Atlanta Snow Jam 2011
« on: January 10, 2011, 01:05:19 PM »
For those who hadn't heard, Atlanta has shut down because of the snow.

Now don't go making fun of us.   We don't get that much and don't need to invest in a lot of snow clearing equipment.  Also, we have more ice than snow.  It fall, it melts and then freezes.  That combined with the very hilly terrain just means we'd rather shut down than help the auto repair business.   So, almost every business  and school is closed.   The kids are having a blast and I'm catching up on various projects INSIDE the house.

So I'm reloading....reloading.....reloading.   Gone through all my 9mm and .38spl bullets.   Starting on .357 mag this afternoon.  Then I'll move to .40S&W.   Can't do .44 or .45s cause I'm short on large primers.  So far I've only loaded about 1000 rounds.  Figure I'll be close to 3000 rounds loaded by the time I go back to work Wednesday.

Here's some pictures.  Guess what the first one is.



Yep, trampoline.

And finally, my easy chairs.   This all fell in only about 4 hours last night.

Come on over Alf!  I have about 12k in large pistol primers on hand.  Oh wait a minute, we got about six inches over night as well!  That makes a foot between us.  Sorry, you'll never make it  ;D

Don't forget to go out and make a little furry snow angel  ;)

I'm feeling your pain Alf...people joke about the south and snow but it's not that funny when people who've never driven in the stuff need to get somewhere in the storm.

Stay home, stay safe and wait it out.  At least you'll have some water in the lakes this year...

We're looking at another foot or more Tuesday/Wednesday here on top of the seven or eight we got the other day.  Just another day in paradise...I'll get to work, one way or another unless they don't bother to open the shop...which is unlikely.

Some guy named Gore is driving the plow here in town...

Then that's probably not sand that he's dumping out the back end.
