I live in middle Georgia and i cant believe it is snowing here now! It is March and snowing. Yeaterday we had tornado warnings here and today snow. Talk about crazy weather. I grew up here and have lived here almost all my life and i only remember it snowing once when i was about 8 years old. Even then it was an icy nasty snow. This is a thick snow that you can make snowballs and snowmen with. My five year old was so excited. He has seen snow before because we lived in New York for about two years. He has been asking me for a while when it was going to snow and i told him that it doesnt really snow in GA. He was so happy when he looked at outside and saw it snowing. I took him out and let him play in it for a while and he got so tired he came inside and is now napping.

By the time it was all over we lost power for a day and a half or so and 6 and a half inches of snow. This is some sort of record for Athens too. Weirdly enough my family is going to Tn. next week on vacation while the kids are out for spring break. We are/were hoping for snow.

Sounds like the same weather system that came through AR. Thursday it was warm and we had thunderstorms. Friday the temp. began to drop and it rained all day. Then Satuday it was misty in the morning and by afternoon was snowing. We only got a light dusting of snow, about 90 miles north of here they had a foot of snow.

I'm in Athens- I know there's got to be at least 2 inches on the ground right now. My kids are so excited- no school tomorrow for sure. I grew up in Tn so this is real nice for me. I have missed snow so much since moving to Ga. It's supposed to snow until later this evening too-
