I’m not sure we need separate “what’s open?” and “How are the roads?” posts today. Seems like the answer is generally speaking is, “Not much.” and “They are all bad.”.
But here’s a new open thread to swap storm stories, report power outages, and trade info during this lovely weather event.
Also, feel free to send in your photos from the ice storm and I will post them!

CVS was open as of a bit ago.
Thumbs Up has a sign that will open at 9am today and tomorrow.
Starbucks on the square is closed.
Cafe Lily and Fernbank tweeted they are closed today.
Go out and listen to it! The sound is amazing. My dogs were not appreciative, but it’s a lovely sound that you don’t hear every day.
A lovely sound, but also an ominous one.
Sun In My Belly sent an email saying they would be open for brunch today at 9 but closed today for dinner.
Man some of their bacon sounds good right now. And at all other times.
Revolution posted on Facebook last night that they are not planning to open today.
Anyone know where I can score some firewood within walking distance of the square? I have a couple sticks, but I got a sinking feeling I’m gonna need a more significant amount.
Don’t know the answer to your question, but it might help some to turn up your heat as high as you can stand it. If you lose power it will take longer to get cold.
check with baby kroger.
I think I passed a huge pile of firewood mesh bags walking into Baby Kroger two days ago. That’s not why I was there so I wasn’t paying total attention but I’m pretty darn sure.
Baby Kroger was out of firewood yesterday afternoon. So was everyone else.
And open closets, showers that trap cold air.
Or try this. I’m pretty sure it would also work in America!
Well we have the Ikea tea lights– my flowerpots, unfortunately, are covered in ice…
On College in that little strip just west of the East Lake Marta is a small engine repair shop and they have been selling firewood. I got a truckload from them early in the season and they also sell smaller bundles.
According to Georgia Power about 60 customers are without power in Decatur near Scott Blvd
I think that was from yesterday when the Lamont/Vidal folks didn’t have power for a few hours. Luckily, power was restored around 10:30.
And schools are closed tomorrow!
Is MAR open?
The big question on everyone’s mind, will Souper Jenny open on friday or not????
Mini kroger is open.
From MARTA…
MARTA cancels buses due to winter storm
MARTA has canceled bus service for Wednesday. MARTA said it will operate train service on Wednesday, but will run on a holiday schedule.
Rail service was scheduled to begin at 4:35 a.m. Wednesday with trains running approximately every 15 minutes on all lines until about 2 a.m. on Thursday. MARTA is asking rail customers to exercise patience and plan extra time to complete their trips. Depending on conditions, MARTA’s rail schedule is also subject to change.
“Safety will always be our first and foremost priority,” said Keith T. Parker, MARTA’s GM/CEO. “Until weather conditions improve, we’ll continue to provide as much rail service as we possibly can and restore bus and Mobility service as soon as it’s feasible.”
MARTA spokesman Lyle V. Harris said the decision regarding bus service is consistent with the directive issued by Gov. Nathan Deal who has instructed most vehicles to stay off the highways in order to facilitate treatment of road surfaces by salt and sand trucks.
Although MARTA buses will not be operating on their regularly scheduled routes, some will be deployed as “warming stations” to provide comfort and shelter at various locations for motorists, truckers and others.
