We got hit by our annual snow storm last night. 2-3 inches at my house and with a temperature of 18 it is not going away soon. Glad I went yesterday and got the pipes cleaned out.
VM - mine.
jackslash - it is when you don't have many snow plows, sand trucks or experienced snow removal workers. Too expensive to buy to use once a year.
Huntsman - Yes. Glad I went yesterday and got my pipes cleaned out before the snow storm made travel today unadvisable. Yesterday ended on a gross out.
The number of car crashes in Atlanta metro area is already above 500. Over 70 in my county alone. Now that the sun has been up a while, people will get restless and head out and make it even worse.
^^^Ah the advantages to living in Floriduh Make fun of us all you want, we don’t get snow other than flurries every couple of years and as far as I can remember it never sticks.
According to the GA navigator all interstates are open no delays. I suspect that after dark some place will freeze over from the melting snow and there will be some black ice.
Ah the advantages of living in Atlanta during the Hurricane season. :)
As shadowcat says, snowstorms are not common enough to justify the major expense of snow removal equipment or crews. Several years ago when I was wintering in SoFlo, I booked a flight out of Atlanta to the West Coast. They had their annual snowstorm the day before and picked up a 1/2 foot of snow. Atlanta shut down, shadowcat and I talked as I made my way to Atlanta, he advised me not to come. I told him I'd be careful and avoid the local drivers. The roads were bad, ice covered with a 6 inch snow topping. I made it to Atlanta fine and the next morning, I made 2 Southern gals' day by cleaning the snow off their car in Hartsfield's parking lot.

I’m sure the grocery stores shelves are bare.
They act like it’s the apocalypse and need to stock up for months there whenever it snows just a little bit.

Did you at least get a dance from them?
