Dang it’s icy out there!  I tried to demonstrate that with my pics. Be careful out there folks. 

If you’ve got some pics, send ‘em along to decaturite[at]gmail.com and I’ll add them to the album below.

With the year-after-year success of the “Decatur Beach Party”, on Sunday the city of Decatur surprised its residents with a first annual “Decatur Snow Day”!

I took this pic after making a snow angel in the street...

Shops closed and residents headed for the hills to slip and slide in the slush.

The cost to make it snow over the entire city is still unknown, but some residents wondered if it was the best use of city funds during a recession.   Those people were unceremoniously pelted with snowballs.

Umbrellas in the snow! Now I've seen EVERYTHING!
