I live in central KY. It has been snowing here for about 3 hours. It is so windy that I can't tell how much we have gotten so far. We are in the 7-11 inch accumulation band. This will be on top of the 3 inches that we got Wednesday.
I went to Kroger yesterday morning before work and made good choices in what I purchased. Planning on making soup.
How many of you are in the path of this storm? I don't have to be anywhere until church on Sunday.
Be safe and stay warm!

    I'm no where near you but I know what those kind of snow storms are like. Enjoy your soup, stay in if you can, stay warm and stay safe. I hear spring is only 8 weeks away!

    We got 8-10 inches with 3 foot drifts. I am so impressed with our county road crews. They have done a great job.

    I live in Maryland and we got about 2 feet of snow, hasn't been this bad since 2010, but we managed through praise God. Now for the thawing and it is suppose to freeze tonight so, oh joy, we are going to have to deal with ice tomorrow. Please Lord just don't let me fall.

    I know exactly how you feel and the fear of falling on the ice and snow. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers that you get to where you need to go and home safely. Just be very careful and if there is someone around that can help don't be afraid to ask them for some assistance.

    I'm glad you did ok and that your daughter was there to help you. I certainly have a strong fear of falling so I know exactly how you feel. Continuing good thoughts and prayers for your safety until we get through this winter.
