Now this could prove an interesting storyline for tomorrow. Newly-minted State Senator Jason Carter just tweeted…
The Georgia Consitution requires that Senate convene tomorrow. If there’s no quorum, state patrol might have to pick legislators up.
WSB is now reporting that both City of Decatur and DeKalb County Schools will be closed tomorrow. (Yes, I essentially just repeated the title of the post.)
Plan accordingly ‘rents!
The snow has started to fall in Decatur, which means it’s time to put up the snowday open thread.
Ask about sledding spots, talk about how well your Subaru 4-wheel drive works, or report power outages! It’s all fair game on the DM’s official Snowday Open Thread! Also, send in your pics and I’ll create a gallery for all your snow-bound neighbors to enjoy.
P.S. Yes, that pic is “Christmas snow” and not today’s snowfall.
My wife wondered this out-loud yesterday and I didn’t know the answer. I found it buried in one of the AJC’s many, recent snow-prep posts.
DeKalb County crews will come in at 6 p.m. too, said Burke Brennan, county spokesman, and the county has affixed plow attachments to two trucks . Four of its eight trucks that spread sand and salt will also have equipment needed to cut trees. Once the storm starts, the crews will start working 12-hour shifts, on a 24-hour cycle, until the roads are OK, Brennan said.
So, if you were wondering whether your street will be plowed or sanded during this snow storm, the answer is “probably not.” Hunker down kiddos!
