Terry had one great day before her meetings started and three very nice days while they were inside. But that all ended last night and into this morning. It started to rain. Not normal every day kind of rain, we're talking monsoon, get ready to build an ark and batten down the hatches weather. All through the southeast. As a result the Atlanta airport started canceling flights. Especially if you were headed up the coast toward NYC. Some of her ladies were up all night trying to get flights that would get them home. Some--one bound for Richmond and one for Philly-gave up on the plane and got tickets on AmTrack. (There's a story about the difficult time they had finding the Savannah Railroad Station at 6 AM, but Terry did get them to the train on time. I understand they had a whole minute before it left the station.)
Terry drove from Savannah, GA to Sumter, SC in the little yellow Aveo and through a downpour predicted to produce 3-4 inches of rain. It's a good thing she plans on staying with her cousins for a few days, however. Sumter and Columbia may get 1-3 inches of snow tonight. The Aerie will get 0 inches to a dusting--maybe.
Terry's down there in the southeast side of the snow map in the light blue and the Aerie is up there on the border between PA and NY just where the light blue ends.
Now, that doesn't mean I won't be quite a bit colder. That's the reason I was out splitting firewood this afternoon and filling the rack in the garage. The forecaster on the radio said something about 15 degrees being the high temperature tomorrow and a wind chill tomorrow night in the negative range. I'm okay with that as long as the snow stays to the east. Besides filling the bird feeders, I've got nothing I need to do outside anyway.
