They have issued a major winter weather alert for Georgia!

They say that we here in middle Georgia could have 1/2" of snow on
the ground Sunday morning. I have to run out and get bread and milk.
And then I'll be back to ponder this situation. NOT! [}:)][}:)]

I'm gonna sit right here and watch. [:D]

    time to time,,,I have heard of it snowing down there where yoo at.[:D] It might snow here,,, (but mites grow on a chickens *)[:D] I
    hope I don't get poofed for that remark. If it does snow and hit the
    ground it will melt, the ground is not cold enoughquote:Originally posted by callktulu

    Right now in Baldwin County it's 68 degrees.
    The snow should melt as soon as it hits the ground,
    but I gave the deer an extra measure of corn tonight
    to keep 'em happy.

    Wimps, Half an inch isn't even enough to make a real driver slow down, let alone panic. Try dealing with a foot or more of fresh snow on a regular basis.

    Yeah, we got snow here in Houston County back in 2002. Or was it early 2003? Seems like a lifetime ago.

    You're closer to where I grew up (Conyers) than you are to me now. Too bad, I was going to invite you shooting. FORGET IT NOW!! YANKEE!!

    Here in the NC mountains we are supposed to get 6 inches of snow today and tonight.
    I have a very steep, 1/2 mile long driveway. More fun than Six Flags in the snow. Everyone who has ever lived up here, 7 people, has crashed on this driveway while going downhill in the snow, except me, knock on wood.
    I have 4WD and studded snow tires so I can handle it. Also have chains in case it really gets icy.

    I grew up in Atlanta. One inch of snow, the city shuts down.

    Back in '73 there was a fluke blizzard across central Georgia and Alabama. Auburn Alabama was included, as well as Milledgeville Georgia.
    They got 14 inches of snow.
    Atlanta didn't get any.

    I got up early this morning to see whats happening. It's 44 f and raining. But the radar over in Alabama paints a very interesting picture. I remember that event back in 73. I lived in Fayetteville
    at the time and worked in Atlanta. When I called work that morning
    I was called a 'liar'[:0]quote:Originally posted by allen griggs
