Bad weather headed our way

Here it is Sat. morning and there is a snow warning.

Right now it is raining and is not cold out at all BUT in a few hours they say we will be getting rain, sleet and sow and then according to the weather channel there will be a "transitioning over to snow". What i get out of that is it is going to snow.

The south just is not prepared for this. Usually we lose electricity for days. The temp is supposed to get down to 22 degrees. That is not real cold when your heater works. If the power goes out, we are fortunate that we do have a small gas heater that we can use to stay warm in the day and at night we snuggle under lots of blankets. But that temp will kill people that is not prepared for the cold.

My dd and g-son is coming today to spend the night. The baby will be better off with us here than he would be in dd's house. They do not have alternate heating.; I hope that this storm does not happen. The last time we lost power it was for 5 days. I got up early and did my devotions, exercised and started preparing things that we could eat if the power did go off for a few days. Hubby and I and dd and g-son will need to be fed.

Please just keep us all in your prayers. I know that with all of you that is used to this kind of weather I probably sound like I am over reacting but I promise you that if it gets that bad we will not be able to get on the highway to go to the grocery store.

We do have town water so I don't have to get much of that up, although I will get some collected. We don't have snow plows, so ambulances can't get around.

I'm telling you the south practically shuts down when we get and inch of snow. Have a good day and send us warm thoughts.

Send us warm thoughts and prayers
Have a great day
