We are finally getting some snow here today, have gotten about 3-4" already, and it is soo pretty... about to get out and go hiking in a bit with the dogs.
So back home in the Great state of Louisiana, they got a half inch of freezing precip....
at least a half dozen communities put out a curfew because of it!
Serously! the Po-Po are going to ARREST anyone out on the streets at night because it got cold?
I am starting to get a bit peeved at my home state for the nannyism and the unconstitutional police state tacticts.
AND at my friends and family who are making the excuse that they are "just trying to keep everyone safe".
we here is a news flash. YOU CANT KEEP EVERYONE SAFE.

LOL... we got 4" of snow here today and let me tell you, I was HAPPY!!!!! Of course, we are prepared here to get that kind of weather, and I haven't really seen any weather here that slows people down. They just get out their four wheelers and snowmobiles if they have to.
I can't imagine the freeways being turned into parking lots, must have been a nightmare!
In all honesty, ice is very difficult to drive on, and unless you have have four-wheel drive, studs or chains, it can be an adventure!
My friend, who I hike with every week, lives on a road that is not maintained by the county, and for the past month, it has been a skating rink, with about 3-4" of ice covering the road. Just taking it slow and not using your brakes seems to work best to get down to her place. An adventure to be sure, but I love it!
Anyone from the ATL, Georgia or Alabama area where they had this paralyzing ice and 2-inch snowfall? I've seen a few video clips on FB of cars just piled up all over the road.
The story of the Chick-fil-a owner who made several hundred sandwiches to feed the stranded motorists was awesome!
They not only made several hundred sandwiches that day, but opened the building for people to sleep there during the night, and the next morning served breakfast free of charge!

Yes, some pretty amazing stories coming out of this storm! I also read of a brain surgeon who walked 8 miles from one hospital to another to perform brain surgery on a man needing emergency surgery, who would have died without the surgery. He was the only surgeon in the county that could do the surgery. Now that is dedication to your job!
They say it was real, but I am thinking it was photoshopped.
