We sure do. Our county is under a Level 3 snow emergency, making it illegal to drive for safety reasons. The only thing keeping us from calling it "the blizzard of the century" is the fact that the wind is about 10mph short. The county has called off deputy sheriff patrols, and the snow plows have pulled out because they can't see where the road is. Can't plow if they're stuck in the ditch. :wink:
The snowfall is supposed to be around 15", but drifts are supposed to be up to five feet tall. The ones right up against the house are chest high.

It ain't really all that cold, but the wind will kill ya. The snow makes it feel like bullets on your face.

Stayin' inside and running the still to warm up the house. Makin' a spirit run on the wheat liquor I've been working on all winter. 8)

I feel for Y'all, just stay safe. Don't know how we missed any. Snowing in ATL this morning which means we usually about 4 hours behind. Went north instead. 2" will shut us down. :oops:

I hate that crap. Love to sit on the back porch about 10pm sipping a beer while swatting mosquitoes and it still about 65 degree. Come on global warming!!!

Makin' a spirit run on the wheat liquor I've been working on all winter.
Is there a thread on this?

Wheat is the next thing i'm playing with in the next week or so.

I'd sure like a pointer to your experimental/proven recipe or a new thread about it. 8)
