LOOK at my weather map! We NEVER get pink - so pretty!!! (Anybody know what the blue color above it means?)
So Dean fixed seafood gumbo, we cranked up a good fire, and I am almost finished with the second panel, if you can believe it! Unfortunately, all the snow we were anticipating and prepared for went northward unexpectedly and tore up Birmingham and Atlanta, who were not expecting it. My brother spent the night at work, my SIL hiked over a mountain and hitched a ride on 4-wheelers to get home (did that BOW training kick in, Elizabeth?), and Robbie's family spent hours trying to get home.
So all we got was sleet and ice, but you can still have a little fun with that, without necessarily requiring a hip replacement. Here's Lucas giving the front sidewalk a shot while Jake goes on about how it's his turn...
And here's Drew's documentary of his ride, with the unsuspecting Jake blocking his path.
I have found that Facebook is an awesome way to keep up with things going on in a storm, but also can provide some entertainment. Pure Barre FB'd that they were closed, but started a contest to win some sticky socks if you send in your winter planking picture. Lucas obliged by taking a pic for me.
Okay, back to beading!

I love your plank -- what good form! Also, glad you are not having the Atlanta snowmageddan walking dead event where you are! Too funny about the hip replacement comment!
Looks like fun was had! (that other anonymous isn't me)

Pam, you must've seen that meme comparing a Walking Dead highway to i-85 - ironic!
Robbie, are you still alone, or did everybody get back to their respective homes? My brother got home yesterday afternoon and sent me pics of all the cars wrecked on his hilly street - pitiful.
Everyone is back at their respective homes. Laurie is here, with a possible fractured elbow. The orthopedist said she had "massive effusion" in the elbow and that frequently indicated a fracture, even if you couldn't see it. Took her 2 days to get to a doc and she is communing with her pain meds in between her painful PT.
There are still random cars here and there, but most of the streets are bare and dry with a few icy spots in the shade.
I saw the walking dead meme. It was a hoot!!!

Did Laurie fall down? How miserable - hope that gets better soon. We're all back to normal here, and I hope to post a full front of the dress this weekend - whee!
Had to get home to my sweet child who had to hike 2 miles to get home! Would do it again ! Tanks to Juan the hispanic man who gave me a ride for about 4 blocks on a 4 wheeler until he was confronted with massive destruction of vehicles! Have no idea what his name is - he did not tell me but I appreicate the heck out of him!
yeah I can't type I meant Thanks not tanks!
I can not even start to imagine going through that - you da woman!!!
Yes, Laurie fell while out playing with the rest of the kids. I told her people over 30 shouldn't play in the snow ;)
Robbie
That's a shame, Robbie! Even I didn't fall down this year.
