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

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

And in the north, 50 degrees is T-Shirt weather!

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.

GA is super lame... Welcome btw. Also these rednecks can't predict the weather for shit, I suggest you get out while you can

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

They're such wimps, in minnesota, it got to -50 degrees!

In soviet Russia, we don't hide from storms, storms hide from you!

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.
