pnyxprss Report post Posted January 18, 2008 LOL from your Canadian friend. Actually you need to lose the snow we are heading for Florida in 3 weeks to get away from the stuff. Nobody wants to drive through a state where it's snowing but nobody who lives there has snow tires! Not to mention the lack of salt on the roads, scary stuff. I am glad you and your horses are enjoying the snow while it lasts. [ 01-18-2008, 12:18 PM: Message edited by: pnyxprss ] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pnyxprss Report post Posted January 20, 2008 I am glad you have cheered up but bummed that you won't be able to ride on your week off. I have a friend who is in a wheelchair after riding on the ice and having her horse fall over on her. So do be careful. I think your picture is really cute.

Appaloosa1224 Report post Posted January 20, 2008 I don't think I like Atlanta anymore. They got snow and it stuck! It just snowed pretty well for 2 hours and none of it stuck here in Athens. grrrr. and now i'm stuck at home b/c its all freezing on the roads and lord knows us southerners can't drive in such conditions.

FleckenAwesome Report post Posted January 20, 2008 hee hee. he is such a cutie pie!! and yeah... hopefully i'll get to ride monday and tuesday... monday jumping and tuesday dressage lesson, even though it's gonna be COLD!! but.. tomorrow probably not. yeah... we get ICE more than snow... basically it'll rain and snow, then the clouds go away and the temp plummets and we get ice. which... is worse than snow. way worse! and... yep, you can bet the grocery stores were bought out of milk and bread and toilet paper and water today. and people will be driving all of 2 mph tomorrow, which... is probably smart. but yeah... we suck. on the news they had this guy who had just moved from illinois and he was saying how even he won't drive with the ice... and i'm thinking, he's really thinking he won't drive with us crazy loser ga drivers hee hee. oh well. sorry chelsea! hopefully we can both find some fun stuff to do. Though i must say im' BORED!! and that's not a good thing for me... not when i'm used to having tons to do. sure... i suppose i could clean the house, but... that's no fun!! i need to do outside stuff but i'm too wimpy. oh well.... see you monday chelsea?? and thanks everyone for cheering me up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hastflicka Report post Posted January 20, 2008 We were supposed to get snow too... we got a little last time, but during night so we barely saw it and today it completely missed us. I've heard about the snow we'd get tonight for days, but now it's bypassing us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ghenygator09 Report post Posted January 20, 2008 We could have a foot to two feet by Monday am. The lake effect just started but the temperature is dropping so rapidly. The air is too dry...pretty sure it'll stop snowing. If it gets back above 15 degrees though, we could get a lot of snow. Want to come up and visit now?
