<br /><br /><br /> You know how some people are -- despite the warnings of staying off the roads, they just got to go out and see for themselves...Talk about being stupid...

Power on here....Winndale / Cochran Ridge, 5 minutes from 278 / 61.

From PC Sheriff's Office Facebook Page: Winter weather has arrived in Paulding County. Please do not test the roads, they are extremely slick already.

Sleeting here -- I'm 5 minutes from 278 / 61...... We're going to be in for a long day -- hope everyone stays safe and warm....

<br /><br /><br /> Bumping this up, just in case!

<br /><br /><br /> I just came from there, about an hour ago.....It was better stocked than what I thought it be, and I was able to get the things I needed, with no problem -- the amount of people there wasn't bad, was like a normal day at the grocery store...

<br /><br /><br /> You and me both, LR -- I just hope and pray that it's more bark than bite, and an over-reaction to what happened a couple of weeks ago...

Hiram Community Center will be open Tuesday Evening @ midnight (2/11/14) until Thursday (2/13/14) until Noon for Shelter and Stranded motorists. The Community Center is located at 217 Main Street behind the Hiram Police Department.

Just came back from Kroger (278 / 61) -- wasn't bad at all...Was like a typical day there, and things were getting stocked back up..Got everything I needed!

<br /><br /><br /> If the power goes out here, I'm walking over to your house!!

What I did notice, a couple weeks ago - the day Snow Jam 2014 began -- Power Company contractors were out on the roads cutting back trees / branches away from the power lines -- this was in the area of Windale, near 278 / 61.....Hopefully this was being done elsewhere in Paulding...

Milk and Bread....

Would someone be sure to tell the Governor, Mayor Reed, GEMA, School Systems,etc., etc.?!?!?!

I'm so ready for the beach - you know, sun, sand, suds, surf, tropical breezes, and a margarita.... Where's Jimmy Buffet when you need him?!?!?

Let it Snow, Let it Snow!!! Just Kidding!!! ROFL!!!

I use Waste, and the normal pickup day in on Wednesdays -- Objectively speaking, given the road conditions, I really didn't expect pickup, this past week -- It's just one of those minor inconveniences that comes with what we had this past week. No big deal...

I want More Snow....In about 3, 4 years from now!!!

Got mail -- Winndale / Cochran Ridge area, near 278 / 61

<br /><br /><br /> I read that online, too, today, can't remember where -- Just in Case, let the lessons be learned from this week, prepare us for the end of next week. I'd rather be safe, than sorry.

<br /><br /><br /> You're Right -- We, as in "Metro Atlanta," are very much car / suv / truck oriented. A lot of people commute to downtown, Midtown, Buckhead, Northside, Marietta, etc. Metro Atlanta is pretty much "very spread out." I'd venture to say, from the very center of downtown Atlanta, metro Atlanta is like, what 50 miles in every direction - north, south, east, and west. I wish we, as in "Metro Atlanta," had better forms of transportation, if you will.

I'm assuming there's a lot of black ice out there -- if someone has to go out, try and wait till about lunch time. Give some time for the temps to rise up, and for the road crews to do their thing.
