Of course I'm in Hot-Lanta (Atlanta) on leave during probably the last snow storm of the year.

But then again, I've been in shorts and a t-shirt since I got here. Oh, and I kayaked and fished the Chattahoochee River for about 5 miles two days ago.

So left the house around 10 this moring to go pick up my little sister from school. Then I hung out with family all day. Jenn and I ended up getting home around 9:30 to find 3 feet of snow piled up infront of our gate and inside out little backyard. I had to break our gate just to get in to the door.

Days before the storm actually hit all I saw from all the weather channels/sites, news agencies was this "Blizzard/winter Storm" was going to be this BIG event.

I am sorry I have lived here most of my life as many of you and every late winter / early spring we get most of our heavy snowfall. March to May you can expect big heavy wet snow storms. Granted we have been pretty dry this season, but the way the news was blasting it, I was expecting this "Day After Tomorrow" event that turned out to be typical heavy spring snow storm. In fact I didn't even take any pics..............as I find this storm so unremarkable.

People act like this never happens in Co. What it was 2006/2007 winter we had the Blizzards back to back and heavy snow every weekend for like 6 weeks. Then before that I remember that Blizzard in March that dumped 3' of snow in 24 hours. Now those were big events to write home about!

I just laughed at all those that still do not know how to drive in this stuff or haven't learned yet that if you drive a car that is not equipped properly for driving in snow/ice you should just stay home instead of trekking out and getting stranded................................ :yelclap:

We need it, and more of it!

I took the family up to Gross reservoir a month ago and it was half empty. If it keeps up with this dry weather it will be like the drought of years back.

Everything else is closed and no one on base will do anything that requires leaving their office, almost guaranteed. $20 says I do nothing all day. I don't even have paperwork to catch up on..................:speepin:
 
we got about 10 inches in bailey, going out to plow the driveway, sun is shining this morning.

lots of wrecks on 285 yesterday.
