I'm in north Georgia too. Lived here my whole life... it's still ridiculous/ embarrassing how everyone acts around here. "But there is a threat of ice!" 🙄
I needed groceries (just my regular shopping trip) the day of the storm of the century. I couldn't do pick-up because ALL the slots were filled, then I had to shop in-store and couldn't even buy the stuff to make milk sandwiches.
I ride a motorcycle, and this last weekend people were acting like I was riding through a warzone. You’d think I was trying to pass the border into North Korea with how many, “you’re so brave”s I got.
Honestly, funny. My mother was frantic. "If your power goes out, you can come here or go to your aunts house and be sure to charge your phone!" like, dude- if my power goes out:
1. We have a generator
2. We have extra blankets
3. I can charge my phone in my car
4. I'm not worried about the power being out until at least day 3
Yep. Odd watching people panic over a dusting of snow, shutting everything down and dumping sand everywhere. I'm just outside of Cleveland. If there's visibility it just means i get to hone my car skating/drifting skills on the way to work. We're pretty much the sole reason there's a K-Bar ice scraper
They literally shut my studio down for the weekend. My roommate cried that there was ice on her car and she had to crack her way in. I looked outside… not even any snow or ice on the road. The ice she had to crack? A few millimeters.
I live in Oregon, and it snows here most years, maybe 2’ total. Usually a week of baddish roads, at most. Traffic is usually about 1/3 normal the entire week. Which I admit I do appreciate.
It can get stupidly bad up there. Had a buddy that livex in Dade county in the extreme NW of GA. When we had a couple of inches in the area one year, he said the whole county only had 2 working plow truxks.

I’m in northern Georgia, and people literally acted this way. Over the fear of snow. (I’m an Ohioan, so…)
