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

I live in Louisiana. We recently got 1 or 2 inches of snow and a little ice and every school in the state shut down, including universities, and most jobs and there were curfews everywhere. We're not prepared for it because it NEVER happens. we never get snow or ice so we don't have the right precautions ready. Probably the same thing, they just aren't prepared for it.

that's why, if you're not prepared for it, you make sure you don't get stuck out in it! Stay home, or if you go out...watch the weather forecasts for when it will start coming down and give yourself plenty of leeway. Only the people with $%##@$%^ for bosses or jobs that are really necessary (EMT, Nurses, etc.) should be out at all.

I know some of the schools in my area won't close in case some of the kids made their way to school. That way they aren't locked out and freeze. I remember going to school in snow storms and we'd get pizza lunch or something and watch movies... I don't think that counts as class still running.

You should move to San Diego... people die here when it rains.

Even though it is the south, they should be more prepared for things like this.

Why should we buy all that expensive equipment when we will rarely use it? I agree that we should prepare more but we only get snow like this about once every 5 years or so. The cost of the equipment and the upkeep on that equipment isn't worth it to only use it every 5 years or so.

117 - Sounds like "once every 5 years" has become "twice a month." Time for a change?

I hear you, I'm from Georgia, but this is completely freaking underwhelming, we drove around most of the day yesterday, today we stayed in but only because we knew nothing would be open and we're running low on gas

You sound like my parents

It's definitely NOT an overreaction, especially given the disaster from two weeks ago. The snow isn't even expected to begin until later this evening here, but all we've gotten so far today is sleet and freezing rain, which has left nothing but pure ice on the roads. Ice>snow.

This has been the most enlightening FML comment section about where everyone lives and how people in those areas deal with snow...
