Snow

[panik]

In North Carolina; about an inch or two. You'd've thought it was Armageddon.

Really, it was quite delightful. The staff at the hotel were leaping around like children. The two shuttle-bus guys were throwing snowballs out front. They closed some roads, they closed schools. It was almost as bad as when it snows in Britain. ::G::

This jet lag is a curious animal. I thought I was all over it. I went out with the lovely
snycock again last night (the night before we went out to a great veggie restaurant and I failed to finish my dinner) and had a very groovy time chatting with a group of her friends and failing to finish my starter (never made it to the main course (o:). I had my Tarot read, which was mostly glowing and pretty and nice.

I felt fine all night, though I'd seriously thought I wasn't going to make it, having peeled m'self from the bed just half an hour before, forcing myself into the shower with a 'nnnrghh, wha's hap'n'n dude' way about me. I was OK then. but still managed to sleep a full 6 hours before my 5.45 wake up this morning for the 7am breakfast meeting, feeling hale, bouncing and chipper until I blanked out totally at one-ish, collapsed into my bed in a state of some confusion and have been more or less solidly asleep ever since.

Tea helps. God bless travel kettles.

In other news, the schenanigans in the CBB house have made page 8 of USA Today, and I hear it's a tad breezy back home.

Stay warm, my babies

Hee! That sounds like my mum. OTOH, when it snows in Yorkshire, it snows - proper drifts up the back of the house kinda thing. Here, it barely dusted the ground. It amused me muchly for the hour or so it stuck around. ::G::

And we are forecast the white stuff for Monday, whether anything actually comes of it...

Glad you are having a good time despite the jet lag, and have tea. A Brit without tea just doesn't bear thinking about!

::hugs you mightily:: (as I haven't seen you for ages!)

Ooh! Snow by the time I get home, maybe? So long as it stays white and pretty, doesn't affect the power lines and doesn't delay the flight. (o:

::hugs you a big one back - and it will be a VERY big one if I keep on scarfing the artichoke dip the way I have been::

oh, you know Britain, if it snows it will probably last for a few hours with not enough to make a snowman, but enough to cause everything to grind to a halt, cause absolute chaos and be gone the next morning in a huge pool of slush and more flooding because we haven't had enough water already!

For your own safety, put the dip down, step away from the dip!

LOL One year when I was in college, we had a nasty, evil ice storm that *looked* like snow. If I can find the pics, I'll post them someday.
