Its snowing in Vancouver and that is just not right.

Tell those people in Texas, Kansas and Oklahoma about global warning. They're sitting in snow right now.

BTW, the average temps in Nov in ATL is in the 50's. Our "cold" times usually hit in Jan-Mar.

First thing I tell any "yankee" who bitches about Atlanta weather is if you dont like it, stick around a couple of days because it'll be the opposite.

An unseasonable long warm fall though typically means we're gonna get blasted with at least one good snow storm in winter. Now keep your perspective here....a snow storm in Atlanta is 3 inches. And the weatherman can just say the word "snow" and people will flood the grocery stores and buy up all of the milk and bread.

our first winter here we had a snow "storm"

it was 1" laying on the ground at 6am...they shut down EVERYTHING...even mcdonalds was closed

the snow was melted by noon, so here was the entire city of atlanta shut down with no snow on the ground

fun times...atlanta is very qwerky in the winter

Problem with Atlanta is we get so little snow and ice here that most of the people have virtually no experience driving on it. This means even if you do know how to do it, there's always some idiot out there who doesn't that may slide into you while trying to get turned into Kroger to buy the last loaf of bread in town.

I personally love to drive on snow and ice. If it's out there, good chance you'll find me exploring my inner redneck by finding a large parking lot to "play" in. I love to drive slideways.

My usual strategy is get home, sit tight while everyone cleans out Kroger and Publix. Then when the "storm" hits and scares everyone in, that's when I go out...usually late at night.

One year when we had several inches, a really good snow, I waited til late night and drove to Helen with a girl friend. The town was absolutely beautiful as there were NO tracks anywhere, perfect white blanket. Only people out were me and the local cop who thought I was nuts.

Drove back long before daybreak and was making the only set of tracks on the highway til I got down to around Commerce. No 4WD, that's for wimps, this is all in a regular rwd passenger car.

I'd better keep my trap shut
