Sorry, Anne. :hug:

Sorry to hear about that Anne.

Oh nooooo!!! I just discovered that I purchased two DVDs I wanted to buy from amazon wrong and it's too late to change now! :witsend:
Oh well. I'm gonna send them back or sell them on ebay. I want all three steelbook versions. Hmpf.

WTF???

It's snowing in Hotlanta. And I don't remember anyone saying it was going to at any point over the last few days. I was up really late and slept late and what woke me up was this huge crack of thunder. So I guess we're having thundersnow. I'm just stunned. I wanted to go see Fanboys one more time today, but I don't know if I should drive 30 miles. It's not sticking to the roads. Yet. But what if it does after dark?

Those pics were taken at about 1 PM. It got worse and stayed that way for a while. But yeah, temps are hovering at or just above freezing right now. I'd say we got 2 inches, but some of it has melted and it rained a little. The problem is that it's gonna be in the 20's tonight. I expect black ice in the morning.

Nobody panicked. We were still able to get around, but I didn't feel comfortable driving 30 miles away to see a movie and coming home in the dark.

It snowed where I live in Georgia too. I have no school today! = )

domesticelefant · 02 Mar 09 :: 21:30

I'm happy that it's getting warmer here now.

I'm not, I've been wheezing and sneezing all day.

Sorry to hear that, but I am just sick of this winter.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 03 Mar 09 :: 16:32

This is hysterical...

Brilliant idea...

My dog used to do that sleep-walking thing. I always wanted to know what he was dreaming about.

And that Manilow at the mall thing... do they realize that if the kids leave, the mall will lose money? It's not just the "unruly" kids they'll get rid of, they'll probably lose a good portion of their customers. I'd leave. Or at least bring my iPod.

I think all dogs walk, run, bark, whine in their sleep at one time or another. Lacey did. But I've never seen one run like that, get up, bark and run slap into a wall. Poor doggie. He needs a helmet.

magicalturkey · 03 Mar 09 :: 20:14

Aww I somehow missed him running into the wall. Poor thing.

Midnight ran into stuff sometimes. Not right after he got up, because he usually spent about five minutes trying to figure out which direction to go. He was about 85% blind and could only see the outline of large pieces of furniture and his depth perception was horrible. He learned the layout of the house, so he stopped running into walls in a couple weeks but we could never move furniture on him. If he did bounce right up from a nap and go running, he probably would have slammed into the wall every morning.

domesticelefant · 03 Mar 09 :: 20:27

I have absolutely NOTHING to eat here, but I'm too lazy to go to the grocery store now. I guess I'll just skip dinner and only drink some tea tonight.

Oh, and I have a plan. There is this new fitness club in my town and I finally decided to join (if they have acceptable prizes).

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 04 Mar 09 :: 06:36

I didn't have school again today. Here's some pictures I took of the snow...

TheCentralScrutinizer · 04 Mar 09 :: 06:44

Those are beautiful, Mel! You guys got a few inches, didn't you? For the record, Mel lives about 70 east and northish from where I live. I think you guys were in the 3-5 inch range up there, right? We were in the 1-3 inch range.

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 04 Mar 09 :: 06:48

Thanks! The snow was about 4 inches in my neighborhood.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 04 Mar 09 :: 06:49

It's gorgeous. How were your roads?

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 04 Mar 09 :: 06:57

On Monday the roads had a lot of snow but Tuesday the snow was almost all gone.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 04 Mar 09 :: 07:06

It didn't really stick to the roads here on Sunday when it snowed for 2 hours. But it rained that evening and dropped into the 20's overnight so we had ice slicks on Monday, but at least they were scattered. We still have snow on the front lawn of the office building where I work. It's in the shade all day. Kinda eerie that it's still there, but temps and high winds have been kinda brutal. So weird that it's colder now than it was when it was snowing. Which made it heavy and slushy. And that's why we have all those iced over spots.

domesticelefant · 04 Mar 09 :: 16:15

Someone please give me something to work.

Your school closed for that little of snow?

I know. Once there was about ten inches of snow up here and my bus had to get stuck before they gave us a two hour delay. And I have a friend from Syracuse and she finds it extremely funny how people freak out over a couple inches.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 04 Mar 09 :: 16:24

As I've said before, we are not prepared for it down here since we only get an inch or two a year. We don't have proper tires, we don't know how to drive in it and we only have enough salt & sand trucks to cover the major highways. So rather than risk kids' lives the authorities play it safe and call off school. But most of us still have to go to work. I actually wrecked my car once trying to get to work. Hit a huge ice patch and couldn't stop, slammed into a concrete divider. It ain't fun.

Next times there's a 100 degree plus heatwave with 98% humidity up there where you guys live, I don't wanna hear any whining.
