No snow in the forecast but we're expecting ice and freezing rain here in the Atlanta area starting tomorrow night. All electric home and unfortunately no generator ( the local Home Depot sold out of those earlier this week). Could be a rough few days if that freezing rain hits us hard. We are well stocked on the staples though, and I have a camp stove and an old fashioned coffee percolator just in case. Man's gotta have his priorities.

over a foot of snow
i would have never figured a foot or more is major, never really paid it much mind until this year
please be safe in the outings in the snow.
2 inches here is an extinction event for some
It’s currently “cold in hell” at -8. One old friend sent me a thing of -14. So at least you can be thawed out for a later date.

this is why, nearly every day, i post in the, "what are you doing now" thread, that i got errands to do.what cracked me on national news was gov of NY, then some one in PA, then a NJ
all freaking out about the storm...hmmmm does it NOT get cold up there as part of normal winter?
my friend near rochester is out snow mobilling and enjoying a nice normal snow
mean while in north east texas.... stores are empty of water, TP and milk
and gas lines are 12 deep
at least the speed of the cold has been slowed for us, the gulf moisture ridge is pushing back, still 45 here
either me or the wife, do "a little shopping" nearly everyday
she drinks milk, i cannot but when the little ones come over, at least there is milk for them..
then cookies, cake, brownie mixes, and so many other "little things".
people panic, when they here "big snow storm coming", cuz so many got caught empty handed in the blizzard of 1978 in the area.
the state of RI had a labor strike of all the highway dept...so NO snow plows....
the national guard used payloaders, bull dozers to dig us out.
no stores were open, and many were buried in thier cars on the roads, with no food, water, or toilet.
so everytime, just 1 stinking snow flakes is in the air, everyone goes ballistic, and goes on a mad shopping craze.
long lines everywhere is so very common.....

It will be in the 70's here Sunday, then a 50° drop in temperature Sunday night and Monday morning. Like somebody left the freezer door open.
