Forecast is not even the right word. Snow was guaranteed. "The snow will begin to fall around midnight, with accumulations of 1-2 inches by morning." The schools were already all but closed. Those magical two words were whispered with excitement: Snow day. There was a run on milk, bread, and gas. No matter that only 1-2 inches were expected; better to be safe than sorry in a Southern snowstorm.
Imagine the disappointment this morning when there was no snow to be seen. Not a single flake had made it to the ground. Cries of little children could be heard throughout the South. No snow day.....But wait! Turn on the news. The schools were closed anyway! It was a snow-less snow day!
While some counties did receive a dusting of the white stuff, our county recorded no precipitation. But why let a small detail like that stop you? Most Middle Tennessee counties closed due to a snow storm that accumulated little more than hype.
Dave and I have dubbed today the "Snow Anticipation Day." Isn't it beautiful?

Hey,
Sorry about your lack of snow. We can share :) We have plenty it's just too cold to enjoy. Boys are having fun shoveling the driveway regardless.
Love,
mom
Yup. I think the weather forecasters and the grocery store owners are in cahoots. There's always a run on staples when there's even a hint of snow forecast!
