Snow in Indiana




Omigosh it snowed in Indiana today, our first snow of winter, a whole 1/4 inch of snow. It was very beautiful but as usual, everyone was in a panic. The weathermen were all in a tizzy talking, talking, talking about the "road conditions" and how we should all be careful! It cracks me up. I could still see my yard when I walked outside. It wasn't like we even got a 1/2 inch!
Even funnier, the broadcast from Kentucky and they didn't even get 1/4 inch of snow, they mostly received rain. I am amazed year after year that we repeatedly act like fools when the first snow begins to fall from the sky and we act as if the sky itself is falling to the ground.
New England, New York, the get dumped on by feet of snow and they still go to work, school and I'm sure the general public continues to have a social life. Here in Indiana the world just stops - Oh, except the the grocery where there is a rush to get the normal bread and milk because you must have that when it's going to snow!
I love our town!
