<br /><br /><br /> I'm right there with ya! I worked in downtown Atlanta, and it took me 9 hours to get home in Austell. Since then, when the word SNOW was mentioned, I paid big time attention. I never wanted to experience that again. I know how the folks felt yesterday and today, trying to get home. Been there, done that...

In Snow Jam 82, it took me 9 hours to get from downtown Atlanta to Austell......Though that has been a long time ago, I never wanted to experience that again, thus, I've paid attention to the forecasts over the years, when the word SNOW was mentioned. Now, in 2014 -- Its very similar to what happened in 1982. Despite the circumstances, I'm glad there's mobile phones, laptops, I-Pads, the Web, FB, etc., that were seriously used here in 2014 -- people were able to communicate as much as possible, with loved ones, and get updates, something that didn't happen in 1982, due to the changes in t

It's just something about snow and going to the Waffle House -- it's just a "Southern Thing!!"

Okay -- Admit It -- Who's Going to one of the local Waffle Houses today?!?!? If you've been today,say so!! Fess Up!!!

Lady Raider has very good intentions, with her post / no offense, LR! Folks, do stay home. No sense in getting out there, to go "joy riding." Believe it or not, there's people still trying to get home from yesterday, and they've been on the roads for HOURS.

This morning, I has a 9:00 meeting with a client -- weather fine when I left the house. 10:15 - I'm heading back home, flurries were coming down, with "dusting" collecting on the roads. Thankfully I didn't have to leave Dallas. Given the time frame, I can't help but wonder why the schools didn't get the buses rolling till a couple hours later..Could have been avoided...

Paulding Schools Closed Wednesday -- That's All I know about the Schools..

I glanced out of the window -- and across the street, my neighbor is walking his dog, in this weather. Wait a minute, he and his dog keep sliding; and sliding; and sliding. Adds new meaning to walking the dog...

I'll be right over, neighbor -- now that the Tiki Bar is open!!

They probably ran out of milk, bread, beer, and toilet paper....

.........One Flew Over the cuckoo's Nest........

Just found out that the Community Center in Hiram is open -- anyone stranded in that area, may want to go there.

With the school buses being on the road, taking kids home, do exercise consideration, patience, and caution, with the buses, more so than usual.

BTW -- while I was out, briefly this morning, I did notice that some Power Company Contractors were trimming back some of the tree branches, near the power lines -- probably as a precautionary....

Went out for about an hour, met with new client, in Dallas -- as of this time, the roads are fine, starting to get the dusting...
