From what I can tell, every weather person out in the metro is currently in full bet-hedging mode regarding the possibility of Atlanta snowfall and accumulation tomorrow afternoon into the evening.
So instead of planning your day around statements like “ACCUMULATIONS OF SNOW ARE POSSIBLE“, why not just listen to a random poll of anonymous neighbors?

THUNDERSNOW! THUNDERSNOW! THUNDERSNOW! (repeated with enthusiasm ala ‘toga’ in Animal House)
GOOOOOOO THUNDERSNOW!
And go away any Yankees (meaning anyone not blessed to be born in the South) who make fun of us for shutting down over an inch of snow. There is a REASON you moved away from 6 months of winter and 5 months of slush.
this might be a bit controversial but
The REASON we moved is not because of the weather, but because you lost your war between the states and have been sent to continue taking over your land and other natural resources so that you never try to secede again…
“we” have been sent
If carpet bagging is your intention, you’re in the wrong Georgia town that starts with a ‘D.’ Try Dalton.
You mean the THE WAR OF NORTHERN AGGRESSION, carpetbagger?
I believe the war you are referring to is officially called, The War of Northern Aggression.
Gibbets is my doppleganger
I apologize Nellie, I did not scroll down far enough before unleashing the Belle of all euphemisms. Good on ya.
I like how Still Another Eric referred to it as “Your” war between the states.

Hopefully thundersnow will run the grackles off.
Hey, there’s Decatur’s motto!
Decatur: Land of Thundersnow, Grackles and Opinions.
Tomorrow’s my birthday, so it better snow. Do you hear that, clouds above? I demand that you produce snow so I can enjoy a white birthday for once in my life!
Well, Sushi, looks like you got your wish. Happy Birthday!!
Quick, to the Kroger to get milk & bread & suitcases of Natty Lite!!!!
I wasn’t aware that persons of legal drinking age drank Natural light. I haven’t drank that since I was 19.
Believe you me, neither have I, but I’m betting that the type of people who rush to the grocery at the first mention of snow and clear out all the milk and bread are probably Natty Lite drinkers too.
I’m all set:
— Raisins and spice oatmeal
— Leftover Halloween candy
— Tassimo T-Discs
Let it snow!!!
Do you need some BB&B coupons to replenish the Tassimo?
NB – Thanks for the offer, but I am a committed Target shopper…
LOL! So, let me get this straight: you’ll be housebound, tanked up on sugar & caffeine, as well as gut-bombing fiber?!?
Can’t think of any better way to spend a snow day myself…
I’ll do the same with my kids. That oughta keep us all busy.
Hmm. Might wanna hedge your bets & lay in a supply of adult diapers, then– just in case.
[checks fridge]
+ 4 Amstel lights!
Just got the kids back to school! No snow!!!
Actually, I like it for about 5 minutes & then it is too cold for me!
BROKEN HVAC (HEAT PUMP? – NO IDEA). WHO DO I CALL??????????
Sorry, didn’t mean to yell. I’m a bit panicked, because my house is very cold.
Update: I saw the Empire Heating and Air ad at the top of the Decatur Metro page and called them.
And kudos to DM…he sent me an email offering to help get someone from Empire to help me out. Once again, DM, you have proved yourself an invaluable resource to your fellow Decaturites!
I’m looking at an ad at the top of the page. . . . .
That said. . . .
We use Reliable Heating and Air and have been pretty happy with them.
College Heights parents: We are closed at 5 today!!
It’s been snowing for the past 20 minutes! Let’s see if it will stick.
stick, damn you, stick!
maybe if the 4/5 at Fifth would stick, the snow would too. dag nabbit! detractors ruin everything.
Does it count if I stick it down with Gorilla Glue?
The snow is sticking now. I take it is as sign that the 4/5 will be on Fifth Ave. SNOW DAY!
I love that this 3.5-hour burst of snow in the metro completely caught the meteorologists off guard. It seems like most times they either poo-poo our snow chances and are right, or really overplay the chance of snow and we get little or nothing. This time, they under promised and we got a nice little surprise.
So now there’s a bunch of snow on the roads and temperatures dropping into the teens tonight, likely not getting above freezing tomorrow. Sounds like a recipe for a day off from work to me.
@EmoryNews: Despite snowflakes hitting the Quad, Emory Univ. remains open. Check University’s Weather Info Line: 404-727-1234
Snow Day! Snow Day! Snow Day! Snow Day! Snow Day! Snow Day! Snow Day! Snow Day! Snow Day! Snow Day! Snow Day! Snow Day! Snow Day! Snow Day! Snow Day! Snow Day! Snow Day! Snow Day! Snow Day! Snow Day! Snow Day! Snow Day! Snow Day! Snow Day! Snow Day! Snow Day! Snow Day! Snow Day!
Hey, Decatur businesses, let us know if you are open!
Little Shop is open. For now. It’s pretty tricky out there with the ice, so be careful.
