This will be a big laugh for those of you up north, but stores near and far in georgia are sold out of milk and bread...and toilet paper...because it's snowing in town! I'm not sure I get the toilet paper thing, but everyone in the area left work early, won't be there tomorrow, has been by the grocery store, called all of their relatives, and mostly don't know how to act!   LOL

The funny part is that it'll be melted by lunch tomorrow...I'll get a pic or two if it lasts long enough.

In Michigan
SNOW = Snowboarding + Snowmobiling + Schnapps

It's actually difficult to meet someone in atlanta that is from atlanta.

Tull, I like your equation, but I've never even been on a snowboard. With the schnapps added in, I'd probably see some of those jumping trees.

I am in Charlotte, NC, originally from Columbus, OH, and see the same phenomenon. I suspect they are also purchasing eggs and plan a French Toast party on their day off! I also saw something different last night on the highway. A overhead sign read "Caution, deicing operations in progress". The strange thing was that at that time there had not been a single flake or drop of ice.

Here in Indy, the DOT treat the roads with a liquid molasses solution before the roads become frozen or slick from moisture.

In the South do they only eat molasses?

It will not work this wk end for it is to be 5 below zero!!!

Mr. Brooks, I saw those same signs driving between Charlotte(work) and Mooresville(home). Haven't talked to you on the site before I don't think, but we're right up the road and have some very close Buckeye friends here, well, actually Bearcat and Zip fans as I'm sure you can decipher, from Medina. Also, I bought our 69 Mustang (diaries) from Buckeye Lake. Please give me a call sometime and hopefully we can hook up - 704-451-5080.

We got 5" of snow in Charlotte,NC when I was a kid. We got an entire week off of school. Here in Michigan, 5" of snow won't even get the kids a late start time for the school day.

My sister-in-law (from Indiana) lived in Atlanta for a couple of years, and that's exactly what she would always say.

And, she'd send cell phone pics on the rare occasion of snow with a caption that read something like "school's closed", or "got sent home from work because of the weather". Funny what you get used to. For school to close here in northern IN, you have to have severe, severe weather. BTW, calling for -3 here tomorrow night, with a wind chill of -20.

I recall getting snow one time way back in my former life when I lived in Charleston, SC. Instead of salt spreaders on the back of snowplows, they had guys shoveling sand out of the back of dump trucks.

Down here in the south, we sometimes get snow twice in a winter season. This year we're getting it twice in 1 week. The global warming crowd is gonna have their collective shorts in a bunch trying to explain this!

Greg; You've had snow twice in the Atlanta area already this year? Maybe it'll help the lake...dunno..you might need lots of snow.

Our crippled lake is still about 19.5' down, so every little bit helps.

Greg, if you got the entire state to dedicate every Sunday as "beer Day" everyone could help fill that lake in a hurry, as long as you dont mind saltwater

Just to keep you guy's laughing. They started posting church closings last night on the tube. My phone rang informing us that church was cancelled because of the weather. It's 20'F outside and the sun is shining. Very little signs that it was snowing all day yesterday. The fear of "Black Ice" has gotton its firm grip on the South once again......................


On a sad note: On Wednesday , a Park Ranger, his wife and 13 yr old son hit a patch of it and there SUV flipped over into a lake drowning all three occupants leaving another Son at home. The Funeral was yesterday. I know we all joke about it but those of us who live in the south don't have the experience driving in it as we only see it maybe once a year. The DOT doesn't have enough equipment to deal with it as it doesn't make econimic since for a "Maybe" day once or twice a year.

Man...almost 20 feet low...unbelievable. Norris in Tennessee where we go always goes up and down by more than 20ft but we know it'll always come back in the Spring.

That used to be the caes here. In fact, when I was a kid the lake would go over full by 3-4 feet each spring. There must be too many people drinking it. The largest local user was recently found to be pepsi(gatorade) in atlanta?!!?

Here's a pic...mine's on the left.

Must be sad seeing your dock like that...BTW...what is that white stuff on the ground and in the trees?
I just swore off gatorade in support of your lake.

Snowing right now, had about inch of the white stuff on the ground when I came into work. AS for black ice you learn to respected it real fast when you have to drive a fox body mustang with some what bald tires. Never any fun traveling westbound on the freeway, then all of a sudden your facing eastbound in the westbound lane and traffic is coming right for you.
