A sudden taste of what our friends up North just got

[thatcrazycajun]

It has been snowing for the past two hours here. Yes, I typed snowing. Here. In Atlanta. Atlanta, Georgia, Capital of the New (and very Deep) South. Big, wet, frosty flakes that stick and show no sign of stopping as yet. It started earlier today up in the north Georgia mountains and made its way down to the city around quitting time. Boy, when Mama Nature finally decides to drop snow on us and turn "Hot-lanta" into a winter wonderland, she does NOT mess around.

If this keeps up all night, I fully expect to drag myself out of bed in the morning, peer out the front-room window and go "What the FUCK?!?" in a way I have not done in over four years, at least. My new employer may be closed tomorrow in that event; if that happens; if so, I dearly hope and pray we will all be paid for the lost day...but I won't hold my breath waiting.

In the meanwhile, I will cozy up with the load of groceries I was finally able to buy for the first time in weeks, have a cup of hot cocoa and enjoy it.

Where the heck did you get that icon?

I was there for the Blizzard of '93... and I live out West now. *shrug* so it's snowing. *Ice*, on the other hand... I did NOT go in yesterday. Thank goodness for VPN's...

I don't remember now where I got the userpic; I was searching for WTF icons awhile back and this was one of the three or four I liked best.

It's a way for the weather system to still get you. You have to wait for the snow to melt before it goes into the ground and replenished the water table.

The only time I was ever in Atlanta in January, it snowed. Yeah, it's in the south, but it's also high up.

Come to think of it, I've been to Atlanta 3 times (August 1978, January 1986 and August 1986), and it was only hot the first time I went. Hotlanta, indeed.

Sorry for the Snow!!!

Sorry for the snow but we had an excess in Canada and thought we would surprise you.
