The last couple of days we have had temps in the 30s-40s but there are still a few patches of snow/ice mixture that the sun hasn't reached. And it won't get a chance to because our forecast is calling for snow tonight & lots of it! Here is the part I'm worried about: HEAVY SNOW & BLOWING & DRIFTING SNOW. HAZARDOUS TRAVEL DUE TO SNOW-PACKED ROADS & LOW VISIBILITY... ACCUMULATIONS: 6-10 INCHES. OTHER IMPACT: DANGEROUSLY COLD WITH A MINIMUM WINDCHILL FROM -5 TO -10 DEGREES!
Yes, another Winter storm is about to pass through Ardmore & everyone is in panic mode. Last week after having a few barely above zero days with ice & snow everywhere our stores didn't receive their usual shipments. Wal-Mart was out of eggs, cheese, yogurt, water... you know? The important things!! So now, everyone has been using these few days to stock up & since we have the only Wal-Mart for miles & miles, everyone comes here. No bueno for this mommy who writes lists & still forgets things. I feel like Wal-Mart is my 2nd home! That or the Library (oh my, I just sounded like my mom!)
The other night we went to our favorite restaurant here in town called Two Frogs & this is what we discovered. One of their dessert items: cotton candy.... a huge heapin' plate of cotton candy & it was GOOD! (no, Hunter did NOT eat all of this by himself haha he had lots of help... *cough ME cough*)
Avery turned 14 months yesterday (Feb. 7) I just can't believe how big she has gotten. I know I've said that since she was tiny, but it is really starting to sink in now that she is becoming more & more independent. She follows Hunter everywhere! It is so cute!! He gets so frustrated but I just remind him how much his sissy loves him & that he is her role model... he likes that a lot :)
So, hope everyone is staying warm. I will update on our weather tomorrow! Have a nice Tuesday night :) 
Oh Meagan! That sounds really cold even for Montana! I always have several items pushed way back in my pantry for emergency eating only: instant oatmeal (that nasty, sugary kind that the kids really love- bleck), packets of hot chocolate, spaghetti, (or a couple of boxes of mac and cheese), a couple of cans of stewed tomatoes (to mix with the mac and cheese)....stuff like that. Then if you can't get out for whatever reason (Wal-Mart sold out of all the good stuff, unexpected stomach flu, flat tire.....) your good to go.....at least for dinner and maybe a breakfast.
ReplyDeleteGood luck and stay warm!
