Well, according to the Charlotte weather man, we can expect at least 4" snow when we awake in the morning. That called for a mad dash to the grocery store this afternoon (along with everybody else in the city of Charlotte)...and not for toilet paper, milk and bread. Oh no, chili ingredients and homemade chicken-vegetable soup ingredients were purchased, along with the makings for some of the best chocolate chip/peanut butter chip cookies you've ever tasted. I've never understood why people purchase just those 3 items listed above when there's the possibility of being snowed in. Scott sits back and laughs as he listens to the hysterics of people with just the thought of a snowflake. You see, he's from Rochester, NY, and nothing closed down unless there was at least a foot of snow on the ground... (1/20/09 update: he said nothing closed down period...unless there were 40 mile winds and a blizzard with zero visibility - that's why people up North are grumpy...that's my own personal comment :-)
Well, it's time to do some cooking and baking and settle down for a long winter's nap. Before I go, I'll share the cookie recipe with you...Enjoy!

These cookies sound good. I'll have to try them soon.
When I lived in northern Michigan during jr. high they didn't close things up there either. We would have men riding snowmobiles down our street to get to work. The only time school was cancelled was if the snow was drifting too bad on the roads for the snowplows to keep up with for the buses to get through.
