SNOW!!!(again)

This is the THIRD snow day this year for school. We got a pretty big dumping here in the Charlotte area. They havent seen this much snow since February of 2004, when a giant storm system stalled right over the Queen City and dropped about a foot.
We personally(here at my house), got about 3 inches, but in other areas of the city we are looking at more.

Down the road in South carolina there was an accident on I-85. At last look the backup from this accident was 20 miles long.
 People are just pinned in there, they cant go anywhere, so they have been stuck on I-85 in their cars for hours.  That would totally suck.

Day classes at my school have been cancelled. The night classes are to be announced, and if they do decide to have night classes I wonder if they will have the competition as planned.
Today was the local competition that I am entered in. If I win I go to Nationals for my school and have a chance to win some money and a trip. I am so ready to get it done and over with. 

snow, I bite my thumb at you.

Hee hee. I can understand this being the worst day for classes to be cancelled, but how much you want to bet that all of the Harris Teeter's are going to sell out of bottled water?

I think this is the first time you've gotten more snow than us!!! Only an inch and a half or so due to lake effect (I HATE lake effect snow).

Hon, you're gonna rock that competition!!!

once my husband and I got stuck in Virginia in a traffic jam (not snow) due to an accident...for 5 hours.
Let me just tell you, after 5 hours most people need to pee. At least I did. There was no WAY I was peeing with about 200 cars in view. Just when i thought i couldn't last another minute, we started moving...and i made it to a bathroom, thank you very much.
i always think about that when I see big delays and backups on the news...I think, I bet all of those people are about to pee their pants.

It pays to keep a "to go" cup in the car "to go in".

Love your blog...it's in the 70's here in Houston. I'm sorry you are so cold....
