I’m not having problems, are other people?
When I first moved to Georgia from New Hampshire a neighbor saw my snow shovel and remarked that in Georgia people don’t shovel snow, they wait for it to go away. He was right.
3 inches of snow and the whole city shuts down. Amazing!
that is ridiculous
I made a call to College of Charleston yesterday and they were CLOSED because they were anticipating snow!
My son in college in Mississippi, went out and was pulled behind a 4-wheeler in a plastic box (he also went target-shooting to make his "Redneck Winter Festival" complete).
When I was going to Mississippi State back in the early 1980's, during snow storms we'd take lunch trays out of the cafeteria and then slide down "hernia hill", a large hill near the middle of campus. There would be students at the top of both hills on the road that would stop traffic when there were kids running down, then let the traffic through when they cleared out (the cafeteria sold old trays for .50 each so we weren't stealing anything). The cafeteria and student union would both have hot chocolate. It was a real festival.
apparently people were stranded all over the Birmingham metro area and still are. I saw plenty yesterday when it took an hour and a half to get to my children—usually a 25 minute drive. The weather itself wasn’t the worst I have been in, it was the drivers and the hills.
Snow is easy. Driving on ice is treacherous.
I imagine this to be a crisis of epic proportions because, when confined to home, the courtesy of southern hospitality demands cooking marathons, producing vast quantities of food that is the antonym of “healthy”.
Rich, delicious, and you can hear your capillaries slamming shut. An entire pie is *not* an individual portion, nor is a whole rack of fresh, fluffy biscuits and cornbread, a KFC sized bucket of home fried chicken, mountains of deep fried vegetables, etc.
Oh, and gallons of sugared iced tea.
