It finally happened...

Snow in Atlanta. I'm staying home, keeping the salt off the seven and yapping on the forum. Should be gone by the weekend.

the drive to cali is mostly boring with the exception of the run from medford OR to redding CA.

that is unless you take the coast.

This is our first snowfall in 2 years, from what I've heard. I've been gone in the meantime, but that's the rumor. I love snow, but I'm sure glad it's rare.

two years is correct. We had nothing last year. But we did have a real nice one the year before that. It is now raining where I am at and the snow is going away very quickly.

Lousy snow. My seven isn't coming out until all of this stupid snow melts. We got home from a trip and there were three feet of snow everywhere. It was a pain shoveling my Subaru out. I can't wait for spring and my seven to come out of the garage!

You got snow, Lotus! But I guess all that cold preserves the cars, no sunburn or anything.

Once it hits the freezing mark, it's shorts weather for me. Most the missourians around here look at me like I'm crazy. Lived by Lake Superior for five years straight. It'll do that to you when there is 9 months of winter and 3 months of bad sledding Up until the last year I was there they didn't even use salt. Just sanded the place instead.
