Looks Like I'll Have My First Ice Storm Tomorrow

Got about 10 inches of snow here. Time to start shoveling the driveway!

My brother left work at 4:30 and didn't very far before he just gave up abandoned his car and walked to his ex-girlfriend's place (a walk that took 3 hours). I'd consider him on the of the lucky ones who were trapped. He got to her place at 10pm. I know people that were stuck for over 17 hours and some who still haven't made it home. This was just a huge fail.

I'm almost in your boat: -6 F with a -30 wind-factor when I walked home from work, and that was only around 6:30pm.

That's right: I walk places.

I don't think Birmingham and Atlanta were forecasted to get the snow they did and it caught the people off-guard. I was hoping we'd get that type of snow down here, but seeing what happened up there, can't help but to think how bad it might be here. As it is, the roads are still frozen here and we may barely get to or above the freezing mark. We'll drop below 20 tonight, so the ice will stay around a bit longer. Can't say I've ever seen this before in the Mobile area.
