Wow! It snowed this week.

Monday, we awoke to somewhere between 6-8" of the white stuff. The mid-South was covered by a very chilly white blanket. The roads were not impassable, but some brave souls made their way out of the neighborhood. Normally some of our neighbors make their way out of the neighborhood by 6 AM. But these brave souls did not leave until after 8 AM. Not really such "brave souls". We stayed in.
Channel 3 in Memphis portrayed the event as another dangerous day in the mid-South. I ventured out to clean the snow off of the car. After going back inside to warm up, I glanced back out to notice that the windshield was already recovered by another 2" of snow. We are just not used to this kind of thing in our area.
By evening we worried that the roads would be even worse. In some places they were right. But for the most part, it started to warm up slightly, just enough to clear most of the roads. I went to work on Tuesday. One of the only ones.
Memphis was still shut down for a couple of more days. It is great to live nearby but not be required to drive into the city.
Fortunately for all of us, this snow didn't come last week. 'Cause it was really cold, around 15-20 degrees all over the area. Thank God for small favors.
