The big problem here with snow is nobody knows how to drive in it ,if youre going keep moving keeping a safe distance between you and whats ahead of you. But here everyone wants to be on each others bumper and when one stops everyone stops and when facing uphill nobody can go .Hwy 140 was a very long parking lot with nobody moving ,we pushed people up the hill until we wore out .I finally was able to turn my truck around and get it to a side road and left it ,walking the rest of the way home .Hopefully some of this thaws out with help from the GDOT spreading salt and gravel and I can get my truck tomorrow .

Sunny and 68 today in Phoenix today. Long drive to get here. Finally raining at home from what I hear.

John, they don't know how to drive in the snow here either. It snows here every year but still they don't know how to drive in it. Took our son 3 hours to get to work the other day and numerous days of 2 hour or more trips.

People are either overly cautious, won't go faster than 20 MPH which just bunches up traffic. Or they drive too fast and too close. Glad I no longer have to drive in that everyday.

Its a mess here in Ga today ,stranded motorists everywhere .My nephew is going to try and get me to one of my trucks in a little while ,hopefully I can get one home .My legs are very sore from all the walking yesterday ,dont really want to repeat that again .

Hopefully the sunshine will loosen things up on the roads for a while later today...before it all refreezes again tonight.
All this crap will just bad bad memory by the weekend...

I hope so Bill ,Im already tired of this crap .Im sitting here now looking at all the cows waiting on some hay to be brought in .

Have you seen the local news?? The Interstate roads thru/around Atlanta are closed...a virtual parking lot!!
15 degrees here right now and they say today's high will be 31 around 2pm.
You may have to wait until tomorrow to get your truck...no need for it today anyhow.
Be safe.

Just heard there are school buses stuck on the roads since yesterday afternoon...WITH kids!!
Spent the night on the bus. Reports of having the National Guard activated to rescue them.
Also news reports a list of Home Depot stores throughout the area that stayed open during all this to provide shelter.

Some Kroger stores also closed but let stranded motorists come inside to stay warm .My 2 nephews took me over to my truck to get a few things out but the roads areactually worse than yesterday ,solid ice .They are bus mechanics and have been called in to try to get some of those buses off the roads .There are cars and trucks left everywhere on Ga 140 as well as the road I live on ,its a mess .

You guys think you have it so bad in Atlanta, this me snow blowing my driveway Monday.

Wow, it sounds like a nightmare for you guys in GA. Those of us up here in the north would love a 31 degree day, it would be a heat wave. Most of the local schools were closed again today, except my kids school. So I went out at 7:05am to warm my van up and the temp was -4 with the wind chill it actually felt like -20. High school is only 1 1/2 miles from my house and only after I took the kids and got home, was the van warm.

Now our streets are in pretty good shape. Main roads and expressways are clean and pretty dry. Some of the side streets have snow built up on them.

I think if I was down with John and Bill through this snow storm I would have probably been doing donuts, scaring the crap out of all the people who can't drive in this. Funny thing, I wouldn't allow my kids to get their license until they actually knew how to do a donut and get out of a spin. lol

Not as bad off as everyone else, but barely made it to 50* today. High winds and lots of rain in the afternoon. Not looking much better for tomorrow. Can't wait for Friday, high of 74.

Looks like a warming trend for the east side of the US. By the weekend it may in the 50's from what I have seen on the news. I notice they were putting the blame on the weather people for not perdicting the bad weather in Georgia and some of the other area's.

Ya cant really blame the weather people, they did give fair warning........Mother Nature is gonna do what she wants to do and where she wants to do it at.

They replayed the forecasts given on the 3 days prior. They had plenty of warning

The weather people were right this time ,the state DOT messed up by not being ready even though they were on TV the night before saying they learned their lesson and were prepared for this one ,NOT. The county road dept came through after lunch today with a motor grader and cleaned most of the ice off and my brother in law took me after out 2 trucks .The temps today got up to 37 degrees which helped thaw things out ,I enjoyed playing on the tractor clearing snow off a local subdivision streets. Im ready for spring and hopefully cruising in my new old truck ,I hate cold and snow.

We were promised a high of 57-58 today. It hovered around 49-50 degrees, and rained pretty much non stop. The wind cut like a knife. Calling for 73-74 tomorrow, I hope so. Today was miserable on the job sites. Heck, the past two days have been crappy. I need a good ending to the work week.

My workday starts at 10 AM tomorrow in case there is black ice still on the roads ,Im ready to get back to work. I was on call this week and they called me constantly but all I could do was tell them I was still stranded and could not get there .I missed out on a lot of overtime that I sure could have used .

Soon all this snow and ice will be nothing more than a bad memory...50's today and tomorrow...60's and rain on Sunday!!
I was out running errands yesterday afternoon...no problem.
And actually the Weatherman DID miss the forecast for THIS area...initially was only supposed to get a dusting up to .5 inch possible north of Atlanta.
Not the 3"+ we did get....
South of Atlanta was forecast to get the worst...which is did not.
Gotta remember...around here everything is on a hill. I can stand in my backyard and look over the roof of the house behind me.

We dont have any flat terrain either ,its all up and down and curvy. Some roads are still very bad up here .

Returned to Oregon with lots of rain last night.

Yeah...some side roads in shady areas are still a little slick.
I drove up to Cherokee Gun on Knox Bridge in Canton earlier today to pick up an item I had ordered. Took the Miata which needed gas and hadn't been out of the garage since early Tues afternoon.
ZERO issues...looks pretty much back to normal. Although school was canceled again today.

Same rain that's headed here on Monday/Tuesday...needed to wash all the salt away.

Oh woopie........got about 1" of snow Thursday night which set a new record of the most snow in any month around Detroit. Snowed again last night, about 2" and now its comin down in bucket fulls. Supposed to get around 5"-6" of heavy WET snow through tonight then turns to rain.......boy what mess this is gonna be.

Most likely you will have some flooding sounds like. Weather has cleared of and going to be sunny next week but only going to be in the 30's. Cold air heading our direction.

Just got back inside after doing 5" of heavy wet snow. Was almost done and it started raining and now snowing again.......JEEEESSSHHH !!!

Snow and ice...what's that??? ;)

It's 62 degrees right now and all that white crap is just a distant memory!!!

We still have traces of that nasty white stuff but its going away quickly ,its 56 here but I will take it .

Snow went away fast, glad it's finally warming up for you.

Went to almost 80* today despite the sun not being out much. Racked up 21+ hours of OT this week. Add in the 5.5 hours Sunday at my other job, that's 66.5+ hours over the past seven days. I'm beat, time for a nap...

If I lived up north again (NOT), I'd have to have one of these!!! Big Block Chevy power!!

That moves the snow in a hurry. Here's another one

I forgot about that one.
I actually know Glenn Lever personally...thru the CanAm Chevelle club.

I would have liked to have had one of those a few days a go.

Glenn did all the powder coating on my control arms and replaced a couple of the ones were bad for me on my build.

So did you end up having either you or Joans car frozen shut ?

70 degrees here right now...even NYC is 49 degrees at SB kickoff.

Our trucks were not frozen shut when we got there but the temps were above freezing by then.

High of 83* today, beautiful day. Didn't get to enjoy it though, worked 6-12 at my 2nd job. By the time I got home and did everything, it was 3pm and I was beat. A three hour nap killed the rest of my day.

Supposed to be low to mid 80s most of this week. Hope it will be a nice day this coming Saturday, would like to work on my car again.

I give, we are officially out of room for all this snow. The 6 or so inches of wet heavy stuff on Saturday pushed us over the edge. We surrendered the corner of the driveway. Our shed is a little over 20' long and runs lengthwise across the end of the drive. The far corner of the driveway is now covered with a few feet of snow, a triangle 10'-11' feet on each side.

Went out this morning and they plowed the street while we were gone. Had to park in the street because of the 2' pile of snow at the end. Pushed it down the street and spread it out best I could. The streets are lined with piles up to the mail boxes that has been there for over a month so it's mostly ice. Oh, they're calling for 4 to 5 inches on Wednesday.
