The forecast says up to six inches, but I’m hoping for no more than three. This stuff isn’t supposed to end until early tomorrow morning, so I won’t have any idea what I’m dealing with until I wake up in the morning. I’ll be doing the dance of joy if this system slides north and we get little accumulation. One thing’s for sure, the wind is a killer right now, and it needs to die down significantly in the next twelve hours or it could be a real problem. I’m planning for the worst and hoping for the best.

I'm soooooo proud of you!! I know you will do great and you will feel so awesome knowing you did it even in 6 inches of snow. Just think of the "stickin'-to-it-even-though-it-isn't-ideal" lesson you are teaching your daughter and all your hula fans.
You are awesome!!

one of many very impressed fans
PS. Be sure to throw a snowball at anyone who passes you. Tell them it's from janjanmom and you are not to be held responsible in any way.
GO HULA!!!

Yeah. I wouldn't forget that mental evaluation when this is all over.
That being said, I wish you the best of luck and I admire you for working so hard toward a goal. A not so easy goal. Okay, a goal that would totally kill me.
I can't wait to hear how it goes!
You go girl! I'm praying for your safety and stamina and for you to have a deep sense of enjoyment. I think fun isn't what I'll ask for, although, all things are possible with God. I'm dreading my morning. It's 27 here at 8am with a wind chill factor of 18. Grandaughter #1 has a soccer game at 10! Brrrr. Vicky
Those are some mighty big snowflakes.
You better pack a helmet.
