We live in north Georgia where we had a dire forecast of ice followed by 2-10 inches depending on elevation. Schools closed for two days. Friday you could have played touch football on major roadways because the prognosticators and the gummint put out severe Snowmageddon hype.
We had two days of cold rain and a half inch dusting of snow as the front went through.
I think you guys will survive this up north.
I grew up in upstate NY and saw many an unnamed winter snowstorm dump feet of snow with little news coverage.
Over this crap.
Too bad. Fairfax County, VA - at 3 am about 10 to 12 inches on the ground, snowing heavily, and will have 24 to 30 inches when the storm has exhausted itself. The reason for the media coverage is the storm is converging on the media centers and big population areas - 95 million people are impacted. Upstate NY? Not so much.
it is a lot of hype but a good excuse for the govt employees to get another day off....
I live in ATL but am visiting the parents in Central Kentucky. The forecast was pretty spot on here. There’s about 8” of snow on the ground.
I hate seeing that FReepers, like the media, seem to thing an event is important only if and as it affects the coasts, and ignore effects outside the coasts. KY got hit pretty good, as did other inland locations. No one here seems to be freaking out, they’re just going about their business and hunkering down.
Not bad in my part of North Ga. A dusting of snow. No ice. Road are good, but side roads are ripe for fishtailing right now.
Fortunately, we had a long break between the rain and the temp drop.
