Heh, this describes my situation exactly! The Atlanta metro area has shut down for the day, and it's extremely doubtful that things will be much better tomorrow.

Yeah, Nashville's probably pretty shut down--I should check the news. The salt trucks are out in force, though, and even have cleared my street, which is a bitty side-one, so I'll probably have to go in tomorrow.

How many inches did y'all get? It looks like about four or so for us, which is a whole freakin' lot. And we might get more tonight.

It's about four inches in my neighborhood as well, though in other parts of the area it's closer to 6-8 inches. Which is CRAZY for this area. This morning, the Sheriff's department in my county declared every road in the county "impassable", and the temperature isn't going above freezing today, so I don't see things changing very much for tomorrow.

I heard that it got to almost 13 INCHES south of town. Which is INSANITY, I cannot imagine.

Wow. Well, stay safe and warm!

You too! I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that the power doesn't go out!

Oh, I know! We had an ice storm when I was a little girl (you might remember it--it probably got down as far as y'all?), and the electricity was out for several days, and I remember being so cold and my mama hanging quilts over our big windows at the house and rolling up towels and putting them at the bottom of the doors to the outside, trying to keep the cold out any way we could. Miserable. I really don't know how people survived before heaters, I really don't.

I definitely remember that ice storm. 1996, I think? Or maybe '95. We lost power for three days. It was so miserable.
