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

Honestly I don't blame him. We've been getting hit nonstop with this bad weather. Jersey has had 3 bad snow storms in 2 weeks and the town's are running out/most are out of rock salt. We haven't had this many snow storms in over 5 years.

Just wait until next week when it's 80 degrees outside. Oh and don't forget the 100+ weather with 100% humidity during the summers.

It may arguably be the ice storm of the decade, since the news reports are saying it will be comparable to the one from 2000, but I'm not sure about the storm of the century. Hang in there OP; things will be back to normal by Friday.

Remember that weather is different in every area of the country OP. I'm from California and the first snow storm we had after we moved to Washington scared the every loving hell out of me. The first hot day of summer we had I was telling my friends to get over it. They were use to cold winters and I was use to blisteringly hot summers. It happens. xD

I'm in Georgia. The thing is, no one can drive on ice. Not without the appropriate number of salt trucks, which we don't have.

Poor poor people who don't know what snow is. I get people in the south don't have much experience in it but consider it like rain and go from there. Or spend a winter in Canada and you'll really be glad thats all you get.

they are just not used to it. give them a mile of mud road and they would be in their glory.

Completely understand. Family just moved from Ohio to Georgia 6 months ago. I used to walk a mile to school in this and people here have cleared out grocery stores and stocked up on gas like the end has arrived.
