Just what you've been waiting for, a weather report from north Georgia.
Yesterday our specific part of north Georgia experienced the coldest morning of the season so far, 17°F (-8.3°C). This morning, the first significant snow (translation: other than a trace or a few flurries) in five years has been falling. It is, to coin a phrase, a winter wonderland. Local children are ecstatic because all of the schools are closed. Many members of the workforce are ecstatic as well because their places of employment are also closed.
This circumstance contributes to the northern states' continued feelings of superiority over the southern states. If the people of the midwest (Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, etc.) and the northeast (New York, Philadelphia, Buffalo, Boston, etc.) stayed home every time a little snow fell, no work would take place for months on end.
In other news, I have now completed and submitted to Storyworth my responses to the the first two of their 52 questions. So far it is a lot of fun and also a lot of work.
If you have a lot of time on your hands -- maybe you're snowed in and can't get out and about -- take a look at this list of 25 Of the Most Inspiring Books Everyone Should Read that popped up on my computer today. Sad to say, I have read only one of the 25, The Count Of Monte Cristo, #16. How many have you read, or even heard of?
I have concluded that every passing day, I am more and more out of touch with what is going on in the world. It is a startling revelation, to say the least.
