I awoke this morning to a light dusting on the yard, cars, rooftops--but not on the street. Kids had school.

I *love* watching snow fall. It's such a calming, peaceful time for me. Can't believe I missed it last night.

Yep... someone was posting on another board that it was snowing heavily and accumulating rapidly in Midtown Atlanta around 3am ET... and I was thinking about you. I knew if you were up you'd be posting about it.
This weekend *could* be an ice threat... not favorable for snow, or it could just be a cold rain. Nothing to get overly concerned about right now.
If I were you, I'd be paying close attention to the latest forecasts, major icing potential coming up with the upcoming pattern, I'm a bit concerned about it right now...
Yeah...I saw that, and I'm *not* thrilled about the possibility of ice.
Snow...I love. Ice...I detest.
I've told my story here a million times by now so I'll just hit the highlights for Tyler, but the ice storm here on January 23, 2000 nearly killed me and my kids when we had the tops of two ice laden 75ft tall pines land on our house as we slept. Those branches don't look all that big, heavy or dangerous way up high--but they're huge when they're on/in your house.
I dread, dread, dread ice storms.
If I can't have snow, and I had a choice between ice storm or cold winter rain--as much as I moan and complain here about cold winter rain--I'd rather have the rain.
