Well our weather...I mean meteorologist in the metro Atlanta are are in full blown frenzy. They just took us "live" to view the sand and salt they will be spreading if we get a snow flake or two.

Schools have early dismissal. :idontno: The grocery stores are now mobbed. Fortunately or unfortunately for us the temps have risen, but...that means we will probably get the dreaded ice storm when the temps plunge later this evening. I wouldn't mind a little snow, ice bites though!

Good thing we have a generator and I did a stock up at the grocery store ahead of the mobs! I do predict NoHall will be seeing some snow and probably singinchicken. I predict we won't. maybe I'm wrong. Either way, bring it on, I think I'm ready!!! :wave:

Minnie, you're so cute. All you need to say now is "And don't go out the door without your wooly muffler, the hat your grandma knit you, and mittens!"

And no sticking your tongue to any flagpoles either. :lol:

We have a dusting of snow in a few random spots down here in SoSoATL.

On 11Alive they are saying that the roads in Atlanta are pretty dangerous due to icy spots, and the ice won't go away today if it doesn't get sun.

Apparently there was a 27-car wreck on a ramp at 85/285 southwest of the airport because DOT forgot to gravel the ramp. Obama took full responsibility.

We got quite a bit of snow through the night and ruch hour here is a bummer. Good thing I have a short commute. We have probably 8 to 10 inches on the ground and it is cold out there.

Here in chicago, we only got about 6" yesterday with the 4" already on the ground. My son's flight out of Hopkins yesterday was rescheduled due to bad weather in both locations. But he finally made it to O'Hare by 8am this morning. Whew. We thought he'd never get out of Cleveland and back to Chicago. I don't know which area had the worse weather! We are at 22 degrees with W/C of 12. We're staring to get used to it now. At least we are above the teens now!

We have the same weather but more snow so we look prettier than you do. :biggrin: Pippi just walked out the door bundled up to the nines. Her boyfriend is taking her to the airport. She's heading back to Italy for classes on Monday but she has a whole day layover in Paris...where it's snowy and 27 degrees (feels like 13). I've talked her into doing a walking tour and she's prepared...wooly muffler, mittens, and knit hat. J/K!!! My girl is actually wearing cashmere--Santa (I mean, her boyfriend) was quite good to her this Christmas. :clap:

:lolabove: Mermy, I'm glad you have more snow than us. There are reasons I live in the deep south and snow and ice (unless it's in my drink) are not among them. There's just something wrong when it's colder outside than the inside of my pucking freezer! :funn:

I am hoping the very beautiful and stylish Pippi has a safe trip and can stay warm and fashionable at the same time. This boyfriend sounds like a keeper if he gifted her cashmere. If there is a wedding I'd better be invited...unless it's some winter wonderland affiar. :lol: I'll just ship my gift if that's the case!

Been coming down here all morning...heading your way. I left work early because the roads were getting pretty bad and I have to cross the Tenneesee river bridge. I don't like it even when the roads are clear. Closed schools last night. Did I mention I hate winter? :wave: Stocked up on beer and food yesterday. I am good to go. Roll Tide!

roll tide darlene!

gttbm - you are cracking me up:biggrin:

Definitely a keeper! After Beach Jacket's wedding, we can start talking about Pippi's (well, give it a couple of years :biggrin:).

Any pics, Mermy? I agree, GTTBM. He sounds like a keeper!

Never too early to start thinking about it. ;-) Beach Jacket's wedding blog was chosen by BrideTide.com as one of the top wedding blogs in the country. In my opinion she uses her sense of style, her graphic design skills, her photography skills, her writing style, and just her plain hilarious self to make for a great blog.

No snow for you!

No snow~! :(

I monitored the outside temp until midnight (gotta love the many features on travel alarms) then went to sleep with the phone nearby in case it DID snow and I got a call.

Phooey^4!

It's unbearably cold this evening. Don't know what the freakin' wind chill is, but I am not amused.

Wind chill is something like 50 below......I heard this for Dallas. Dallas and Atlanta, 50 below. Ice everywhere. Dangerous! Twenty-seven car pile up! Why? Why? Why do people insist on driving on ice? Police and DOT barricaded several roads and drivers went around and did what? Crashed! All of them. Our temps won't be above freezing until Tuesday!


I called a taxi for my meeting last night and am going to walk tonight.
