East-coasters: how did everyone make out in the snow storm?
Here in Philly we got about 24 inches - more than we had all last winter! This broke a 100 year old record for snow in December.
I'm lucky - I'd already planned to be off from work today so I only have to go out when Buddy needs to. He's loving the snow. (Bud pics)
If you go out - be careful!
Take care all, I'm off to make pounds and pounds of fudge!!

I'm from California and I've lived in Levittown for 15 years, I was almost stuck at work for the weekend, staff at the health care facility I work at were unable to get in because of all the snow. It took me 1 1/2 hours to dig out my truck and 1 hour to drive 11 miles to work!

Raleigh survived the “Great Blizzard” getting just enough white stuff Friday to make us say “Oh, that’s pretty” then rush to the grocer to stock up on bread, milk and beer. It was gone by Saturday midmorning. NYC was nasty Saturday night; at least by my standards (keep in mind I’m southern so we gauge snow differently.) However, I ran into Antonio Banderas in Times Square and he bought me coffee and hailed me a cab…which was AWESOME… so I didn’t really care about the weather or my cancelled flight plan at that point.
Quinn, Bud appears to be having a blast in all “ya’lls” snow. By the way-when can I expect my fudge to arrive?:-)
Heading to Key West to thaw…. Warm wishes to all. T.

I could never figure out why people run to the store to buy milk and bread when a snow storm is coming. Can you shed some light on that for me?
You sure do a lot of traveling, girl. I wish I could do that, but I still need to work for a living.

Lizzy, I'm not sure about the bread and milk thing either. I think it just gives people a warm fuzzy feeling to know if they get stuck inside for days, they atleast have bread and won't starve(?) We do the same thing for hurricanes except in that case, it's bread and water... nothing else just bread and water. I have no clue why...it's just what the news tells us to do to ensure our survival:-)
