That. Is officially. Adorable. What does it eat and where do I adopt one?

not feeling so bad about the mass panic in my area, in the deep south of the north american tectonic plate....one snowflake in the sky, and they all drive in the ditch!
Even where we are - in the mountains of North Carolina, where people really should know better (you would THINKS!), "snow flurries" might as well be "the sky is falling". The hospital system I work for actually has an entire protocol - how to get the personnel in, where they can stay if they get snowed in, etc.

My first February in the Adirondacks, a bit over 30 years ago.
Temperatures where in the 20s
Then there was a snow storm that dropped 3 feet of snow
Then there was a freezing rain storm that melted about 6 inches of the snow
That left us with 2.5 feet of snow with a 2 inch coating of ice on top
Then for the rest of the month the temperature was at -20F not including windchill which was around -30F to -40F
:O

It amazes me when this happens. A lot of people have lived in the northeast their entire lives, and yet still can't handle the snow.
What really amazes me is the folks down here who think they know how to drive in the snow, and are certain that means the rules of physics don't apply to their SUV. They're easy to spot: they're the ones in the ditch.

last year we had a snow day, they called the nurses in early, and set up sleeping quarters for them...
but we don't have snow plows...at all..

(I wish I had saved the picture from the 'light dusting' though: somebody actually turned the sand truck over!
Over, on the side, sand spilling out!
BILL!!! YOU HAD ONE JOB!!!

Well, once again my house if on the line between 2 predicted snow totals.....5 to 7 and 6 to 12....which always means at my house it is 5 to 12 inches. Go just a couple miles south of me and they are solid 5 to 7...go just a couple miles north of me and they are solid 6 to 12

It was only 60F today. I had to wear a light jacket!
