Curious as to how those south of us experienced this latest storm that
worked up the coast yesterday. We got wacked pretty hard up here.
Many schools are closed, trees and limbs are down all over the place and
power is out for about 93 percent of the affected areas. Ours was out
since about 1 am but had been restored by mid morning. Little Honda
generator to the rescue again to keep the refrigerator cold along with
running a few lights.

It was breezy in SC Saturday, then we had a 70% chance of rain overnight into Sunday. Got up Sunday morning to no rain at all, but plenty of wind all day. The temps dropped as the day went on, then down to 36 degrees last night, with 32 in some outlying areas. By Friday it's back up to 80.



That's colder than anything we've seen up here so far this fall. Maybe
I should cross South Carolina off the "maybe" list. :-)

I once spent a winter in South Carolina courtesy of the US Army. It
wasn't exactly tropical but temps were almost always above freezing
and we only had one very light dusting of snow. You would have
thought it was a blizzard however based on how people were acting.

Ah, Ft. Jackson. Yes, we can get a light snow and everything shuts down. No bread or milk in the stores, school lets out, and everyone goes home. It's a little crazy, but you have to remember that there are no snow tires, no snow plows, and no salt. The DOT will sand the overpasses and bridges, but that's about it. Oh, and most people don't have a clue how to drive in snow.

The quattro on the Audi eats it up.
