I Got A Snow Day!!

[Engineer1911]

Step-daughter in north Atlanta took from 10 PM to 5 AM to get home Tuesday night, a distance of 15 miles on a 4 lane divided highway. May people ran out of gas, abandoned their cars and walked. Remember 80% of cars on road have less than 1/4 tank of gas.

Here in the Augusta, GA area there is 3/8" of solid ice and ~2" of snow. Lost power from 12:05 AM to 12:30 AM this morning. Every city street with a steep hill (there are many hills) is closed to traffic. We have power, chicken roasting in the oven, I'm retired, Mrs Engineer has snow day, and life is good!!!!

I got one today! And probably tomorrow too, seein' as how we're snowbound by the 1/2 inch of sleet covered by three inches of snow around here!

Might have to extend it on into the weekend, come to think of it....

We had about 7" of it so everything is shut down and closed. A state of emergency is declared all over this part of the state. It was the light fluffy stuff instead of our usual wet and heavy. I did the usual shoveling of the deck, walk, porch and driveway. Even though it was cold and windy I realized I like shoveling snow a whole lot more than raking leaves.

Nevada has not seen a drop of water in so long, that I did not even buy a duck stamp this year!!

This is a picture of one of our bigger lakes in the area and the farmers and ranchers are getting Federal aid as I speak....
no water for the crops to go over the spill way

All the weather is going North of us, then dropping down........

I went shooting yesterday: not a cloud in the sky. There was a little wind and a jacket felt good but the sun was warm. The four Model 39s I took out enjoyed the outing.
