"Light Snow" 01/07/10


Starting yesterday evening, the major news topics here have been snow, snow and more snow. Each weather station claimed snow would begin to fall Thursday afternoon.

A severe weather warning has been running all day. Schools have closed in most counties and my husbands building may close as well.

As promised the snow did fall today. It started at about 3 p.m. We rushed out into the cold to be apart of this weather apparition! It was like a light sprinkling of snow. Tiny balls of ice blanketed the ground outside our home for about a half hour.

Schools are still closed, but weather forecasts now show "light snow" around Atlanta. It's still coming down here, but looks more like frost than anything else. Our entire neighborhood must know by now that we are from California. We stood out in the cold in jammies and took multiple pictures.

Tomorrow the snow should be gone, until further notice. We now deal with the other problems that come with freezing temperatures: black ice, ice in general on the roads, frozen pipes and hefty energy bills.
