Waiting for SNOW!!

Rumor has it that we in Middle Georgia are in store for a major snow storm... 2-4 inches! The town is just a buzzing! We got snow last year on March 1 (check out the major accumulation above!) Well, maybe it was just a dusting... What you don't see is that to the left of the mailbox our yard is full of pine trees...and there is no snow there at all. This is the backyard...yes there are pine trees to the left.

The prediction is for about 12 hours of snow...9:00am to 9:00pm. So we wait....hoping it gets here and doesn't disappear as if it was a dream...

Snow Day?? Maybe!

Yes there is a "chance of a possibility" of SNOW here in Middle Georgia! We are all excited! This kind of thing doesn't happen very often here. We did have an afternoon of snow last March. It snowed for a few hours and melted fast...that is the way it goes around here. But tonight we has a 60% chance of "winter precipitation"...(I'm guessing that probably sleet). The grocery stores are selling out like we are going to have a blizzard! I will keep you posted tomorrow with the details!
The is the massive snow we had last year...can we top this tonight? Maybe...

Rained Out Market

So here I sit, at the crack of dawn...(or maybe before... it's dark) Watching the Weather Channel, hoping that the rain wasn't coming. But as I type I hear thunder! The radar is a lovely color of reds and yellows... They say we are going to have a busy weather day..hail, tornadoes, damaging winds! So that means the City Market on the Green is off.

Today is the last weekend of the Cherry Blossom Festival. It runs for 10 days in Macon with all kinds of events. Today was to be the big street fesitval. Our weekley market was to be like a fringe event for both weekends. We had a lot more people last Saturday than we had last winter. I just started the market last November and December when it was nice and freezing! Believe it or not, we had people show up..must have been for all those last minute Christmas presents!

So now it is Spring...and it is raining...maybe I'll go back to bed!

Snow Day Part Two

Okay... So it stopped snowing around 1:30 or so. I was cold and decided to take a nap around 3. When I woke up an hour later this is what I found! I had to get my snow gear back on and go back outside and frolick! It was so pretty!! Now it looked like we had snow! The morning snow basically melted fast...by 1:30 there was not a drop of snow on my car. But now, Winter Wonderland! We are still under a winter advisory until midnight with total accumulations of 1 to 3 inches! Too bad it is now dark outside :( But it was fun while it lasted!!!

Snow Day

Just came back inside from "Playing" in the snow.. actually it was really just a walk! It has been snowing here since 9:30 this morning! It is not sticking very well since it was 72 degrees here yesterday and raining during the night! It is sticking on cars, roofs and some plants. Compared to more northern parts of the country it is not much, but to us it was exciting to see. The last time it snowed here was 2002. As I look out the window right now, it looks as if it has stopped. Maybe it will be back before long! Our only taste of winter and it will be almost 80 on Friday! Summer is almost here...

Rain or Snow?

This is the first rainy day we have had here in Middle Georgia in a while. Wish it would rain all day..the more rain the sooner spring will be here! But it looks like it may be wind, tornadoes and rain that pushes through quickly. Already tornadoes in Alabama...

And for tomorrow SNOW! That word always gets everyone excited! We never see snow here, not even flurries. If it does snow, it won't stick..it was 70 degrees yesterday! But the grocery stores will be sold out of milk and bread like we will have a blizzard! Ah the South..gotta love it!
