The 2014 "Blizzard" of the South

Our town in SC shut down for 2 days because of imminent "snow." I heard it was supposed to get to almost 2 inches! (can you smell the sarcasm?) This is what everyone was like:


This is what we actually got (pictures taken in our back yard the morning after):

No snow for Oliver Queen



Yep, that's it. That's all Mother Nature had in her for us. Obviously, things were expected to be a lot worse than this, but the amount of panic that snowballed (forgive me for that) out of control was ridiculous. But, that's just how we do things here in the South. Over-the-top, or not at all.


Also, just for comparison, here are pictures of snow that we got back in 2010. There was no shut-down of the South that year, despite there actually being enough to stick:

So, it might snow....



...and when it "might" snow down here in SC, everything shuts down, literally. Alaska got off of work early today, and does not have to return until Thursday (he works on one of our military bases, so, government) I look forward to seeing if all this hoopla is for naught. And if we do get some snow, well, it be will interesting to see how Oliver Queen reacts to it. Let the waiting begin!
