Last night, pretty much everybody north of Macon got some snow. By the looks of it, we got about 6 inches in Cumming. I've heard some clever descriptions so far: Snowmageddon, the Snowpocalypse, Hothlanta, snOMG... they just keep coming. I think my friends to the north would call it "a bit of snow" or perhaps "Monday." Still, to us, it's pretty wild.
Around lunch, I dug out my truck, which I parked at the top of my driveway last night.
I did a little 4WD on Hwy 20.
Racetrack was open...
...which was good because I stocked up on a few supplies, but forgot about gas.
We went for a little walk.
We tried to make a snowman, but it was too powdery and we were unskilled.
Sophie made an angel...
...then she and I walked down to the end of Nuckolls to check out the overlook. Lake Lanier is down there somewhere.
Snow angels equal wet clothes, the wind was pretty harsh right there, and I had to get back to work, so we headed home.
Brrrr!
I think we're going to have this snow for a day or two. Hopefully I can get a snow ride in later. Maybe even this upcoming weekend there will still be snow in the mountains and my bro and I can hike some more of the AT in it.

I wish we had snow only for 2 days :) I have to clean my car from snow and ice practically every morning during winter and sometimes in evening too.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to make a snowman, you should make a little snowball and then roll it around to make snow sticking to you ball and making it bigger and bigger.
Yeah, I bet you get more snow than anybody else I know. We tried rolling a little snowball, but nothing would stick to it. The snow was like beach sand.
ReplyDeleteYes, sometimes it happens. Not every kind of snow and weather conditions are suitable for making a snowman. I wish you the best kind of sticky snow next time :)
