Native Georgian...51 years in Atlanta metro area. Snow in Atlanta is a great treat. Ice in Atlanta is devastating! I have lived thru the famous ice storms where we were without power and heat for days and in one case, over a week. I was finally able to experience a White Christmas for the first time this past Christmas. Yes, to my dear Northern friends, this seems crazy. It is! We just don't get enough of the white stuff to warrant the output for the big machinery needed to make this easy. We get snowed/iced in, we eat and drink, we get to do cross-stitch, we get to quilt. ALL IS GOOD!!!!!
