Thanks, also,to Dot and Tom, who were instrumental in the success of this blogging event. You should definitely come fly with us!Fortunately, the temperatures didn't dip this morning as low as the forecast was hinting that it might. When I saw the 30°, I shivered... even before the temperature plunged, just in anticipation of more cold weather. It did get down to 34°, which offered some light frost, and with the drastic drop caused some intense fog, especially in the form of evaporation or steam fog over the small bodies of water and the river passing through town (which continues to recede--hallelujah!!!) It was so thick at one point that I could hardly see the car in front of me. Unfortunately, as is common with winter days in south Georgia, unlike what we experienced earlier in the month (the solid cold), our mornings tend to approach freezing with daytime temperatures quickly rebounding. It's a common occurrence for there to be a span of 30° between the high and the low. The complication arises when we try to dress for that, especially children standing out at school bus stops. No winter coats, so we layer them, but by the time recess rolls around, they have shed most of their layers (God only knows where they ended up), and by the time they leave school, they forgot they even wore a sweatshirt and jacket over their short sleeved shirt which they will be wearing home.

I shouldn't complain too much. At least we aren't in line for what TWC has dubbed, the "Triple Threat". With Winter Storm Advisories spanning from New Mexico to North Carolina, including an ice, sleet and freezing rain threat, in addition to the snow, they've got a rough road ahead, with likely power outages and road closures.Collection of maps for this weather event.
Better them than me...
