It's the same story here in ATL. Roads are messed up to the point that my mother's normally-five-minute commute took an hour (not joking) because of the traffic caused by the snow and ice. Inside Atlanta proper was even worse to the point that Gov. Deal and Mayor Reed ordered the evacuation of Atlanta, which (like any typical government cock-up) backfired miserably.

All your safe space are belong to TrumpWell here in the Blue Ridge "Mountains" snow is a fact of life in the winter,or fact enough that it's nothing to panic over.
It's cold sure,but no more than usual
Was a half inch of snow,seems to have melted away.
Currently snowing, inch thick sheet of ice on all the roads. In NC so no salt trucks or snowploughs.
And I just ordered a pizza.
Oh really when?You're clearly not in Asheville then.
and Garner reporting in, it's cold, but not absolute horror. Got about five inches of the white stuff, which is odd given that it was 65 degrees just two days ago.
Pizza guy arrived in what could only be called the world's slowest car crash.
Oh really when?It might actually rain here today or tomorrow.
what do you mean I didn't win, I ate more wet t-shirts than anyone else@Noh Body: Apparently they recently started naming winter storms because people weren't taking them seriously enough.
People are mirrors. If you smile, a smile will be reflected.Finally back to normal for a GA winter (that is, 40s and 50s). Lawn's green brown instead of white, which is a good sign.
It rained here yesterday, finally.
It's still not enough, though.
what do you mean I didn't win, I ate more wet t-shirts than anyone elseIt seems to be a pattern of wet, dry, wet, dry every other day.
what do you mean I didn't win, I ate more wet t-shirts than anyone elseSo, some records are getting broken because of how cold it is here; in Seattle it is 23 degrees, where I am it is 19, 9 with wind chill (we get nasty winds courtesy of Canada).
Yes, I know that isn't all that bad compared to some of you. But we're not used to it. Record-breaking cold is record-breaking cold and it sucks, no matter where you live.
If I were to write some of the strange things that come under my eyes they would not be believed. ~Cora M. Strayer~If you lived in Hawaii, record breaking cold would be like 50 degrees.
Also, it rained again, and I'm very happy.

Or, if you prefer 'here we go again'.
'All he needs is for somebody to throw handgrenades at him for the rest of his life...'More rain! Just what Wales and Ireland need! And, Somerset, for that matter. <crosses fingers> Stay away from the North East... away from the North East: the Coast Road still hasn't had all the drainage done to it it needs and we've just had horizontal rain this week. <_<
...The road's going to blow again, isn't it? -_-
Everything is going to blow, my friend. Everything.
'All he needs is for somebody to throw handgrenades at him for the rest of his life...'Great, now it's sunny.
IT SHOULDN'T BE SUNNY!
what do you mean I didn't win, I ate more wet t-shirts than anyone else9" of snow yesterday. The total for the winter so far is 58". It is 16F outside right now and the first day of spring is in 41 days.
Yes!
Rain!
Keep coming!
what do you mean I didn't win, I ate more wet t-shirts than anyone else40 more days till the first day of spring.
Schizophrenic as ever. Gov. Deal issued a state of emergency today pending Winter Storm Pax despite the fact that there has not yet (to my knowledge) been any precipitation.
Guess he doesn't want to catch hell for screwing up the response to winter weather. Again.
//Must be an election year

Of course, it stopped today.

"Winter storm Leon"? Is that what the Weather Channel is calling it in their desperate attempt to draw attention?
Anyway, going to work was all sorts of fun last night, between the slushy streets and sudden IQ drop that follows any major inclement weather pattern. Coming back home this morning even more so when the half-melted snow froze up. At some points it was like driving on an ice rink, and I by the time I had pulled into my driveway at home I had passed almost 2 dozen cars and trucks that had slid off the road.
And yet for all that I still miss regular snow from when I lived in northern Illinois.
