Working at home has its perks. I get to stay in my PJs drinking coffee out of my favorite mug until 2 or 3 o'clock in the afternoon. I go running whenever I want and make a great, home cooked meal for lunch. I fold laundry in between emails and have no commute. It's a pretty good gig.
But it has its downside.
Every weather channel in this country is predicting 3-5" of snow in Atlanta tonight. It's a hilly city that does not know how to deal with such precipitation, so there's a certain level of panic in the air. Schools - including Georgia Tech - have already announced that they are closed tomorrow. Keep in mind not a flake has actually fallen from the sky' they just think that lots of them will. So, tomorrow, all of Atlanta will be shut down. Many people will not be heading into the office. But there'll be no snow day for me. I guess it's fair. The rest of the world has to sit in traffic.

For me, the worst part about being in a place that isn't used to winter weather is that when it does happen it is total insanity. People do NOT know how to drive in it at all and the drivers actually make the drive worse than the actual snowfall. lol I'd be happy to stay home, even if it does mean you still have to work. :-)
Yes, I am definitely happy NOT to be driving! The city is just not ready for it: no salt or sand and only a few plows. The streets are super hilly, too, in most neighborhoods. Even if everyone was comfortable driving in snow and ice, it'd be dangerous without the other precautions. We already canceled youth group tonight, and there's talk of schools being closed through tomorrow. Apparently, it's not going to get above freezing until the middle of the day tomorrow, and the nice drizzle is just adding a layer of ice to everything. I am thankful to have a warm apartment!
