Snow/Ice Stormy Weather Watch

Heavy snow across the Mid-South, significant icing for the Piedmont of the Carolinas, heavy snow along the Appalachians into the Northeast/New England, and coastal flooding along the Atlantic shoreline. A major winter storm is set to impact a wide area this weekend.

So turn around, don't drown and lots of broken tree limbs, at least at my house.

We're at the edge of the 3-6 " and 6-12" borders. N of I 40, W of I 77. Very rural. Everything stops when it snows or ices. I'm prepared, and planning to work from home on Monday, longer if necessary.

It's my go to activity when a storm is coming. It takes my mind off of the impending danger.

I may even bake something. I hope we don't lose power. I don't have a generator. ❤
