Atlanta seems to be bringing in the new year with a bang! Less than a week after The Peach dropped into Underground Atlanta to welcome a new decade into the world, a ferocious storm attacked Georgia dumping inches of snow in Atlanta! Thermometers every were have been struggling to make it past about 25 degrees and Ga Power executives are somewhere celebrating over the revenues that only God can bring as heating systems continue to run non-stop.
Maybe I’m exaggerating a bit about it being an actual blizzard, but we did truly get some snow fall. Anyone in Atlanta that’s not from Atlanta knows that the whole town goes crazy at the mention of snow. Roads shut down, schools close and there are accidents galore! We’re talking about a city that may see 8-10 inches of snow a year. Everyone thinks we over the top with our reactions to the weather, but we’re just not used to it and just not equipped to operate in something that we hardly ever experience.
The pic above is of my car while I was pumping gas. I didn’t have the luxury of staying at home this time around. Unfortunately I have the kind of job where there are no vacation or sick days!
I didn’t have much difficulty driving in the conditions. You just have to drive much slower than normal. Besides, driving slowly and being the only car on the road helps you to get nice pics!
While it was a pretty site, the snow was more of a dusting than a blizzard! I didn’t have much of a chance to enjoy it other than taking pictures. Let’s see what next week brings!
