Iced-in Georgians
 

Let's hear it from all the Georgians who are iced into their houses today!

I got my "school is closed" phone call at 5:30 this morning and will beat up the chorus teacher who decided to call that early...of course, my husband got his call an hour later when I'd finally fallen asleep again.

Now our winter-deprived kids are making snow angels in the ice on the deck.:rolleyes:

I wish I got iced-in. The streets are ice-free in the heart of Atlanta so I was forced to go into work today. :(

The streets do not have ice but my car had ice all over it this morning as well as my porch balcony.

Well, at least the Publix by my house won't be out of milk, water and canned food. Atlantans freak out over nothing better than anyone else.

The news showed shots of nothing left on the bread, milk, and water shevles of the Harry Teets here in Charlotte. It's actually kind of pretty out right now.

We got nothing but rain and more coldness down here on the southside :( And I rearranged my work schedule in preparation for some "wintry mix" ...

Does Greenville count?
 

Was snowing this morning. Now it's raining. Didn't have to go to work today.

UGA closed.

Yeah, my daughter who goes there called to say that classes were cancelled but that her boss still made her come in to work.:eek: Three of mine go to college in north Alabama but all had classes.

Georgia State was open today too :mad: but like DSTRen13 said, just rain and coldness here in Atlanta today.

However, it didn't hurt for us to dream about not coming in to work yesterday...:p

Southeast Tennessee had about 2" early this morning -- it's beautiful! All of the local schools were closed today.

We were supposed to get 4 inches today. All the schools closed. It's now green outside. We had flurries for about an hour, but that's all. We could get more tonight, but I'm not holding my breath :( looks like we'll never get snow in VA this year!

Cold rain and school today....but the pool has a layer of ice. My housepainters took a break today, but they've been busy all week prepping and waiting for it to warm up.

My kids said lots of people decided to take a snow day anyway.:p

Wimps, the lot of ya. :p

And we northerners are laughing at this right now.

And that's why I don't trust weather people.

I really needed to take today off :mad:

Its alright, because when it hits 95 in Chicago or Detroit and yall start hacking apart fire hydrants, we get a good chuckle as well.

There's a grocery store called Harry Teets?! :eek: hahahaha!

Well, it's Harris Teeter, but you know...

And as a former Yankee, I find it funny as well.

I wish we could just get some rain out here. The mountains have snow and the weather is COLD but know sight of rain....

There's Piggly Wiggly too. That name is always makes me chuckle :D.

It's like you guys never seen snow before? My god...

We get it about once every three years, so yes it is a big deal. I grew up in the great white north, so I think snow is highly overrated. But my kids love it and it's an excuse to take a day off.

But thanks for asking.

They don't do that in the Detroit area... well maybe in Southwest or something.

I remember seeing it on the news that they were doing that in NYC. But I believe it's because they had a power outage there. No air conditioning when it's 90+ degrees out would really suck. I think I'd consider hacking apart a fire hydrant too even though I'm a native of the South and use to extremely high temperatures!

-5 right now, about -40 wind chill. I'd kill to be 'iced in right now'...

Oh hang on, yeah, it's -15 now. Greeeeaaatt.

It's a balmy +1 here now with a wind chill of -15. At least the sun is shining.

White out conditions, 1 degree with a windchill of -10 and idiots think it's smart to go 70 on the freeway. HELLO PEOPLE!!! SALT DOESN'T WORK WHEN IT'S THIS COLD!!!!!!!!! THAT MEANS ICE ON THE FREEWAYS! WAKE UP!
They scared the crap out of me. And then the kids started bickering.. grrrrr
