Heavy snowfall is nothing new to K — she grew up with sights like this:
Snowfall after snowfall all packed up, settled, and repacked to show just how much snow has fallen in the last few days.
We never get snow like that here, but rumor has it, we could get significant snow beginning tomorrow afternoon:
A winter storm warning and an ice storm warning for parts of our area is in effect until Monday morning.
- A winter storm warning indicates that heavy snow of at least 6 inches in 12 hours, or at least 8 inches in 24 hours, is expected. It can also be issued if sleet accumulation will be at least half an inch.
- An ice storm warning indicates that ice accumulation of at least 1/4 inch is expected. (Source)

So we’re all hopeful, but cautiously so.
“I flushed some ice cubes down the toilet,” L informed us?
“Huh?”
“Yeah, and I’m going to sleep with a spoon under my pillow — superstitions for snow!”
We all do what we can.
