Global warming has been renamed to "climate change", so that when crap like this happens Al Gore can still be right.
Anyway, I flew down last night from Philly to Atlanta. Got in before the snow started, got to my hotel in Norcross and watched the snow fall. Very beautiful.
I have a front-wheel drive car. I know how to drive in this, but since 99% of the guys on the roads (the few that have to be there) don't, I will just stay in my hotel today. The local office I work from is closed.
Would be nice if they had plows, because given the extended temp forecast this might be here a while. However, i understand that the capital investment in plows isn't prudent given that this type of storm followed by several days of low temps is not normal (10 to 20 years kinds occurence).
The sad part is that in the Northeast people would get out with shovels even if needed to clear cars, sidewalks and even side streets rather than let this turn to ice (okay, not so much in the cities, but the burbs). Around here, I guess people don't own shovels, gloves, snow scrapers and what not. My car is all cleared, and I am itching to get out...everyone else is crying in the hotel. Wussies!
Just proof that the South will Fall Again! :banana:
