As many of you know, we've had a big storm here in Georgia. Not only do we have 6 inches of snow, but we have a layer of ice on top of it. The roads are a disaster....full of ice. Georgia really doesn't have the equipment to take care of snow and ice.
So, I'm listening and watching the news tonight, and an official is talking about how they have the manpower but not the equipment. The Georgia Dept of Transportation (GDOT) official says that they were having workers clear off the streets by hand, with shovels. Oh boy....that's going to take a LONG while...only in the south....
Then the news shows this guy that got out his ice skates and is skating all up and down Peachtree Street (very famous here), since it's just coated with ice. Peachtree is a main street in downtown Atlanta. That did crack me up...as I do have ice skates and seriously though about doing that on my street.
Okay....this takes the cake though. The news show and talk to a woman that is clearing the snow and ice off her sidewalk (remember it's 1/2 foot of snow) with a DUST PAN. Oh my goodness! I can't stop laughing....only in the south would someone use a DUST PAN to try to remove snow. She was literally on her hands and knees scooping the snow with that dustpan.....LMBO. It was going to take her hours to clear off her sidewalk...
