Well, it seems as if North Carolina is expecting another major "winter event" in the next several hours. I must say I don't ever recall a winter like this. We even had a white Christmas! I believe this will be the 5th or 6th time our area has seen the white stuff this winter season.
They are calling for up to 3 inches, but more of a possibility of ice...which I hate. I remember one year as a child when we had a terrible icestorm. The power went out on a Sunday night, and we didn't get power back on until that next Saturday. Peanut butter and jelly sandwhiches were on the menu for a full week...and it sucked. We were running little power off our generator to help keep the fridge semi-cool and running the rest to our electric fire place. We all snuggled up in the living room for nights trying to stay warm. Being hungry and cold is not ideal when your a child and don't understand why. However, my sister and I made some great memories playing in the snow that storm. Somehow we were able to stay out in the snow all day just in time to come in before dark...we never complained.
Now, as an adult, I would not be happy with that situation. Especially a pregnant adult. I would definetly not be able to survive a week without power. Maybe I could fake labor so we could stay in a warm hospital room?!?!
Until then...we have milk and cookies (i mean bread) all stocked up!
