The Weather Forecast for Our Departure to Honduras
Well, this was the weather forecast as of yesterday for our time of departure for Rus Rus on Thursday very early morning. Our little town, Graham, is 20 minutes east of Greensboro so you can see we're smack dab in the thick of things for this storm. It's getting even worse today as they are predicting up to 12 inches of snow in "The Piedmont Triad" region of which Graham is part. Even if we can make the drive to the airport, will the airport be open? And if the airport is open, will any jets be flying?
We are thinking through all of the possibilities. Atlanta is already "in it" so driving down there would not be beneficial. How long will it take the southern states who are not typically as well-prepared for such storms to get airports open and airplanes flying again? Who knows? We're flying from Raleigh-Durham to Atlanta so both affect our ability to travel. The weather maps are already indicating weather delays are in effect at both airports. There are many considerations including travel once we would get to Honduras. Once the multiple IHS medical brigades get going down in Honduras (our Rus Rus team is one of eight different medical teams) Wes, our missionary pilot, will be overwhelmed with flights already committed for those teams which may preclude his ability to come and get us into Rus Rus if we have to travel later into the weekend. So. What happens now? We prepare. We pack. We wait to see if or when we can go. So pack I will! Please pray for wisdom as we make decisions concerning this trip.
In the mean time, I guess we'll hunker down, get our bread and milk and enjoy a good snow day! Yee Haw!!! Maybe we'll hang out a sign up sheet for the use of our shovel!
Alamance County Bread & Milk Alternative
Keith just returned from his "bread & milk" run with some alternative emergency food. There are advantages to living in the South! One of which is close proximity to Daily Donut!
Now that'll keep us alive should the power go out! That is a full-sized, raised donut covered with maple icing and topped with real bacon. But if that's not enough, Keith purchased the monster Apple Fritter (a small portion of which is visible on the left) in case of a "worst case scenario."
Thanks for your prayers! We'll keep you posted as we know what's happening!

Bet the dogs aren't even asking to go out on this trip! :)
Hey Janet,
No, the dog's aren't asking to go along. They like snow, staying home, and not getting too warm. Here they have heat (natural gas) and when it's warm, AC. Down in Rus Rus they'd have HEAT from the sun, humidity from the jungle and no AC. Winter down there "drops" the temps into the low 80's. Tucker and Tanner would miss Karen, but ultimately do okay hanging out with me here in Graham.
