Not going to snow much THEY said. Not going to stick to roads since Too Warm, THEY said. Ha. I’m sure my magnolia with limbs almost to the ground and my comically flattened ornamental grasses will be glad to hear that.
But it is pretty. When it started at 10:30 AM it was like falling stars of white cotton balls. Many waves of the big flakes, and still coming down. The squirrels unfortunately have figured out the red ball feeder for sunflower seeds for the small birds, but I refilled it and been full of goldfinches and red cardinals.
Fortunately I don’t have to go anywhere. I know the old saw people in the South don’t know how to drive in the snow–but I’ve lived off and on the Midwest, and many of them don’t know how to drive in it either. And no one can drive on ice whether North or South. And quite simply more salt/sand trucks up there than down here–because much more of it up there. 20′s tonight which means freezes over, though 40′s tomorrow, and 60′s by end of week.
All of our big snows or ice always seem to be in March. Might be prettier during holidays, but may be nice to have now when not much going on.

Did you take any pictures?
Sounds like our middle of the country weather. I’m ready for it to stop now. Seriously. Though March, at least the beginning of it, seems to be the time for big snow & ice. I think it’s because Mother Nature knows I want my car out. The bitch.
