Snowing in Atlanta! - Page 2

Hubby came to pick me up from work at 3:15 cause my car is in the shop. He said he saw this person from behind, but he/she looked a little wierd. As he passed, he noticed it was a girl walking down the road with her mouth open, trying to catch snow in her mouth...I'd be more worried about the autos on my body!

Ooooh, I am so jealous!!! Snow in Atlanta!

I really miss snow this time of year (it didn't feel at all like Christmas this year...no snow in Dallas!)

Here in Tallahasssee (north Florida) it's just been raining all day....but I was hoping for some snow...nothing yet!

70 degrees????????????? No Fair!!! (Rhonda is throwing a tantrum on the floor kicking her hands and feet in the air and screaming ... just kidding)

I am glad all of you are liking the snow. I, however, hate cold. I hate cold with a passion, which is why I would give anything to be back in Arizona or Southern California. Its been highs in the 20s and lows in the teens. We had a few flurries but no pretty snow ( I do like snow - from inside a warm house. I just really hate the cold - anything below 40 degrees irks me)

I move to Chicago in a week, and I think I am gonna go nuts. It snows more and is colder than St. Louis.

Oh summer, where are you? Come back please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

About 3 weeks ago in Valdosta, GA (like 20 miles from the Fla border) -- it must have been about 75 degrees! now it's just cold, rainy and miserable!

Snow is dangerous in Atlanta-- most don't know how to drive in it!

It snowed for a hot minute today in my neck of the woods(North Dallas) It wasn't enough to stick,just some flurries. It was however cold enough for me to break down and buy some much needed gloves. Now all I need is a hat and a dress coat and I'll be set. (Of course by the time I find these items, the weather will be back in the 70's

Hey, it sucks living IN Florida! I'm just glad the temp has fallen into the 50's...everyone can feel free to send the snow down here!

No snow in Hawaii...but last night the temp dropped to almost 60, and that's considered cold over here!

I stayed over at my new sweetie's house last night (I forgot to mention that I have a new sweetie!), and he lives in a very cold part of the island. It was fun to have someone to snuggle with this morning... We turned on the news and sure enough...it's snowing in Atlanta. I couldn't help but think of you guys!

The snow has now arrived in the Charlotte Metro area. According to the radio, we are expecting 6 inches by tomorrow morning, with another 6 by tomorrow night. The roads are at a standstill, there is no milk, bread, or eggs in any store in the tri-county area (why does everyone make French toast when it snows?) and everything is shut. I wish my grandma was here, she makes great snow ice cream.

No snow here in CT - but we had some snow a couple of weeks ago - first snow of the season, and it stuck! Very wet snow... but it melted the next day.

The trouble with snow in the south (south = below the Mason-Dixon line) is that no one knows how to drive in it - AlphaGam1019 is right on that one. A couple of winters ago I was down in Virginia on business, and a couple of inches of snow fell... *everything* shut down. Schools were closed, businesses were closed (except mine, of course

), I-66 was moving at 15mph, I'm on the highway and I'm thinking, come *on* people, it's a *flurry*... But if you're not used to driving in snow, it is best to be cautious.

aephi, I couldn't agree more!!!!! When I lived in Dallas they had a "snowstorm" one day. I wake up to see barely anything and find out schools were closed, Art got sent home from work....and what was worse....when we went out for dinner that night, we must have passed like 10 accidents in a 5 mile stretch! These people really didn't know how to drive....they couldn't believe we went out driving in the "terrible weather"....well, that is until we told them we're Canadians and this is nothing!!!
You can see a pic of the "snowstorm" on my Texas page of my website: http://bialowas2001.tripod.com/texas/texas.html .... it's on the bottom of the page!

It is snowing in Virginia as well. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. I need another full day of rest before I see my students in 2k2.

It was supposed to snow here (Mandeville, LA) yesterday. But it didn't

It got nasty and sleety and way too dangerous for me to make the trek to my boyfriend's house to watch the sugar bowl

But Baton Rouge got about an inch. Heard it was tons of fun

It is now 1:15 on Thursday morning here in the winter wonderland of Columbia, SC (btw, what's up Anne?). It's been snowing steady since 11 a.m. and now we have almost 3 inches, which is unheard of here! It's supposed to go into tomorrow night, and we may get more than 8 inches total. I just hope the electricity doesn't go out b/c I hate the cold. I was in Cincinnati for New Years and joked about how I hadn't seen snow fall out of the sky in 2 years (the last time was Jan 2000 in Charleston, and it caused such a frenzy!). Yeah, so I leave the Great White North, hoping for some warmth and I get this. I am not happy!! My mom won't let me drive anywhere! All I can think about is how mid-finals it got so warm at school that we all almost went to the beach.....How many days til summer?

So, why is it that my "lived in FL my whole life and has no idea how to drive in snow" ass is in my office at 9am when the rest of my NORTHERN BORN fellow employee's are calling in left and right with excuses on why they can't make it in. I had to DIG my car out this morning, go down a lot of very scary hills, fishtail pulling into my office parking lot, AND take about an hour for a 20 minute drive, yet I am here. ARGH--I am SOOOOOOOOOO MAD right now. All is know is that I am LEAVING at 3:30 today, before the roads get icy and it starts to get dark. But I am still really mad!!!

Sisterplum · #30 01-03-2002, 03:36 PM

AOPiLala,
Where in Florida are you?! Y'all actually have snow?!

I want snow! I know, how weird does that sound....I live in Florida now, but I want snow. I guess I just miss not seeing it this year at all!
