There's lots of stuff going around. Just in the past couple of weeks.
I hope you feel better soon.

Hmmm... Weather man (several channels) is saying 1-2 inches of snow, north of I-20. More in the mountains.
Could be interesting.

People in Atlanta freak out when it snows. We can't drive. :D

I've never really understood not being able to drive in snow.  1-2 inches shouldn't be an issue.

It depends upon how much practice one gets.  Up north, like in your area they get a lot of practice.  Down here, we might get to practice every 3 or 4 years and then that might last for less than a day.

Snow up north is usually a little different than down here.  I've lived in St. Louis during the winter and I've lived in New England.  Unless the snow was too deep, we could usually drive at or close to the speed limit.  Plows weren't called out until snow accumulated to 2 inches.
 The initial snow covering would blow off the highway as it was light powdery snow.  Down here, it's wet heavy snow.  It packs down and becomes a sheet of ice as cars run over it. 

Then those people from up north or the guys with 4-wheel drive who think they can drive in any snow come flying along at or near the speed limit and begin bouncing off things like a steel ball in a pinball machine.

When we moved South from NY, I remember the locals and snow driving.  Laughable.

Bottom line, I test every snow, every drive when I start.  Each snow is different.  Periodically, I re-evaluate conditions.  Yes, experience helps.  Unfortunately, most new drivers were not taught to drive in the snow.

When the people on the news use the word, "snow", drivers start wrecking.

Snowing good in Chamblee.  Big fluffy flakes.  Sticking to roofs and trees but not roads, yet.

This may sound like a copout but I will not be at the meeting today.  Not that it makes much difference if Im there or not, life goes on.

If you cannot be there, that is understandable.  Your presence at meetings does matter.  Whenever club members are missing, it is noticed.  Meetings are always more enjoyable with more people.  In a club as large as GFC, each person makes a big difference.

Your input and presence are important.
