Guys, this is Renzatic. I'm just letting you all know I'm okay. We've got 6...no, oh God...7 inches of snow on the ground. Everything has shut down. The whole of Georgia has been plunged into a state of emergency. There isn't any food on the shelves at any of the stores. Nothing there for the lines of hopeful people walking single file through the slightly above ankle high (my God, so deep) waste from the sky.
I can see them from outside my bedroom window. A march of the damned. Their eyes glazed over from lack of milk and bread.
The emergency radio is bleeting out warning after warning in a dread monotone for those able to listen. No cars are on the road. Everything is gone....gone. For the next three days, nothing will ever be the same.
These are End Times, people. Pray for us, we who are lost in a half foot of snow.

You've got the internet and electricity. The hot melty of fanblade-whipped air streaming from your cabinet, USB foot warmers, hot chocolate and marshmallows coating liquid goodness over your tongue.
If you don't have those, eBay that shit now and they'll airdrop you some rations and spare shovels. A snowpocalypse could be a Snowtopia if you and enough people could only just
believe.

Yeah, you're probably from colder climes, and are thus equipped to handle these Winter Hellscape type situations with far more grace and poise than I. But considering I had to shovel snow off a patio for the first time in my life, I ain't exactly taking things too well.

Sheeit, that's awesome. I'd put my thermals on and run out and go make snow angels if I were you. Then run back inside and try not to shiver to death by the fireplace, but yeah, that's begging for some romping around out and back for hot cocoa.
And colder climes? Ha, no. Apart from my city being perched on a plateau off the southern tip of a peninsula, we're only so far from the bleeding equator. There's a reason for my forum handle being what it is. I'd love to have that sight from out my window right now.

So you're where all the snow went. Enjoy your Fimbulvetr.

Goddamn, stay away from the window!
If you accidentally lap your tongue against it, it may get stuck!

Try lining your clothes with crumpled up newspaper, drinking malt liqour and urinating on yourself. From what I understand that system works quite well for the homeless.

Holy shit, dude. Could you put an NSFW warning on those pics? My kids walked into the room when I had one open and we had to give him a sedative to calm him down. THE HORROR.

Wow. Georgia gets snow and all we get is a little sleet and ice-cold wind.
Jerks.
Seriously, though, that's crazy for Georgia. Enjoy it (or enjoy hating it, whatever floats your boat) while it lasts.
