come on guys, its just snow and ice! :lol:

Weekend before last we had almost 8" of snow. Last Tuesday night and Wednesday morning we got another 4" mixed with high winds. My normal 55 minute drive home on Wednesday was an hour and 45 minutes. Thursday morning was even worse, 2 hours to get to work. The whole interstate for almost 30 miles was a solid sheet of ice with accidents everywhere.
You cant call it "black ice" when its visible!

We just got sent home from work at 3:00 today. It's raining at 40*'s, but suppose to start sleeting and snowing tonight around midnight. Tomorrow is suppose to sleet and some snow.
Schools are closed too.
I bet Atlanta is over-reacting today too.

We have had an 85% power outage since Wednesday. Over 125,000 homes without power. It rained, sleeted then snowed then the temp dropped to about 25. Not long after that limbs and trees started falling everywhere. News said there were thousands of trees / limbs blocking roads so for a while all roads were closed and people were told to stay home. I could here tree limbs falling all night and yesterday in my neighborhood.
The roads froze over but weren't all that bad.
Many people have been without power since the storm started.
Probably more than half of all stores, grocery stores and gas stations are without power. My parents got hit really hard and have trees down all over their property. One storage shed hit, but no damage to their house.
I'm doing fine. I still have hot water, kerosene heat and my little generator for light and running my refrigerator. I took most stuff out fridge and packed in a cooler with snow but didn't have enough cooler space for all of it.
There is some power one block over from my house so I hope I get power back today. All the power for my neighborhood is underground so I have no idea where the problem is.
I did get out a little yesterday and it seriously looked like a small war zone with so many trees / mostly limbs down everywhere. Lots of trees / limbs on houses and cars and in the road.

I knew it was a bad sign when jim Cantore came to Augusta! He can leave now and I would be just fine!
