So the snow finally caught up to us! The weather man said it would snow... we didn't believe it. We debated everyone that said it would... we couldn't fathom it. My dad said "everyone is at Kroger getting milk and bread" --- For What?!
We had a trip planned all week to visit with Andrew's cousin and his family and nothing could deter us. We have snow tires on our 4x4 truck for pete's sake-- we just left Maryland where we went on about our business in more than a foot of snow for weeks.
Then the snow fell... Big Deal! We packed the truck and left for Savannah.
Everyone in Macon was excited. On our way to the interstate we passed a house and 3 kids had already built this huge snowman... there was only about a half inch of snow on the ground!!! I say, it was pretty amazing what they had done in such a short amount of time.
Ok, so we're traveling down I-16W and I SWEAR I thought we were at warp speed! These huge fluffy snowflakes were falling, millions at a time, and then we realized something we hadn't back at the house... we are in Georgia; these folks do not know how to act when it is snowing.
We saw a snow plow on the opposite side of the interstate plowing. Well, it was plowing nothing because the snow was melting when it hit the asphalt but, the truck was dragging the plow across the road and it was sparking like nothing else! I dont even know if most counties here have salt/sand trucks... I am thinking not.
So, it was a super crazy drive, steady snow the whole way, we couldn't believe it. When we reached Savannah, Andrew's cousin's kids were outside playing in the snow (keep in mind, even though it was falling steady, there is still only enough snow on the ground to cover up the grass). But, again, people were loving it.
It stopped sometime in the middle of the night and was completely melted by morning but, I say I will never forget the night it snowed in Georgia... let's hope it's not a new trend.
