Everyone in N. GA has been running around like a chicken with its head cut off, over some potential ice and snow. So far it hasn't even gotten down to freezing, yet.

HA! It's been 21 at night here! We got a dusting of snow, but it's melted except in the perma-shade... Bitter bitter WIND though!

Oh, and I don't get schadenfreude -- I get flashbacks to "lake effect weather":

I went to college at SUNY Oswego,a mere 20 feet south of Lake Ontario! We'd get, like, 4' of snow over night -- and at 8 a.m. the roads were all plowed, the sidewalks were shoveled, and they were busing the little kids to school!! I was once passed by a plow-truck -- with a FIFTEEN-FOOT blade! He was racing down the "main road" shooting a rooster tail of snow looked to be about 30' high, and 20' off the side (too bad for your driveway, eh?) Impressive -- and I was quite used to it -- but REALLY glad I am no longer there!

Yeah, JUST like this! (From this guy's blog: https://insidetimshead.wordpress.com/tag/edward-austin-sheldon/ ) (And from 2007: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/12/nyregion/12snow.html?_r=0 : "Oswego County, a rustic string of towns and villages on the southeastern rim of Lake Ontario, received 5 to 10 feet of snow over eight days." ) (Glad I lived there. Glad I no longer live there!)
