North Georgians can now die happy

Snow began falling about 11:00 this morning.

The roofs are now white.

The sidewalks are now white.

The grass in our yard is now white.

It is now 1:30 in the afternoon.

The snow continues to fall.

We may receive as much as half an inch with drifts approaching one inch.

Traffic has come to a complete halt.

All the schools have been closed.

All of us are stocked up on milk, bread, and toilet paper until this monster storm ends.

We feel a close kinship with the residents of Chicago, Illinois; Flint, Michigan; and Minot, North Dakota.

  4. Ok, you can take Mrs. RWP out sledding on the toboggan. She rides, you pull. After you sled for a bit, you make a snowman. You finish up with snow angels, head inside for hot cocoa and THEN you can die happy.
    Wear your mittens and be sure to keep your feet warm. I suggest wool sox and Duck boots. Don't forget a hankie.
    Happy Snow day to you!!!
