Dodged what bullet? Give me snow!!! :occasion-snowman: :occasion-snowman: :occasion-snowman: :occasion-snowman: :occasion-snowman: :occasion-snowman:
And paralyze the area for another week. No thanks. Not any more. It was fun while growing up but not any more.

I can work from home. :D

Actually, it would be nice to be back in South Jersey for this. When we had 18 inches while I was up there in December, we were plowed out and back around town within 24 hrs of the snow ending. Part of me would love to live back where snow is common - it's no big deal and you can still get around.

Ozzie alluded to it in the LTE for Boone's forecast, ours is similar for tomorrow...winds gusting past 50MPH. That is no fun anywhere, especially when it's cold.

Adding to my post count and the above discussion, from the link
Folks who don't actually read the forecast but talk about it anyway will be naysayers about sunset today; then will become believers again Wednesday. Behind the front this evening, sharply colder air (rivaling the coldest of the season thus far) will arrive on gusty NW winds. Later tonight, Wednesday, and early morning Thursday, expect snow and blowing snow with blizzard conditions at times. Temperatures will be bitterly cold (low single digits up to and 10° to 15° in valleys) by Wednesday morning. Winds will be brutal gusting to 55 mph during the daytime Wednesday and to 70 mph Wednesday night. Gusty winds will continue well into Thursday. Winds chills on mountaintops will be below -30° and below -10° in valleys.
Done!

Could you imagine NOT having weather? The reduction in small talk would have crippled the development of speech.

Atlanta tends to be about 12-24 hours ahead of the Piedmont of N.C. in weather, and true to form, those high winds are here. It's howling outside. And in a 20-minute drive, the temp dropped four degrees. Getting collllllllllllllld!

The weather gods are saying chance for snow here on Friday. I hope they are right.

I don't miss living in the mountains one bit. My place was 3/4 way up a mountain, with a 1/2 mile long dirt driveway. Long spells like this of shitty weather meant lots of days of parking at the bottom and walking up.

The wind isn't as strong as last night but it's still somewhat strong. Maybe today all the snow will be gone.
