Hope you guys stay warm the Knoxville area is supposedly getting 5"-7" hopefully the ice will stay down there with y'all though... sending thoughts of 90 in July and a beach somewhere in the Bahamas down there ;D

I live 30min west of augusta and it's pretty bad here, no power since 8am this morning, trees breaking left and right falling in the road, power lines and poles laying in roads and people's yard. Lots of people with no power and blocked in. I've seen two house with trees laying on the roof. I've heard from people who have loved ones working for the power company, not to look for power until late Thursday or sometime Friday. Conditions are to dangerous to be working on power lines so most employees have been sent home. It's bad here. I've got a grandma who has lived here all her life and she said this is about as bad as she has ever seen here :(

Getting plenty of snow here but everything is fine for the time being. Just hope I can make it home from work in the mornin. Prayers for all those that are having to deal with the bad side of mother nature.

Foe those in the atl area and up, y'all think it will be drive able up that way later tomorrow evening?  We are about 2.5-3 hrs south of Atlanta and planning to head out about 1 to Nashville and are concerned about travels

As long as you stay in the right two travel lanes of 75 and 285, if you take that route, you should be good. The news is showing improving conditions on the interstates but the surface streets are still bad. Take it slow and you will be ok. It may take you 4 hours instead of 2 to get from ATL to Chatt but coming home won't be an issue.

No ice here, but we do have 16" of new snow. Just finished shoveling the driveway out. I would rather have the snow than ice. Ice is bad news, good luck to all and be safe.

I need a blade for my 4 wheeler.

Thanks for the offer.  I am about 23 miles east of Atlanta, and as I type this the sleet is coming down.  I stocked up with most everything I need, and I am just enjoying an unexpected day off. I have the caped out head from last season's buck in my freezer.  I decided not to mount him and just do a antler mount.  So I think today might be a good day saw the rack and boil the hair off the skull plate.   I hope all of my fellow Georgians stay safe through this.

Elk,
Where you stays? I'm guessing Lithonia-Conyers area?

I live in Conyers

Well we have about 20" down now and calling for another 4"-6" here tonight. Some sleet mixed in. Your storm definitely came up the coast.

That's where I grew up and it has definitely changed since then. I've since moved further east and settled in Social Circle. I'm grateful the majority of the snow and ice we received is about gone, especially from they roads.

turkey season couldn't feel further away.. 17" yesterday on top of the 8 we had with 5 more on the way.

Great for snowboarding though so I guess I can keep busy with one hpbby waiting for the next to get here
