Hell Has Frozen Over

As I listened to the weather reports about the impending gloom and doom heading our way, I expected nothing but a flirtation with this snow coming our way. So, yesterday afternoon, as I headed to my favorite bakery for its "Snow Day Special" (soup, rolls and pie!! yummy) and the flakes were coming down, I was pleased, but wasn't expecting a snow day. That's not how my district rolls. Suck it in, figure it out, get those kids on the bus - coats and wind chill or not. And if the superintendent does call it, he usually does so at about 5AM - worthless in my opinion.

However, there has been a miracle here in the South. I am home this fine day because of snow AND Alabama is the National Champion!! Roll Tide- we mess with Texas.

Even though hell has frozen over, it's going to be a good day.

Snow in Atlanta?

Bring it!!!

Snow Day, Part 2

This is what cancelled churches across the metropolitan area. Churches, people. Now, maybe it was the black ice, but, by golly, they cancelled church. IHOP and Waffle House? Open. Target? Open. I understand that Methodists and Baptists need an occasional snow day; but, people, some of the Catholic churches called it. The Catholics!!! I didn't think Catholics called it for anything. I remember as a child Mass in Latin, nuns in full habit and fish on Friday; never in the rule book did it state 'we'll close for snow days in the south.' I mean, didn't they have mass in Green Bay?

Whatever. I'll take a snow day in any form. I mean, really. I just got ready for the day. And I think that I'll be going to bed shortly. Well, maybe after that Green Bay game. After all, I really want to see what cold looks like.

We Got Dusted

For about two hours, this is what the deep south looked like. I had to drive around in it. I walked around in it and it was luscious.

Then, it started to rain. RAIN. When does it snow first and then rain?

But that's all right. It was lovely for a while. And today, well, I had the foresight to take a personal day to take care of some personal business.
