I told you!

As I type, the temperature is dropping and SNOW clouds are moving in. SNOW! Tennesseeans go absolutely nuts at the threat of snow- kinda like San Diegans with rain. Some school districts have already canceled classes and the first flake hasn't dropped yet. All the grocery stores will be packed with panicked mamas buying milk, bread, cokes- life's essentials- for the non-blizzard that looms in our future. I wish I could transplant these good people to one good winter day in Michigan just to give them a little perspective. They don't really believe ex-Northerners when we talk about Northern winters, even after seeing pictures on TV. Apparently REAL snow must be experienced to be believed. For myself, I rather hope it does snow a little. We haven't had much to speak of, and a light dusting of snow is always a homey sort of thing. Especially when you know it will be gone within a day and you won't have to shovel it.
