    Someone needs to tell whoever runs Georgia Navigator (where all the traffic cams in Atlanta are aggregated) about CDNs.

    How do I watch the chaos if it collapses under the weight of traffic? :(

    We've only gotten an inch of snow here, and public schools are out tomorrow. I just received an e-mail from the university informing me that "WE WILL BE STARTING BACK TOMORROW." Gonna be a coooooold walk in the morning.

    A few inches is a lot for a state that has no logistical or social preparation for it. It's looking like it'll be closer to a foot.

    oh god i love urban dictionary:

    Snow Job:

    When a girl does a line of coke off of your erect dick and then proceeds to give you a blowjob

    As of the last week of April, 2006, "snow job" can refer to the lies, distortions and evasive non-answers given to members of the press at daily White House press briefings. (The new WH Press Secretary is Tony Snow, formerly of FOX News.)

    Snow Job is a character from the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero toyline, comic books and cartoon series of the 1980s. He is the G.I. Joe team's original arctic trooper and debuted in 1983. His real name is, and his rank is that of staff sergeant E-6. Snow Job was born in West Rutland, Vermont.
    Snow Job was a major Olympic Biathlon contender who enlisted for the special training and support privileges that the army gives to Olympic champions. It's been suggested that he got his nickname more from being a con artist than from his primary military specialty on the arctic ski patrol. He is competent with a rifle, and his secondary specialty is as a rifle instructor.

    so... the full gambit

    Flight through Atlanta to Norfolk was canceled. Took a flight to Detroit instead since I was told that if I didn't at least fly out of Dallas today there was no way I would get out tomorrow. 3 whole inches of snow and the entire state flips the fuck out, I swear to christ.

    Now I'm chilling in the Detroit airport wondering if I should try and sleep before my flight early tomorrow morning.

    3 inches of snow can be pretty tough when you're not accustomed or equipped to remove the snowfall, especially when it comes to airport runways.

    With the winter we've had, though, you'd think Atlanta would maybe buy a couple more plows to throw on their maintenance trucks.

    I got a taste of it a couple weeks ago when I was home for Christmas but this sounds like this is twice the storm.

    I was hacking through 8-11 inches of snow and a few inches of packed-ice when my flight got delayed on the 27th. Atlanta's snowfall is pretty impressive for the latitude, it's much more than I expected to see down here but I'm not about to pretend it's anywhere near comparable to being back in New England.

    The only likely situation where my university would close is if the weather brought with it a terrible unleashing of foes lost to us in time.

    I was INSPIRED
    I wasn't disturbed by the lack of friction
    And the absence of heat was haphazardly disguised
    Through car heaters and coats: our meager urbanite supplies
    I was content, save one condition:

    The stillness, never palpable in the city
    (our city, like every other, does not sleep)
    made us forget our rhymes, our clunk a thunk chimes.
    The bah hum rum of the motorized sheep
    Was silenced under white wool coats, so pretty

    and blank, that I began to wonder if I were alive,
    or whether this world was a heavenly disguise.

    Apparently two years ago my boss received a call from the local director of the emergency services in our town indicating that there was a very high chance of an immediate flood taking on 75% of our campus. The director ended with, "So just be on your toes but if my number pops up again be ready to evacuate everyone to your side of the river..."

    We rarely had our University cancelled for weather. One time it was ice-rain and the school thought really hard whether to cancel, given that it was the last Wednesday before finals.

    Oh and when a tornado ripped through Iowa City in 2006 and destroyed apartments and a Sorority house, the school cancelled classes.
