We had that light powdery snow, identical to the kind you find at ski resorts. School was released early on Thursday and shut down on Friday. There's a rumor floating around that our Superintendent did it to make an excuse for a Furlough Day.

We had to sled down our steep driveway to get any momentum, but it was great. Everywhere else, the thin snow didn't give us speed.

The snow was a nice even blanket, though it wasn't thick at all. You could scrape your shoe on the ground and BOOM, there's the grass.

On Saturday, it began to melt. We managed to escape our driveway on that day. This morning, my mother had to floor it with her car in second gear to exit that steep driveway. The two-lane road to our church was black glass on the edges and had streaks of snow in the middle, but our modern cars handle it pretty easily.

It snowed on Thursday late afternoon and all night long. It stopped at about eleven o'clock. I estimate that we got two or three inches, which is all the county needs to shut down school. Here in northern Georgia, we don't get snow much, and because of that, our small snowplow fleet can not keep up when it sticks. School closes about every time it snows.

The temperature hasn't gone over freezing in days, and the wind is blowing a bit.
