skbl17 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Well, the power is now out at my parents' place in Dunwoody. Not good. 32.4 degrees up there. Still holding on at GT: 33.5 and rain. There's going to be major ice concerns tomorrow; all public schools are closed (well...except for Gwinnett). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikepie Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Well, the power is now out at my parents' place in Dunwoody. Not good. That sucks! Just saw a report that > 100K w/o power in N GA. Once the front moves through the roads are going to flash freeze I would think, not a good situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow dog Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Well, it was inevitable. Now light fez rain here in Greenville, temp has risen to 29.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Just took a walk through the neighborhood and out to the main road. Not a car in sight. It's eerie and peaceful seeing nobody out and about. There's easily an inch of sleet on the roads, and it's coming down heavily right now. 20 F outside. It is cold. But beautiful. The sound is amazing. I love it. Winter weather is where it's at! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLTwx Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Heavy IP here in CLT...just went out to the street and it's a skating rink....all this sleet falling is just going to make it worse especially if ZR comes on top of it.
