Double Snow Day!

The weather has gotten crazy down here in Georgia!  People have been referring it to "Snowpocalypse" with only about 1 1/2 inches of snow.  Yesterday the offices and schools let everyone out at the same time, 1:45, and the roads were instantly grid locked.  Nobody here knows how to drive in snow!  Pretty soon our roads turned icy and the craziness hasn't stopped.  It took Fred 8 hours to drive home from work and it took Roy 6 hours.  Luckily it only took me 45 minutes, but that was because I got a head start and left early.  Coming from the same school, my mom wasn't as lucky and it took her 2 hours to get home.  Thank goodness we had enough gas!  Most of the school buses couldn't make their routes so many students spent the night in their schools.  Now that we are safe at home we are starting to enjoy the snow, but we are one of the few families that made it home.  Many people spent the night at their jobs or wherever they happened to be when this started (grocery stories, restaurants, etc.).  Thankfully it will be in the 60's this weekend.  For my mom and I school is closed today and they are also closing for tomorrow, so it's a double snow day here!  Roy and I have been spending it outside enjoying the snow.  Blue loves it!  We played in the yard with her for a long time and then walked the neighborhood.  We took tons of photos that will be great for Christmas cards next year!  The rest of the day we will probably watch tv, play cards and play boards games because the roads are still to dangerous to drive on.  I still can't believe that all this has happened, I didn't even know we had a chance for snow!  One things for sure, I know I'm in Georgia now because our weather prides itself on being unpredictable.

Snow day in GA?!? Who would have thought... I would have freaked out if I were stuck in traffic for 6 or 8 hours. What if I had to pee? :) What beautiful pictures! The one with Blue all snowy is my fave.
Enjoy your day off

A lot of people did have to pee! Also people were getting hungry and running out of gas. On the news they even said that a women was in labor and never could get to the hospital, so she gave birth to her third child in her car with her other two children with her! Crazy!
