Finally, we get our share of snow!

Well, we didn't get that much snow.  About 3 inches.  It still was all pretty and white.  I wish we got it for Christmas...


It was just a few degrees below freezing and the power didn't go off.  That was nice.  We were prepared for a power outage in any case.

Macon is a small city.  People were able to get back home quickly before the sleet, then the snow, set in. Our friends in Atlanta were not so lucky.  We kept saying "we're glad we're not living there anymore!".  Yes, we hated the traffic in Atlanta and, really, that's what messed up folks in Atlanta.  Stuck in traffic and the snow for so many hours...  People were getting out of their cars and just walking home on foot.  Or they were sleeping somewhere, anywhere safe... cars, restaurants, schools, retail stores, churches.  You just feel sorry for these people! Don't tell them about Macon.  We like it small here.
  It's nice to live in the South where you don't have long snowy winters that could be bleak, shoveling snow out your driveway just to get to work.  So when you get snow once in a while, you can enjoy it because you may not get another one for two years or so.

This one was pretty! Everything was covered in a white blanket.  And we enjoyed it!
