Too funny, Martin.
We're looking at snowshowers later tonight in Atlanta as well. And a couple of days of snow are possible next week. I was talking to my wife the night before last, and we agreed - we saw a wild ice storm 4-5 years ago, we got almost 8" of snow on the ground last year, but we have never seen the weather as cold as it is for this number of days consecutively for a decade or more. I can't remember the last day it was over 45ºF, we haven't had a day above freezing in almost two weeks, and the weather hasn't been above 22ºF at night in .... almost the same amount of time.
My wife had to fly to Los Angeles for work yesterday. She called last night to say, "the weather is really nice here, honey! it's in the 70's all week!"
Ugh. "thanks, babe! really wanted to hear that as the dog and i come back from our walks with icicles hanging off our faces!" ;)
