Just to keep this all in reality....

Winter of 1969/1970 I was stationed at Ft. Benning, GA (which is even
further south than Atlanta).  We had an ice/snow storm that shut the
post down for three days.  We Yanks offered to show them how we dealt
with it up North (I was in an Combat Engineer battalion and we had lots
of equipment) but we were told to just stay in the barracks cause in two
days it would all be gone.

Contrary to what the popular press is having a field day saying,
this isn't totally unheard of in the deep south.  This time will
be the same as all the other times.

I have a friend by Ft. Gordon (Augusta, GA) and she says they are
expecting 70's this weekend.
