Night Elf Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I live in N. GA, well close to it at least, and it's been snowing since I woke up early this morning. It's supposed to snow all day. It's finally starting to stick to my driveway but I'm assuming our roads are still fine. I don't mind snow but I dislike ice. We can't leave our house when the driveway is icy because the driveway is long, skinny, and goes over a little creek. I've lived here for 12 years now and I'm still afraid I'm going to drive off into that ditch. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanny Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 If there is a Bridge over that creek, Bridges Ice First. There are signs all over the State of Texas that say that. You are more likely to find Ice on Bridges, before there is Ice on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaceseeker Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 (edited) My kids are all wide eyed and happy about the snow. I feel like such a grinch because I have to deal with getting back and forth to work, getting unhappy employees back and forth to work, and other such things. I remember when snow used to be fun!

It goes into a pipe that goes under the width of our driveway then it's back to rock and dirt ditch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes into a pipe that goes under the width of our driveway then it's back to rock and dirt ditch. It will still ice over. We have a spot like that in our drive and despite the fact that there's a few feet of dirt between the culvert and the drive, it still gets icy. Be careful. Now I'm going to text my dad. He's in North GA! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's in North GA! Okay, thanks for the warning. FWIW, when my driveway ices, my next door neighbor drives his bobcat with shovel over my driveway scraping away all the ice. He does it for many of his neighbors. Personally I think he's just using an excuse to use it. He's a sweet man. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pawz4me Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I'm in NC. We were supposed to just get a bit of slushy wet snow but an hour or so ago they put us under a winter storm warning. Not sure how much we're supposed to get now, but the ground is covered and it's coming down pretty heavily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, with all our snow, the novelty would wear off really quickly. ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xahm Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 We're enjoying our Atlanta snow, too. Getting a message at 11:41 that school was closing at noon, not so much. So, so glad we are home schooling starting next semester. I'd complain, but I'm pretty sure the parents who were at work an hour away and got the message even after I did will be tying up the lines for the foreseeable future.

ashfern Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Just love how the forecasters bungled this one. I went to bed last night with them saying "a dusting" and we're currently at 3.5 inches. Our county closed schools early (my highschooler was home by 11:45). Hoping that it warms up enough to clear the road in my neighborhood. We have our church Christmas party tomorrow night and my 9 yo has a piano recital on Sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aura Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 We saw icy mix falling. None of stuck. (Roads are a bit slippery, though.) My ds works about 45 minutes north west of us. There was two inches (per him) of snow on the ground when he left work this afternoon. Snow sticking within 20 minutes of us! But not at my house. :toetap05: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcadia Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I was thinking what natural disaster prompted ACT to reshedule so many test sites in Georgia, North Carolina and Alabama for tomorrow’s ACT test. Snow is so much better than wildfire for test sites rescheduling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcadia Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 You are not getting snow this very moment? Huh. We are. Are you by chance near the Baltimore area?

Guest Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Are you by chance near the Baltimore area? Wondering if it would still be snowing in March when we plan a trip to JHU. I am. I used to work in Baltimore City. It does sometimes snow in March, but most of our snow comes in January or February. If your trip is towards the end of March, there’s very little likelihood of snow. What we have on the ground right now is not even common for early to mid December. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravelingChris Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 It was really strange over here. We had snow to the east, to the south and to the north but nothing for us. Jackson MS got 5 inches and Mobile got snow and we got none. As to hills and snow. when I lived in DC area and we got gigantic snows (and Buffalo got very little that year), I got very good snow tires. Over here, living on an even worse hill and my driveway being fairly steep, I have a Subaru Outback (AWD) and dh has a Toyota Tundra (4 wd).
