Snow Storm Update

On a personal note, while the snow storm has shut down Atlanta, I’m happy to say that here in my neck of the woods things aren’t so bad. My yard stick shows that we got about 1″ here in our yard and I’m always thankful that Habersham County has such a great handle on storms like this. With all these small, curvy mountain roads I know it takes a lot of work and planning. And while I haven’t seen a plow yet on my side road I know that they’ve been here and the main highway is fine since both my guys made it into work today.

I’m not sure why Atlanta says that the storm moved in faster than expected, since from what I can tell it was exactly what the news told us to expect. Maybe I missed something? (And yes, it stills amazes me how they can predict even the right time for things like this now a days.) But unfortunately things are a mess in metro Atlanta for now.

My heart goes out to those families (in Atlanta) who spent hours on the road last night trying to get to their children (who were not released from school early enough) and are still trying to get home or at school. Cars and buses were stranded in the bitter cold and on the ice (as the sun went down) for hours trying to get where they were going.

It’s suppose to be a cold one today – so they don’t expect much, if any melting of the ice on the roads. And now there is a lot of ice, so it will be a long day for those clearing cars that were abandoned, some after running out of gas.

This momma hen is still not real comfortable to have her chicks spread out and not under our own roof at times like these. Larry thankfully made it home with just one close call on a icy hill coming down our road. Armed with Dads advice our oldest took a different route home and made it safely.

Our youngest, Kaitlin thankfully has had her college trip to Savannah for the Georgia Music Educators Conference postponed until tomorrow when things are suppose to be warmer. She’s enjoying the snow days at school .Finally getting to play in snow late last night with her friends. Since she is a lot farther south, the snow didn’t arrive until after 8 p.m. last night.

We are thankful we missed the brunt of the storm, but are thinking of our neighbors and praying everyone stays safe – thankfully there were no deaths reported from the accidents so far here in Georgia.

On a lighter note I thought you might enjoy the view that I woke up to here at the house this morning.

My son took this shot of the front as he warmed up his truck to get to work this morning. I’m staying in today – no point in going out if you don’t have to, right? I’m waging the battle of keeping my feet warm. Shhh don’t tell my husband but hot chocolate, one of my biscotti, and the fire sounds like a good thing today. LOL

And here is another photo of the back yard – the tracks of course were from the fun my son and his friend had playing in the snow together – It never stays pretty long.

And for those of you reading this across the states dealing with the bitter cold and snowfall of this winter – hang in there and stay warm.

I know you’re probably shaking your head right now, thinking, “really? that ‘s crazy for so little snow on the ground.” As a transplant from Wisconsin I used to think the same thing when I first moved here. It’s a southern thing – and you learn to embrace it as you run to the store to load up on bread, eggs and milk to prepare for these things. LOL

Have a great day – and leave me a comment to let me know what you’re planning to do this “snow day”. I’d love to hear from you.
