We are in New England and at this point of winter, we're tougher. And we are dying to get away!!!
So, since the storm is on Thursday, I expect by Friday, everyone will be keeping their plans to get away. We are half full for the weekend.
I understand in the South, things are different and snow storms are different. Hope everyone in the South is warm and cozy and where they need to be!
 
Mary, here it's going to be 45 degrees after the snow. And they say rain in DC. So I imagine the roads will be clear for Friday.

Around here... we'll have a full house. Chances of cancellation? Not very likely. We are a hardy bunch.

Yes, that repeats every year here. First snow, even if it's just 1/2 inch, everything shuts down, everybody rushes out to buy milk and bread like they will be trapped at home for weeks.
But by this point of the winter everybody remembers what they learned last year, that they can still get around with snow on the ground and life, and the economy, must go on.
Now, ice? That's another story entirely! Snow tires aren't allowed here, so ice on the roads means nobody leaves the house.
 
For the first time ever on Valentine's day I have a full house. I blame it on the brutal winter and think my fellow Hoosiers just want to take a break from the weather
 
We are calmly awaiting the calls to cancel. It's why I no longer give free roses and chocolates this weekend. I kept getting stuck with flowers I don't like.
I've got something non perishable this year!

We have champagne splits and red Hershey's Kisses. No harm if we have to keep them.

Hope they aren't from up here... our chocolate recipe is different.
 
Just checked where my guests are coming from this weekend. One from IN, 2 from north GA and the rest closer by and not an issue. I am sure the Hoosiers will be determined. Hopefully the conditions will improve in N GA tomorrow making the Friday drive a non issue.
And not sure if our local weatherman had been nipping something prior to the late news, but he has temps in the 70's for early next week. - Wishful thinking, just maybe!

FREE roses and chocolates...NO Way on V'day. That is up to the guys to give.
 
My Friday/Saturday package cancelled via e-mail at 11:30 last night - they broke up. Hmmmmmmm.
However - Mr Reconciliation IS coming. I would have taken bets HE would cancel - nope - he called today to see if it was OK for them to arrive around 7:30 tomorrow. Me: you mean tonight. I have you booked for tonight. Him: no, tomorrow - is that a problem? Me: no that will be fine. 5 minutes later, he calls back to say he had the dates mixed up, it IS tonight.
I just put 2 splits of sparkling and goblets in the room and silk rose petals on the bed. AND I had a teddy bear in a basket with some candy that I put on the bed for her also. This guy needs all the help he can get! Will do the cider, goblets, and rose petals for my 2 rooms Saturday also.
 
I-81 is closed in this section, and planes are cancelled, and one room cancelled of the three for tonight.
I spoke to all of them yesterday, they acted like "if they could just land they would be okay" the roads are a giant traffic gnarl, even a fatality. They ask you to STAY OFF the roads, not go on them unless and emergency.
Meanwhile, here at the homestead:
Meet Dude
and youngest daughter and again
and both, the whole fam and me

We have guests we're not sure will be able to leave! But no incoming guests have canceled.

They called they will be here. in 3 or so hours. It is 7pm. I tried really hard to convince them. I-81 is shut down in parts, 13 mile back up in Pulaski. I asked which interstate or hwy they are taking? "Whatever one the GPS chooses..."
So they have to park out front and climb up the snowy steps, the back is not plowed. I expect them to roll in super late...but I know it is for a good reason, so I can't blame them!

The same thing happened to us last weekend! Freak snow storm, roads closed, chains required, shouldn't drive warnings! I tried to talk guests from coming and we would happily reschedule them...2 rooms came anyway. I worried the whole time on Friday and then again on Sunday when they left. Was hoping they made it home!
