Anticipation

It's happening.

The sky has that certain look about it.

I can feel it in the air.

Some say they can smell it.

Others say they can even taste it.

It has been the topic of conversation for days now.

The highways and byways have been salted and brined.

This white-ish substance seems to interfere with the normal speed of traveling vehicles.

Or maybe they are just practicing...or something.

It's really quite amazing what the power of suggestion can do.
Some of the cars are already traveling at a snail's pace.....preparing for the real thing.

*********************************************

Every local TV channel that can possibly be viewed in the area are all on alert.

The reporters are strategically placed at various locations throughout the viewing area.

There is 24 hour coverage for this momentous, impending event.

Announcements have been made (the night before) that all area schools will be closing...

...three hours early the next day...

...and for the next two weeks few days, they will be on a two-hour delay.

*********************************************

It's amazing...this strange phenomenon.

Out of the blue, bread and milk just disappear off the shelves at the grocery.

Every gas station within a 100 mile radius has long lines of vehicles streaming out onto roadways.

What is this rare and strange occurrence?

Snow...in the south.

Don't blink.

You just might miss it!

I am a snow lover and must truly savor every flake...

... and I even know how to drive in it :)
