Snowed In (for now)

In about an hour from right now, we were scheduled to be stopping in Nashville for lunch. Instead, we're staring out our windows (still in Bluffton) looking at this:
Because of weather and travel concerns for everybody, our trip has been delayed by one day. We're now leaving at 6 a.m. on MONDAY morning as opposed to Sunday. It's kind of disappointing that we'll miss a day in New Orleans, but it's probably the best option. We could have delayed our departure just a few hours instead of waiting an extra day, but we couldn't have waited more than four hours or so because that would have meant us arriving in the city somewhere in the vicinity of 2 a.m. or later. For the sake of the drivers, this would not be ideal.

So we wait for the snowstorm to pass - it's scheduled to be out of the area by tonight and things should be traversable come Monday morning. In the meanwhile, that leaves us plenty of time to, well, sit around. Or make snow angels. Or snow angles. Can anyone say isoscoles?

Oh - one last thing: here's a photo of most of our group. It's from our final meeting on Thursday over lunch:
Bummer for the snow, but hooray for leaving (albeit on an adjusted schedule)!
