2011 Snow

Aww man. I've been hit hard with snow these past few weeks.

When I was in Virginia Beach visiting my mom, we got a lot of snow there. I wanted to drive my mom back to Atlanta so that she could see my new house. The snow was so bad, we never got a chance to come down. She's going to make a trip down in a few weeks.

Now, Atlanta gets hit with snow this past weekend. Apparently, no one told Atlanta that you need to treat the snow/ice BEFORE it snows and not after. So, they brought in a bunch of additional snow trucks to help with the snow. However, the trucks didn't shovel the snow when it was actually snowing. These geniuses decided to wait until after it snowed and froze over to then get the shovels and salt out. Needless to say it's been a clusterf*ck ever since then. The schools have been shut down every day this week, and will be shut down again tomorrow, which is Thursday. That's mainly because the temperatures have not even reached to above freezing.

I saw the UPS man and the mail truck today. I made the mistake of asking the mail woman how the roads were. She said they weren't too bad. So, I go out in my truck and try to make a run for it...mainly because I'm going stir crazy.

THIS chick. I don't know what her idea of not that bad is, but the road I went down was HORRIBLE. This is the main road I need to take to get to the highway. It was covered with ice and snow like it had just happened. I almost slid into the ditch. Then when I went to make a u-turn, I almost got stuck in the ice. Needless to say I carried my butt on home. Looks like I won't be heading out of here until it warms up sometime this weekend.

I'm just glad I didn't lose power. I've been pretty lucky on that end. I have food, heat and electricity, so I'm not doing too bad.

Too bad I didn't think to buy liquor.

Damn.
