So let's talk about SNOW. And the fact that even North Carolina, which is considerably Less South than Georgia, still doesn't really know what to do with it. Particularly out in the Eastern part because the ocean usually keeps it a few degrees warmer.
I honestly didn't believe it when I got a call yesterday from David's Bridal about how my "come see what the store is like on a busy day" thing would possibly be canceled on account of weather. This is probably from growing up in Georgia and how every time they would say IT'S GOING TO SNOW it...............didn't. Well, there were a handful of times that it did, BUT NOT MANY! And we're not getting into the Augusta Ice Storm of 04 right now, that's an entirely different wintery monster.
POINT IS, all day yesterday I was looking at the bright sunniness that was the weather and the Just Over Freezing that was the temperature and going "It's not going to happen, it's going to miss us by like, 30 miles again, it's so not going to snow." Then I was over at Matt's and we were watching stuff on Netflix and it was flurrying! Exciting! Watched another episode of...something. (I think it was when we were watching Dead Like Me) and then we looked out again and OMFG THAT IS NOT FLURRIES, THAT'S TOTALLY STICKING! Which was mad because it was 60 degrees on Thursday and the ground should have been way too warm for that. But there were a good couple of inches on the ground.
So we had a little snowball scrimmage and I got snow stuck in my glasses for a bit, but it's all good!
This morning I get up early-early for me and am just WAITING for the call that says WE'RE CLOSED TODAY, LET'S RESCHEDULE and watching the news and seeing them be all stay off the roads unless you have to, etc, hang out with us here on your TVs! So I was seriously expecting that call. I took my cellphone with me into the bathroom so I would hear it if it rang while I showered.
No call.
Eventually it gets close to when I'm meant to be there and my dad and I decide, well, they might be open? So he goes and digs out the car, I get completely ready, and we drive very slowly over there. Only got stuck on piled-up snow once. But like I said, this is still the south. No one was plowing or salting or whathaveyou, you couldn't see the lines on the road, everyone was just crawling along. We get there. THEY'RE OPEN! I go in and talk to them and make them go :O YOU TURNED UP! and in the end, the point was to see a busy day at the store. They'd had a ton of cancellations. So I'm rescheduled for tomorrow and I get to go back to sleep and enjoy the snow.
But it's still funny. And I think I got some accidental mad bonus points for going in IN THE SNOW!!
IN SHORT: SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
