Only in the North … So You Think

Okay, so we didn’t get the feet of snow that some of you in New Jersey/Pennsylvania have gotten, but 3-4 inches is pretty significant for this part of the country — and maybe more crippling. The south just doesn’t do snow like the north. For instance, there are no salt shacks to fill the trucks to spread and melt the icy roads. And yesterday I had to school co-workers on how to scrape the windshields of their cars with credit cards (no one here has a scraper in their car!). Our newspaper wasn’t even delivered today! (Yet, my co-workers will still have to go into work today — boy did I pick the right Saturday to ask off or what?!)
As for Chris and I, we did what all northern-born-and-bred folks do: lived life as normal despite the white stuff. Well, except for running around taking photos all night and morning, but I do that anyway. Here’s a couple. For more, go to skyeandraine.com.

    Seems to be snow everywhere this winter. We get one inch of snow here and everything grinds to a halt. Hoping that we have seen the last of the white stuff altho I must say, it is very picturesque.Luv, Auntie.

    I read (in the Inky) that there was snow on 49 of 50 States – Hawaii being the only State that didn’t have snow. Having snow (even a small amount) on all those States is virtually unheard of! What a winter!
