Default Snowed in in GA. Drifts are at Least 1/8" deep

Holy "C**p"!

Barely any snow and all the roads are closed. I can't get up or down my driveway, can't leave the development, etc.

What's all this talk about global warming? It was 14 degrees at noon!

Where am I...Latrobe?

No Latrobe, 17 hours NORTH of Altanta was 16 degrees.

This photo was a block away.



THIRTY FIVE cars in ditches within a half mile of home

Dang Spanky, looks like we're done for.

Glad you made it in OK.

1-We just had all ice under a very minor dusting of snow, no traction on the hills so they closed the roads, even though the "main" roads were fine. I had to do a "jailbreak" this morning and moved the barrier myself, See ya

2-People around here don't know how to drive on stuff like this, so they make it worse.

3-No salt spreaders or salt.

In the NE, this would have been a zero issue.

The Southern version...buy bread and milk if a storm is forecast.
