Bundle Up & Hunker Down...

www.wsoctv.com

This is certainly not the best looking forecast for the beginning of this week. Snow and ice becomes a BIG deal in Charlotte...hunker down with some hot cocoa (spiked if you need it!), some good DVDs and some good snacks. If the above estimations are correct, the roads (and power lines) will not be pretty in the QC. I am not a crafty mommy, but even I will will do crafts with the kids on days like this. You can try THIS, or THESE, If it actually does snow, and you can collect it before it's a frozen sheet of ice, you MUST make "snow cream". There are lots of recipes, but I like the good ol' clean snow mixed with sweetened condensed milk (add that to your snow day shopping list)...nothing better.

Blessings,
