My kids were convinced they'd get the day off, but we're just south of the icing. Ice on the deck, but not on the ground, and DOT has been out all night working on the roads.

No snow in Asheville, Bill? Weird. My buddy that lives in Canton emailed me at 5:30 this morning to say the roads were already getting trecherous there. I woke up about 6 and there was already a pretty good covering on the ground here in Sylva, and it's been snowing pretty solid ever since. Still is. It's supposed to turn to freezing rain and ice sometime this afternoon, and continue till the morning. Latest report I heard called for scattered snow up till tomorrow night.

For those who are curious, the Museum is definitely closed today. I'll play it by ear tomorrow morning.

Here in Jefferson, it's all slush. As nasty and wet as it is, I love this kind of stuff. It keeps a lot of people in so you can get a little more sense of remoteness and the daily tempo slows down to a more peaceful pace. These were always the kinds of days I make an effort to get out and walk a bit.

This is an interesting system, One of my folks in Richmond is reporting that it is snowing heavily, and in other parts it is simply a light dusting. Down here is Snellville, it is a mixture of rain and freezing rain!

OK, I just went outside and we're getting a very light drizzle with a bit of tiny sleet mixed in. It wasn't doing anything at all 30 minutes ago.

It's snowing here in the Mts. of Utah. The resorts love it.

OK, now it's dumping on us. Sleet and snow combo. I'm heading home before the roads get too nasty.

Out here in Colorado, a couple of times in my life I have seen the dividing line of the weather. I mean that on one side of the double yellow line in the middle of the road it was a warm and sunny 50 or so degrees, while on the other, mid 30's with snowflakes the size of Kennedy half-dollars. crossing that line was like going through a curtain dividing rooms.

Well, the weather forecasters have been crying snow and ice since early this morning and at mid-morning the radar actually showed precip but nothing here ever hit the ground. I guess we'll see what happens later. Good luck down there guys.

Stay warm.

Yeah, I keep waiting for something to happen. It looks like I won't get off work early today. Maybe I will be able to go in late tomorrow.
