As is typical, the forecast for the major snow event has lessened both in severity and possibility over the course of the week. Of course, that did not put a damper on the preparations Memphians make for snow I wrote about yesterday nor on the ever optimistic hopes of our children. It has, however, put a damper on my own dreams of a cozy day at home with no carpool, piano lesson, errands, etc.
Visions of giving my GPS a well-earned day off tomorrow were dancing merrily in my head this afternoon as I sat in the blizzard temperatures waiting to pick the kids up from school today.
Alas, as I write, snow chances have lessened by at least 20% and if we get any it won't be a wintry-wonderland of 3-6 inches, but a mere dusting of half an inch with winds blowing it swiftly away.
That is life here south of Tipton County; all the hopes of snow, very little of the reality. Still, no one in Memphis will regret having a few extra frozen pizzas lying around. One does not have to be snowed in to enjoy such fine eating!
