North to Rhode Island.

The mayhem begins!

With all the shuffling of our family this past year, we decided to head to Rhode Island to visit the northern contingent of our clan.  Looking at the weather, a clear week was forecast and long term predictions looked good!  (Remember the boat parade?)

Well, we arrived on the 23rd a beautiful day and spent Kas' birthday (the 24th) with him and Christmas day with the grandkids - fantastic.   I bemoaned the fact that Knoxville (our new home) and Winston-Salem (our old home place) were both having a white Christmas while we were in New England and hadn't seen a flake. 

Sunday morning arrived with a dusting of snow and a Blizzard Warning from the weather folk.  Monday morning brought a foot of new snow and a lesson to be careful what you wish for.

We're safe and warm but now looking for a weather window to head South in.   We may have to hug the coast and cross North Carolina to get home.
