I guess I will turn to the Weather channel for a few minutes and see what happened. I know this must be a REAL PITA. Deep snow is something you want to see on vacation... not on your roof, driveway, walkway, streets, and everything else. I don't remember the year but we had some tropical storm blow up from the gulf. It caught most everyine by surprise. My sister was living on the intercostal at Sheel Point, FL and it caught her completely by surprise. Her house was on stilts. It washed away the car, the boat survived (I think). Then it moved up through NW GA and dropped about 3 ft of snow. Now 3 ft of snow in GA is unheard of. The divided 4 lane (hwy 41) looked like a two rut country road. I had a 4-wheel Nissan and still had to put chaiins on it to drive around. We spent the day picking up and deivering kerosene heaters etc.
It shut down almost everything.... of course an inch of snow shuts everything here down and don't even thin about ice. People here have NO idea how to drive in ANY of it. The don't turn into the slide, they press the brakes as hard as possible and if the car don't go they give it more gas... not good.
I really hope you guys (guys includes gals to me) are all OK. Maybe if you had "iced tea", what we here call "sweet tea" al year 'round... things like this wouldn't happen.
Julien PS: I hope it wasn't too bad for those who are still suffering from Sandy... "cold and wet" without a private and cozy home to retreat into must really, really SUQ.
