This photo was taken in 1949. My cousins and I remember the porch after our grandfather walled it in, added a door and big screen windows.

From January Thaw to January Blizzard

And really, that's about all I have to say about that. Seems like it was only last week - because it was - that our last 7 inch snow mostly melted. I didn't even take any pictures of that one, I've got better snow pictures from prior years. Today we've had just enough freezing rain to make a few slick spots on the pavements and motivate us to put down ice melt chemicals a couple of times. No threat to tree limbs or power lines here.

Tomorrow, the snow will begin after 3 a.m. and turn into blizzard conditions around 11 a.m. Depending on who you listen to, by the time this is all done on Wednesday, we could have:
from eight to ten inches, or
from ten to twelve, or
from ten to fifteen, with some areas just southeast of here getting maybe 16 to 18 inches. And half way across the state in Columbia, they could have 20 inches or more of snow.

We're all stocked up, and there's plenty to keep us occupied at home.

I don't think any of us are going anywhere tomorrow.
