Kilted in the snow down south

[DrewO]

After 11 winters in NH, I got a real kick out of my first "Storm Watch" in Atlanta. I sent the following warning from the National Weather Service to my friends back north:

"...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 4 PM THIS AFTERNOON TO 6 AM EST THURSDAY...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN PEACHTREE CITY HAS ISSUED A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 4 PM THIS AFTERNOON TO 6 AM EST THURSDAY...ALONG AND NORTH OF A LINE FROM FRANKLIN TO GRIFFIN TO MONTICELLO TO WARRENTON.

AT THIS TIME...IT APPEARS THE GREATEST CONCERN WILL BE THE THREAT OF SLEET OR SNOW MIXING WITH THE RAIN THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. NO SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS OF FROZEN PRECIPITATION ARE EXPECTED. DUE TO INCREASING EASTERLY WINDS...TEMPERATURES ARE NOT EXPECTED TO WARM MUCH DURING THE AFTERNOON...REMAINING IN THE LOW TO MID 40S. "

Needless to say, I've been enjoying my first winter here.

Winter in Atlanta gets better, sometimes we go for several years and never see snow or ice. I for one appreciate the winters here, I have lived in Kansas, West Virginia and Pennsylvania. I've had my feel of snow and cold weather.
