So cold!

and dropping fast.

5 more degrees is perfect snow temps.

It's much worse than an inch of snow.

It causes utter chaos even where winters are always cold.

Good luck Georgians!

First it was 6 inches of snow, then sleet, then 0.1 inches of freezing rain. If you didn't shovel it before it froze, you're screwed.

with 6 inches of snow on Day 1 first (tomorrow).

it hits ground. He's got his second chance, assuming it actually gets cold enough to snow or ice.

But, hey, that's OK. We don't have to get up at 6AM to see if my daughter's college classes are going to be canceled.

The state is literally shut down already and not a drop of anything has fallen. The Governor has declared a State of Emergency.

Now, granted, it's going to be a bad one if it lives up to the forecast - 6 inches of snow for me (that's a BLIZZARD in Georgia), followed by 2 days of ice storms.

But, Atlanta and the highways will be a ghost town this time.

when you can't walk to your car without sliding on ice, but you make it there, nevertheless, and then you can't get your key into the lock because it is frozen under ice, it begins to dawn on you that you should just slither back to your door, go in, and fill containers with water, find candles, and matches. Find blankets, they become gold, may as well put on some soft clothes, find something you want to do , and stay put. there is nowhere to go . its just a few days. meet your neighbors and become friends, hunker down. if power goes out eat all ice cream, and the other stuff, you could put outside.

and I'd much rather have that much snow with more on the way than any amount of ice.

Good luck and I hope everyone bracing for this storm keeps safe.

Ice is a challenge as it the cold weather for you all. Glad folks will be able to stay off roads.
