ATLANTA SNOW...OR...Snowpocalypse 2011!
So, I spent Christmas and New Year's in New York/New Jersey visiting family. And along with that, came 21+ inches of snow! I mean, good grief! I moved from Montana for several reasons, and one was to not have to deal with winter weather.
Maybe I should of stayed in Miami.
Last night, Atlanta was a bit more than dusted.....about 5-6 inches of fluffy white stuff came down. Ok, it looks pretty enough. The Atlanta Snow has me staying home. I don't really need to go anywhere.
But then, like the Southern Belle stands atop the staircase and makes her grand entrance, we have another fine Southern tradition....freezing rain. I never understood the concept. Freezing rain.....what? But it's warmer higher up, and so it rains, but it's cold here on the ground, so it freezes on the way, or on contact with the ground. So now, our Atlanta Snow has a nice icy crust on it.
What does that all add up to? A mess. A Big mess. The City of Atlanta has 11, yes ELEVEN snow plows! I mean we do only get this once or twice a year. (Note to Mother Nature....Two times already. ENOUGH!)
Someone even made a Facebook event, if you are so inclined to attend!!!
Of course every possible thing that could be closed, is. I did hear there is a line around the block at a Starbucks in Midtown! I've got my coffee right here.
So the Bacon Cheddar Quiche is baking, hash browns will be cooking, and I'll be posting. What else is a Snow Day for anyway?
Here's another Atlanta Snow Story!
