Southern Snow

Yesterday the Sotheast received a huge surprise and received a MASSIVE snowfall. There was at least half a foot of snow dumped on Athens...a city withour snow plows, salt trucks, or a stockpile of road ash. Plus, few people have much experience driving in the snow. Thus, the entire city shut down. (No school today!) After almost an hour of trying to dig out of Devin's apartment yesterday afternoon (a tree was weighed down blocking the path) and digging out Devin's car, we couldn't even back out of the parking space. We were stuck until the sun came up this morning and started melting the snow. Dropping Devin off at work, we saw trees covering several lanes of traffic, more than half of all the traffic lights out, and cars literally just abandoned wherever they stopped moving. It was quite an interesting sight!

The snow was just POURING out of the sky.

Of course, my Southern fiance had much more fun with the snow than me - I left the North to escape it!

It was fun playing in it for a little while, though!

And, we did a few good deeds by working with some of Devin's neighbors to knock the snow out of the trees and prevent the ones near him from snapping at least.

All in all, it was definitely a fun adventure!
