Just went out to get the mail. Swept the front steps off when I went out & they were covered again on my way back inside!!!! Little tiny hard balls of snow coming down fast.

The type of snow that squeaks when you walk on it...

I'd rather have snow than the ice & I'm uncomfortably close to the snow/ice transition line for tomorrow. If it moves North even 10 miles, it'll get me.

Meanwhile temps are already so low that my heat pump can't keep up & is running supplemental heat so, as long as I've got electric, I'm running an infrared heater to try to help it out and have blocked off all the bedrooms.

And I found the adapter hose this morning that will let me hook a grill tank up to my little camp stove! Woohoo!!!! John had put it UNDER the DVD shelves in the living room (?!?!?!?!?!?!) and I was moving something and saw about an inch of hose sticking out. That will be HUGE if we lose electric! I can save my little propane bottles for the Buddy Heater and use a grill tank for cooking/heating water instead of having to ration... (I was even looking to see if I could cook on top of the kerosene heater...)

Anyway, regardless of what Mother Nature decides to do here, it's gonna be a rough ride.

Best of luck to everyone else that this will be hitting... I just talked to T and L'ville (where CindyV lives) **should** stay all snow but they're predicted to get 3-5" more than I am. The roads there were already covered around 1:30.
