What will be different this week is ice versus snow. Hilly Atlanta is covered with trees. Ice gets heavy, tree limbs break, power lines fall, no electricity --- for days. You have to be ready to live without power for a week. That's the difference from snow events.

So, hunker down, drink beer, stay humble.

While buying bread and milk, my neighbor reported the lady in the grocery line in back of him had industrial sized box of condoms. Storm could last nine months. Always be prepared.
