It’s sleeting in Cottage Hill with a few flakes mixed in and spitting rain. Be careful, and make sure your elderly and disabled neighbors have heat this weekend!
We took some of our sugar white sand to Corpus Christi, TX when I was a kid. My cousins took us it was sugar not sand until they tasted it. Nope not blondes but so funny.
Met a man the other day. He told me that he took his newly wedded wife to the panhandle years ago and she was complaining about the heat and humidity of the panhandle, when they came up on the crystal white beach sand and exclaimed ” Look they have snow!
Yep she was blonde!
If this was Nebraska weather we would take it!
How about -20 and KKKKKKOLD! with 1-2 inches of snow!
even the farm cats are holed up!
