    Nice neighborhood! I'm always tempted to ask people what they do for a living when I see houses like that.

    Im about 40 miles north of Atlanta, and I woke up this morning thinking it was all hype - nothing but rain and water on the roads, some ice on the cars and other objects. (The MM is inside the garage, of course)

    I was surprised to see that I-75 was closed in Atlanta - I turned the news on and thought why the heck is it icy and nasty SOUTH of me????????

    I saw news footage of car after car getting sideways on an overpass - none of the drivers paid enough attention to the cars ahead or the "ice on bridge" signs, as one after the other almost wreck.

    Be carefull down there!

    I'm en route to Dixieland today and tomorrow myself. Trip was going good until about a third of the way through VA. The snow started about 4pm just south of Winchester, but the temp was still good. By Woodstock, it was starting to stick and the thermometer was reading 26*F, which means the salt stops working. I bailed out in Staunton for the night. I checked into my room, took a shower, and headed across the parking lot for dinner. In that ammount of time, the snow had changed to ice, and my car was already glazed. Hope it's gone by checkout time tomorrow!

    Adjusted air in and air out.
    400+ timeslips.

    When in doubt, GAS IT! This will either fix the problem, or end the suspense.

    Kathy, we're just back from Gettysburg and the snow/sleet (sneet) started about 8. They're telling us it's gonna be a few inches.

    Yeh, then followed by 14" of partly cloudy!

    Here's mom & the kids at our feeder.

    Paul, where are you staying in Staunton? That's where my folks (well my Mom now) live. I was just up there a few weeks back.

    Just dodged the worst of it. But not by much. Temp stayed right at 32 so the roads stayed ok. I still left the MM and took dads truck to work. Its trying to snow but just flurries.
