BTK: Our weather here in ATL might not make national news, but boy, when we get two flakes, you’d laugh your head off at the local news. It’s all the local newspapers, radio and TV talk about. We used to close schools at the drop of a flake. Now we outdo ourselves—we close schools at the mere prediction of a drop of snow. Businesses close too. And the weirdest thing is, all the grocery stores run out of bread and milk—as if the sun were not going to be out in a day or two (or an hour or two) and melt the snow.

Funny, too, when it snows, you can tell the Northerners in the neighborhood. They shovel their driveway as if there is going to be somewhere they can go! lol

Anyway Tony, enjoy the snow and warm drink when you come in from the cold.

PTurner - where are you in Hotlanta? My daughter lives just inside the perimeter near Vinings...

We will spend a few days with them and then fly to )shudder) Maine. Tony - I am having nightmares about being anywhere near that much snow. Stay warm!
