Yeah I read that in FL they thought about closing down the roads for 2" of snow!  If this crazy weather keeps up your street crews will have to head north to get some training...we still have 2-3 feet everywhere and its been in the 40's lately!   ;D
GBR!

Newknapper I'm about 55 miles due south of Augusta Ga on U.S.1. I know what you mean about the road crews we have like one plough in my county and they keep it inside so it don't rust away.

yeah, we've got about 2-3 inches here where I live in Canton (about 40 minutes north of Atlanta).  It makes for pretty hunting in the woods!

my in laws in Lyons, GA said it was snowing there, too.  In all the years I had lived in GA never once did it snow.  I move to NY and boom, snow.

Mike, i am not a very relegious person,but sacrilegious i am not.
we did stop and meet Pappy,Shannon,Greg B,Jesse,and others
all of which are very very kind,gacious and generouis peoples
very glad we stopped
we stopped in friday evening for a few hours and went back saturday late morning and stayed untill mid afternoon,then we hd to get back on the road.
i have to say my wife is the greatest woman alive too.she stood there(mostly bored)in the cold(something like 35 degrees) while i sat in the famous "knapping pit"
i had such a wonderfull time while i was there.these folks make you feel so welcome that you never want to leave.
well i will stop there as i dont want to hijack this thread with my ramblings.

We only had 2" of fine powder. 8)  It was perfect for our friend from Savannah that came up for snow. She has tried for over a month but the other snows were bigger and we were afraid she wouldn't be able to get back on the road home. With the snow that was still on the ground this snow just covered up the ugly that had been exposed, hung beautifully on the trees and bushes and began melting yesterday afternoon. These pics are this morning before Terry left.
  This is my wife Marcia(rt) and friend Terry and Lucy Brown our choc lab. This is what is left this morning. Yesterday was the beautiful day.      Calling for 2" to 5" more tonight and tomorrow and it has already started.
