Wow, where is that? We drove north to Stone Mountain to show kids
fake snow. We were hoping for a little in the Carolinas so we could
show them REAL snow, but no luck.
In the meantime, it got down to 41 this morning, maybe it was a little
cooler because the windshield had some ice on it...

East Tennessee. The NC line is about 45 minutes east, the VA line is
30 minutes north. All three were bombarded. Pics taken Dec. 19th.

I should add it hasn't warmed much since (9 degrees a couple nights
ago) and that it snowed again last night.
> Nice fireplace weather with the woman bro! Gotta think positive :)
It's all good for me, I'm basically retired in the winters.
This all started on Friday Dec 18th and my wife had to park
almost 3 miles away due to traffic that got backed up
for hours. Many people simply abandoned their cars in the
road. Luckily she was off for the next two weeks. She wasn't
good fireplace company that first night. Especially after
walking two hours in the snow, and the power going off for
two days an hour after she got home.

She's almost a 'neighbor'.. about 45 minutes away. Lot of my
buddies go to Asheville to play fooseball tournaments.
I'm two hours north of you. We got two foot of snow. I wish global
warming would hurry and hit us. ;-)
The county below me has been without electricity for over two weeks
now.
41? It's been 17 or lower here for the past week and the weather
reports are saying this will be the norm for the next 10 days and more
snow is on the way.
I go to Ashville to a club called the Orange Peel there. I saw Type O
Negative and Lordi there about two years ago.

We're entering record low territory down here, that was the point. We
drove north to see snow and failed, returned to sunny S. Florida and
have threats of sub-freezing weather.
Welcome to the great white north lol

It's been that way every year for the past 4. That's why we took the
kids to snow mountain this year. Guaranteed snow.

Before we had kids we went when we felt like it, now we're stuck to
schlepping it over xmas break like most of the rest of the country.
I'm not a big fan of commercial airlines and I'm not rich enough for a
private plane, so we usually drive. That entails an eight hour trip
just to drive up the shaft of Florida, so we're pretty limited as to
where we can go.
I have a little land in PA that I've never seen before and I'm
threatening to take them up there next year if the economy picks up
for me...

How was the fake snow at Stone Mountain? Thinking of taking the kids
there tomorrow. Been cold enough that they should have been able to
make loads of snow.

Yeah, there's that. It's been a long time since I actually stopped in
Atlanta, but I pretty much give it a yearly flyby. Underground used
to be cool, but I hear not so much any more. Atlanta looked great
from the top of Stone Mountain, btw...

St. Pete is a nice place to visit and retire to. The West Coast is
rapidly becoming god's waiting room. OTOH, it's a lot lower key than
the East Coast. My folks have a condo in Bonita Springs and it's a
great getaway off season...

Of all the pain in the ass that went with camping in 35 degree
weather, it was completely worth it for a day in the (fake) snow. My
kids have never seen it before, and it was real for all intents and
purposes. We went a couple of days after xmas so it was probably as
crowded as it was gonna get and it was fine.
The tubing area was fun, but you had to wait in line and they really
didn't think the exit strategy out too well. In the two hours we had
to use it, we went down probably 6 times, but that included a little
snow play for the kids in between.
All in all I'd recommend it. Oh, and you aren't allowed to have
snowball fights. That said, the snow police almost kicked me and my
friend's son out...

I live in sunny S. Florida, you know, the gunshine state. In fact my
office is deep in the ghetto. Five generations of my family have
lived down here, you can imagine the changes we've seen...

I love reading the Fort Myers fish wrapper when I go over there. Half
the reports in the police blotter involve cops finding joints on
people or picking up drunks that fell asleep on the beach.

So my preconceived notion of Atlanta is correct?
Actually it sounds a lot like down here. The council member reminds
me of this Fitzroy Salesman character we have down here. Only he
doesn't just do the corruption thing, he also ran from the cops while
he was driving drunk and pulled a gun on a kid waiting in line at a
grocery store. Ya gotta love island people...
