This Just Isn't Right!
I protest! This just can't be happening! There is strange white stuff falling from the sky. In Georgia. In March.
And it's cold. Where is that global warming I've been hearing so much about? I need it NOW!
Here's the report from weather.com:
PERIOD OF LIGHT SNOW EXPECTED ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL GEORGIA THIS MORNING...
A DEEP UPPER LOW WILL CONTINUE MOVING NORTHEAST THIS MORNING OUT OF THE TENNESSEE VALLEY TOWARD THE MID- ATLANTIC REGION BY AFTERNOON. MUCH COLDER AIR IS SPREADING INTO WEST AND NORTH GEORGIA BEHIND THIS SYSTEM. LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS ACCOMPANYING THE UPPER SYSTEM ARE CHANGING TO LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA.
A PERIOD OF LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS FROM TWO TO FOUR HOURS MAY OCCUR ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA THIS MORNING...WITH A LIGHT DUSTING POSSIBLE ON GRASSY SURFACES. SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN ABOVE FREEZING DURING THIS EVENT...THUS NO TRAVEL PROBLEMS ARE ANTICIPATED AND MOST OF THE SNOW WILL MELT AS IT FALLS ON ROAD SURFACES.
Eric, of course, is very excited. He's only seen snow (that dreaded four letter word that probably shouldn't be used in mixed company) a couple of times in his life. The child is under the delusion that he's missing out on something by not needing a sled, skis, and ice skates.
That's a snowflake on his face. A face previously untouched by snow.
Personally, (just in case you didn't get the idea that I don't like snow) I don't like snow. I don't like cold. By the way, cold is defined as anything below 70 degrees. I don't live in the "deep south" just for the sweet tea, boiled peanuts, and collard greens. And I don't live down here for snow. I want warmth! Maybe I should move further south. Like to the Amazon. I hear Brazil is nice this time of year.
