Snow in the ATL

Better late than never...It snowed in Atlanta around mid- January. Much to our surprise, it snowed about 5 inches and stuck around for about a week. We don't get snow like this very often if ever and the whole town shut down due to being ill-prepared for such weather. Though beautiful, it was some what dangerous due to the below freezing temps and ice covering the snow and the roads. Since the city and surrounding areas did not have enough man power or equipment to control the roads, the only thing we could do was wait until the temperature got above freezing and the ice could melt. Mom was called back to work on Wednesday, and the city got back into gear by Friday. Dad was conveniently off work during this time, so the three of us got to enjoy some family time in the snow. I was excited to play, but when I kept getting my little short legs stuck in-between the ice and snow, I was about over it. Dad got a cardboard box and he and Mom slid down the front lawn a few times. It was fun to get snowed in, but we are glad it is now over. Cabin-fever creeps up really fast!
