Monday

Once in I think about 1965 in Wisconsin, and once again during the blizzard of 1993 in Tennessee. Pretty amazing both times. We didn't get anything but a dusting yesterday, enough to make the friend I carpool with call off the drive to church (which is an hour north of us and probably did get some), but the HQ of my husband's compahy in Frederick, MD, is reporting 4-5 inches and everyone was told to stay home if they didn't live right next door. Oh well, next week at this time we'll be in the USVI and I might not come back!
