four wheel drive vehicles, would put chains on their back tires...for traction...they were so scared to drive in it...

Daddy-o...I would gladly send some your way if I could.

oh yeah I can relate. We were expected the snow here in Bama and I went for milk [although because we were out not cuz of the snow] and there was a terribly long line at the milk section, lol

They're still more hardcore than LA. Whenever it rains here (and I mean whenever as in every single time), it becomes a custom-graphics-and-sound-effects-worthy news story. Lock your doors and hide the children! It's biblical flood watch 08!
