Default Snow and Ice in the South

Heading right for Charlotte and going to be a doozy.

No work for days that's for sure. The ice will be a real mess.

This should be interesting!

I 'd show my balcony view of the ocean/ beach in Aruba but that would just be wrong!

Stay safe!

I live about 50 miles NE of Atlanta. Snow started early Tuesday, then turned to freezing rain that night. Today we have had snow turning to heavy sleet, with freezing rain expected tonight.
You're right, a real mess is headed your way.
Be safe and stay home.

I live at the bottom of a huge hill. With little resources for snow and especially ice, that hill has accounted for at least 20 more days vacation over the years.

Ice collecting and is laying over 6" of snow. Going to be nasty for days. If bourbon holds out I'll be OK. Where's amazon with those damn drones!
