It worked!

It looks like the ice storm is over - we ended up with about an inch of ice. Just enough to be pretty and not hurt the trees to bad. The main roads have been treated, and the kids are home from school along with hubby!
We have until early afternoon to get ready for round 2, which is 8-18 inches of snow! And here I apologized yesterday for taking a wrong turn - and getting the wrong weather. Geez, almost like a real weatherman!
Hubby has decided that we don't have enough bread for 4 days (or 5, 6 or 7) so we must venture out in the ice and cold to get it. He just wants to go out. Get a feel for the storm as they say.
He'll be pushing snow tomorrow. His boss's brother owns a trucking company and asked if he'd pushed snow for him. Heck yeah! When you're choices are staying home, couped up with the wife and kiddies or out playing in the snow? Hmmmmm, I wonder what he'll pick? Course he'll say he's doing it for the money, one for the gipper, all for one and one for all kind of thing. Yadda, yadda, yadda. I know the real reason is to be out in the snow. He loves it. He'd rather play in the snow year round then work in the horrible heat and humidity. His reasoning is he can always get warm, but there are days you just can't get cool.
I have a big pot of ham and beans on already and fixin's for a batch of cornbread at the helm so I can sit back, watch the storm and relax. My job here is done.

You are such a copycat! You looked in my cupboard and figured I was going to make ham and beans, so you have to have ham and beans. :p

You know what else is good with that? Put your ham and beans over some rice.

Chili is next on the menu here, what about you?

Snow, I've heard of that stuff. We only get ice here. Dammit!
