A friend and I are currently on our way home to Florida from western Pennsylvania. We just crossed into Virginia heading south. It's 6 degrees and I've seen more snow than I ever want to see again.
I was hoping that the weather would start clearing up soon but it looks like we've still got a lot of snowy snow to go through, at least according to your picture. My view isn't nearly as pretty.

Matt, the further south you go the worse it is going to get. Hunker down and wait it out. Here just on the eastern side of the Blue Ridge we have 7" and it's still coming down. Just 90 miles east of us at Richmond they are at about 10" or so. Supposed to stop around Noon but who knows.sigpicSee you in the future as I write about our past

Here, Blue Ridge foothills, upstate S.C., it is quite a pretty scene to those of us who don't have to venture off the hill. I had to go out, fish my garden hose from under the snow, and hose the snow off the satellite dish to get the television working again. Funny to see the Poodle make a quick dash in & out this morning. Instead of his usual goofing off, it was a quick dash into the snow, leave a small yellow spot, quickly return to wipe his feet on the towel kept just inside the door, and demand to be cuddled until he warmed up.
I trudged out to the pasture to check on my two little female pygmy goats. I built them a three sided mobile shed on wheels. Inside that little enclosure, I placed one of those igloo doghouses. They apparently hunkered down last night as the snow began. Both were curled up together in the straw, content to stay put. Not a single hoof print in the snow. I checked out my generator yesterday, just in case the wind gets up, knocks trees over power lines, and we loose power. As long as the firewood holds up, we,ll be fine.
I'm not sure of our neighbors across the road. The new houses were built on lots where the only level ground is where they bulldozed the foundations. One wrong move on those steep driveways and they will slide down the hill, across the road, and take out my pasture fence. I plan to keep my camera ready for the insurance claims.
For Matt...hope you make the trip safely. Stay alert and take the opportunity to enjoy & keep this as a memory of youthful adventure.John Clary

Here in Eastern NC (I-95) near the VA line we have about 6" so far and still falling. Our porch seems to have a nice coating of sleet and freezing rain and then the snow on top of that. Not a good combination for traction.Wayne

Paul, that's a lovely sight. Reminds me of the Crate & Barrel ads this past Christmas. Stuey is also under a snowy blanket, but not nearly as picturesque.
Originally posted by r1lark View PostI know for a lot of y'all, what we have is not a lot of snow. But for us, it is a pretty decent snow, probably 7" and still coming down. Here is a Studebaker in the snow:

Plus, a couple hours later all the snow got cleaned off it.Paul
