Default Best chance

I'd say Mulberry since it is farthest North.

Chicago area has about 4 inches of snow on the ground as of today, and another 2 to 6 inches predicted to fall tonight and tomorrow morning. It has not been above 32 degrees for the past week, so I'm betting Chicago will have a white Christmas this year. Lucky us.

Looks like VT is going to get it too. We're just about ready for our VT/ME dinners at Paradise and more quality time in TV

It will not be me, as I will be back in Sunny warm Florida by then...BUT, yesterday I drove to Rochester NY. I vowed that i would never return to western NY in the winter, but two of the dearest new grandbabies turned my normally "normal" wife into a "Grandma Monster" who HAD to see these new babies ASAP.

It was a strange drive. First, I noticed the lack of Palm trees. Then I noticed the lack of green and all the trees looking dead and gray. The radio started talking about "get your furnace and boilers serviced before you freeze".

I was the only car with Florida plates going NORTH. Soon, all the cars were dirty, gray and rusty. Gas prices were in the $3.60+ range. Snowplows were everywhere. Then We hit snow. Cars were off the road. Potholes, rust and bulky coats and gloves, etc. 18 degrees.

I just got in from snowblowing my son's driveway. Rock salt on the walks, etc. Something I never thought I'd do again. Boy...the power of grandbabies!

Weather permitting, I'll be back next week to palm trees and pickleball...

Your grandchildren are super cute and no doubt worth granting your wife's wishes, although that did seem like a white knuckle road trip north once the snow hit.

We are expecting another snowstorm beginning later today, but have no plans to venture out.

The memories of those warm and cuddly, adorable little babies will last for quite awhile. Thank goodness for skyping.

Safe trip back, hopefully on dry roads.
