No snow required
We southerners don't need any actual snow to have a "snow event". Like today. They started canceling flights, classes, and other events at the mere threat of snow. Half an inch, to be exact. But of course they never cancel anything where I work. I'll have to brave the mass freakoutery of Atlanta traffic on an icy morning and hope for the best.

Hope it was a safe trip
I love the word 'freakoutery'
The big plus, after wasting a half gallon of gas getting the car unfrozen, was that there was no one on the road on the way to the office.
Dianne - I was late, but made it OK. The roads are definitely treacherous with patches of black ice. The DOT only treats the overpasses and you are on your own everywhere else.
I stole the word "freakoutery" from sports message boards. I agree -- it's a good one!
Dave - I drove (very carefully) to the Doraville MARTA station and took the train to the gritty downtown work location. The four block walk was no fun at all due to the bitter cold and icy sidewalks. I need some better gloves.
Bitter cold? In Atlanta??? :snicker:
Shoot... it hit about 35 here this morning and I was sweatin' so badly I had to take my coat off.
LL - then it was warmer in Idaho than it was in Atlanta today. It was 18F when I got in the car this morning and we topped out at 24F. It isn't supposed to get above freezing until Sunday. Joy.
