Today, my house is on lockdown. I recently moved to Georgia from Rhode Island to be with my boyfriend. The state is on high alert for an ice storm. I'm stuck inside with my terrified boyfriend, who's calling it "the storm of the century". I used to walk to school in this weather. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, in Tennessee, it stormed like crazy due to Hurricane Harvey. I brought my boyfriend home safely to his parents' house, but it rained harder once we arrived, so I started to wait inside. He's an adult but has a curfew, so they kicked me back out into the storm. FML
Today, is the second time this week that school is delayed because of snow or "extreme ice." It's like we're Texas now, they get 2 inches of snow and the whole state gets shut down, but no, I live in Rhode Island. I gotta go to work. FML
Today, I was at my boyfriend's house. It wasn't until the huge fight which ended with us breaking up did I realize that I was snowed in with him. One day down, two to go. FML
Today, the massive snowstorm that has been mercilessly attacking my city for the past week started causing random, brief blackouts every 2-5 minutes. I'm very sick, so the last thing I need is for this house to be cold. FML
Today, I heard that there was supposed to be a huge blizzard heading our way, so I went out to stock up on groceries. After spending $600 on food, I drove home and packed most of it into the fridge and freezer just in time for our power to go out. FML
Today, we had an ice storm. My fiancée went out to look at the damage and yelled at me when I warned her to be safe. As she was walking around, she almost got nailed by a falling branch. Now she's mad at me. I don't know why either. FML
Today, I was walking home from school and my stupid brother who comes earlier then me locked the storm door. I ended up trying every other door for 3 hours in below freezing temperature. I was numb everywhere. I rang the bell and my brother opened it. He was home the whole time. FML
Today, I packed up to get ready to move to my boyfriend’s. I just graduated high school and I don’t get along with his mom, but I have no other choice of living. I was supposed to move in with his family tomorrow but now his mom won’t let me. It was last minute, and I’m basically homeless. FML
Today, my ex-boyfriend, who lived in Tennessee, moved to Georgia to be with his long-distance girlfriend. I live in Georgia too, and last year he broke up with me after two years together because he “didn’t see a future in Georgia” to be with me. FML
Today, with 24 inches of snow on the ground, it is raining like hell. The weight of the snow, now full of rain water, collapsed the roof over my living room. I was eating cereal in my underwear, in the living room, directly under the failure. I'm cold. FML

That sucks for all of us from the north but to be fair, they are not used to any type of snow or ice

It IS the storm of the century. They don't have plows, salt trucks, or even snow tires on anybody's cars. Even the tow trucks aren't equipped to deal with it. Walking around in that kind of weather is one thing, but when nobody is even remotely prepared for it, driving a car is something else again.

I live in Georgia, and though I think everybody is overreacting, I would like to say we don't have the proper equipment to get the ice off the road. Nor are we used to it, we rarely ever have snow

This weekend when you are wearing shorts you won't feel so bad about this. Or, move back to Rhode Island.

I agree I'm in South Dakota this is winter everyday life and they shut the damn state down but it's because they don't even have Salters like us and don't prepare for that weather And people are not taught how to drive in that weather it's annoying

We just don't have the equipment to deal with this kind of weather. It wouldn't be bad if the snow we get is the same as what people up north get. Where theirs is powdery, ours is more like hail. And it melts and refreezes enough that everything is just ice. It's not too hard to drive in but no one was prepared for it to be like this twice. Give us 105 degree weather or hurricanes and tornados and we can tell you exactly what to do. Snow? That's for y'all up north to deal with.

The snow we get is not just all powdery. We do get weather that will snow and rain in one day then freeze over. Believe it or not, the north does get ice. And I drive over it with my non-snow tires without snow chains.
