WhitneyIt Snowed in Georgia and We Don't Have Clothes!
March 3rd 2009 19:50
So living in Georgia, we don't see much snow. I never had a problem with it when I was younger, but I can't stand when it snows now. I mean, it stops everything from happening, especially in an area where it normally doesn't snow, and because the people aren't used to it, everyone, many adults included, behave like children.
I just can't stand it.
Typically, when it does snow here, it doesn't stick and it certainly doesn't stay around for a few days. Well, it snowed Sunday, March 1st, 2009, and it stuck around till Monday. I even saw a few spots and several snowmen still standing on Tuesday, March 3rd.
It's cold, and I just don't like it!
Plus, being in Georgia, you really don't prepare for the temperatures that snow brings. I mean, the Saturday before it snowed it was about 75F all day long. Then Sunday morning we get snow- up to 6 inches in some places.
We don't have snow tires, and we sure don't have snow apparel.
While I was out in the snow, I saw many people in hoodies, gloves, and jeans, but that's not really anything warm enough to keep dry and warm while playing in the snow. I, myself, was in a sweater and hoodie but was still freezing.
Southerns just aren't prepared for the snow. Now, I wouldn't recommend that all Southerns go out and buy snow apparel because it'll still nearly never snow down South, but you know, it's just rather frustrating when it does snow and you have nothing to wear.

* Ear muffs
* Thick socks
* Water resistant boots/shoes
* Water resistant jacket
* Water resistant pants
* Water resistant gloves
The whole situation, has shed some light, in that I need to go shopping for a good jacket versus the lightweight jackets and pull-over hoodies that I currently have... Leave it to a girl, to say, "that's the first real snow in the past 8-9 years that we've seen... It's time to go shopping for snow apparel, or at least a better jacket." Ha
But anyway, although it was pretty, I'm glad to see it leave. Here's a shot of a tree in my grandmother's yard with a splash of snow left. I tried to get a picture of a few remaining snowmen I saw on the way to work, but it wasn't possible. Those poor snowmen will be gone in a few days; they already have sticks holding them up. (Oh and the picture above is part of my grandmother's front yard; the second tree is the same tree as the one below.)
