Jon B. Posted January 9, 2017 Author Report Posted January 9, 2017 I was visiting and working in Atlanta years ago and there was a 1" overnight snow fall. I left the hotel around 7am, was the only one on the road and only 2 of the 200 people working at the warehouse showed up for work. Not making fun.....but truly a different mind set.......................and equipment to handle the snow. When we received 32" of snow over night.....3 employees were late to work. 1

That picture above would be enough to close school here. Coming here from Chicago...completely different mindset. As a kid in Chicago I think we closed school once under extreme conditions. The mindset was that if ANYONE can get to school, school's open. Here, the mindset is: If EVERYONE can't get to school without being inconvenienced, then NOBODY will go to school. No child left behind, y'know. 1
Poochie Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 I know where they're coming from. We get snow once every 10 years and when we do, it's a nightmare. Even if the roads have ice on them, people drive like they normally do and it looks like a demolition derby. Watch kids on bumper cars and that pretty much sums it up. By the way, the high today is 75. 1
