Okay, I live in GA for a reason, it's supposed to be warm. Isn't that the beautiful thing about the South? I'm so confused. What happened to global warming? How is it that the Earth is supposedly heating up, yet we've had snow TWICE in the past month. And not our normal Southern snow, like epic snow (for us anyway).
This is just weird.
I mean, I love it. I get to miss my first day of school :)
But the roads are bad, and southerners freak out when there's even talk of snow or ice. So of course people are doing dumb things and going to be getting their selves hurt, along with hurting those public servicemen and women out there helping them. It's really frustrating. I'm praying for the safety of everyone tonight, but especially those who are out in this weather keeping the public safe.
It's not all their faults of course. This state is not properly equipped to deal with snow/ice/etc on the roads. You would think after the Spring Break fiasco last year, they would have prepared somewhat for the same sort of occurrence this year. Southerners can be so naive sometimes.
I am so glad that I came home tonight. I contemplated staying in Athens for the day, but chose to hang out with my parents. Obviously, a great decision. I hate that my little sister was unable to make it home, and I hope she'll remain safe in the mountains. I worry about the effects of this weather on the already unstable climate that occurs in mountainous areas.
But either way, I'm sitting in front of a fire place, looking at the snow outside the window. It's so much warmer here than in my apartment. :)
