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

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
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

You didn't have to move down to Georgia... You deserved it.

I acknowledge that the south doesn't have the equipment or experience to deal with this weather, and I completely respect it. A few things for the commenters though. First, I live in Chicago, and I have never seen snow chains in my life. No one I know has snow chains, or snow tires either (though, I have heard of snow tires at least). Also, we don't all have 4WD cars. I know plenty of people who drive RWD without chains or winter tires and drive just fine. So basically, please don't assume we have a bunch of fancy winter equipment. :)

I live in Georgia too. I moved from NH and the "snow storm" was absolutely nothing to be worried about

And there is nothing funnier to a Southerner than watching all the tough Northerners on here react to a hurricane! I vividly remember the northeast during Sandy. Seriously, every part of the world has different weather; accept the fact that not everyone is used to it the same.

Our reaction to a hurricane really isn't that different from your reaction to a hurricane. Then again, that's because said hurricanes are reduced to a category one or tropical storms by the time they reach us. :)

You may have walked to school in that weather, but you lived in a town that had plows and stockpiles of sand and salt to make the roads relatively safe. They lack those resources in Georgia...

Smart move getting out of Rhode Island, grew up in the bucket myself. Make a packy run and smack him with a snowball. Wimp.

I'm a Rhode Island native. It's not as bad as you think it is, asshole.

HAHAHA that's great, my brother lives there and our family is from PA and he sent me pictures of the "snowstorm that shut down Georgia" lol meanwhile we were buried under a foot of snow and I still went to school because the roads were promptly cleared
