Winter in Georgia

Weather in Georgia February style. Shorts to sweaters in the same week. The past 3 weeks we added snow apparel.  You can read about the beginnings of the first snow storm wave here:

There has been criticism, hearings and plans for the next snowstorm. Basically, Georgians are not equipped to handle anything except hot, muggy weather. Yell "Fire" in a crowded room and see what happens. Warn of snow in Georgia and we experience January 28, 2014.

Notice the time stamp 12:09 AM!



Two weeks later we were threatened with snow, again. We listened. Stores shelves empty. Essential personal in place and prepared to stay for several days.

The Forecast was accurate. Schools and businesses in Georgia sent everyone home early or cancelled before the day began. We were homebound for 3 lovely days. 


Snow does not last long here. Melted and roads clear. We were free to enjoy a wonderful Valentine's dinner in Atlanta Friday night.

 It is 4 am Friday February 21. Rain and Tornado Watch.

Like I said, Fickle Georgia Weather.
