Storm in the SOUTH! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Shelby&Seymour · 01-09-2011, 03:52 PM

Oh My... looks like you southern peeps are in for some NASTY weather! Is anyone experiencing it yet?
Remember, it isn't worth getting out on the roads in a "state of emergency". They are saying there are many accidents because of the ice in some areas.... Be safe Y'ALL! (wouldn't it be fun to just stay home and hang out with the furkids anyway? )

I heard that earlier today...they better brace themselves.

Shelby&Seymour · 01-09-2011, 05:09 PM

Maybe a good idea to charge the cellphones if you have them!!!

I'm hunkered down and waiting for it to hit. I stocked up on the milk, bread, lunch meat, dog food and TP (something about snow makes us Southerner's need extra TP). The kids are excited because they've already announced the schools are closed tomorrow.

I am in Arkansas and it has been snowing all day. And we just found out, No school tomorrow!

Shelby&Seymour · 01-09-2011, 05:41 PM

Woot Woot for the kids! A snow DAY!

my2boyz · 01-09-2011, 05:45 PM

Exactly where is this storm supposed to hit?

Rhetts_mama · 01-09-2011, 05:50 PM

It's supposed to stretch from Louisianna up to the Carolinas. I'm sure places like Green Bay are laughing at us panicking over 6 inches of snow.

LOL.... not at all. I used to live in Michigan and there is a HUGE difference in the states that are prepared for accumulations of snow and the ones who aren't. Also a big difference in the people that are accustomed to driving in it regularly!

Thanks. I'm in Central Il. and I panic over 6" of snow! I hate snow...well, I shouldn't say that...I hate driving in snow and I hate the cold winds and ice that come with it sometimes...I guess I really don't have anything against snow itself

That's true. Atlanta is definitely NOT prepared to handle snow. There are a total of 8 sand trucks in the Metro area. No one here has snow tires or even chains. We seriously go in to shut down when we do get a Winter weather event. Now wind we can handle. In fact, a lot of us are those idiots who are standing outside on our front porch with the video camera as the tornado goes by...LOL.

I grew up in Tornado Alley and my Dad used to stand out in the middle of the street to watch for tornadoes when the sirens went off...my Mom used to get so aggrevated at him!

I am posting pictures of the snow and Rosie in a new thread.

She is not very excited over the snow!!

Ground is covered here in sleet and snow. As a teacher, glad we don't have school tomorrow, but we will have to make it up later

We still have power as of now though. And will be ready to play in the snow in the morning.
