whats the scoop? I havent been watching the news.
I'm supposed to go to Tampa, don't have a ticket yet but planned on buying one. I might end up going to the mountains instead haha.
Just preparing my menu. Normally we do our grocery shopping over the weekend, but I think people are about to go nuts here. Also going to gas up everything beforehand. Also going to dig up some left over freeze dried food from this summer and throw it in the back.
My concern here in Atlanta isn't the actual weather, its all of the people. You get one Chevy Impala sideways on 10th st, and all of midtown is SCREWED. Getting stuck on the road for 36 hours can and has happened here.
Assuming it doesn't come early and everyone can get home fine on Friday night, we should have some solid snow Saturday morning. Already some buddies and I are going to go cruise up in the mountains. I did that last year, it was cool.

My cousin and her family are at Disney this week so she decided to extend her trip. Just has to figure out how to get her tickets because they're being shipped to her house.
They will do an electronic ticket that you print out to use for the game and mail the hard copies next week to keep in good condition and save as collectors items.
Is that from the university ticket office or stubhub? I think it was IPTAY tickets that were the concern then she was trying to get 1 more.
Aiken and North Augusta are getting a few flurries.
We had to drive to Greenville to see real snow. Once we got above I -185 there was snow everywhere and the roads were decently covered. We didn't really have a plan, so we decided to see if Jones Gap was open. In hindsight, probably could've figured that it wouldn't be. Stopped outside the gate, goofed around by the river and then started heading back as the most amazing blue sky appeared. And we made a tiny snowman. The snow was so dry it would not stick together to roll into a big ball.....

We had a touch in northern GA. Atlanta went NUTS on Friday. Nothing happened except a bunch of rain. In the morning, only the shaded spots had ice.
I went up to the GA mountains and played around. It was fun, but for the most part, the trucks broke through the snow and to the mud. It was more like a very cold day of wheeling. I got one of my hub lockouts covered in mud, the mud then froze. I had to chisel it away to unlock for the ride home.
There is black ice on my back porch were water came from the downspout. That is fun.
