Late Delivery


Athens, Georgia

The Sunday New York Times showed up today. Understandable, I suppose, but I do remember delivering the Middlesex News every day for two winters in Massachusetts. And, of course, covering many snow storms for them when I was a staff photojournalist for them years later.

Clean Up


Athens, Georgia

We ended up with about a half inch of ice on horizontal surfaces, but nothing that really stuck to the trees. No damage, power only flickered once Sunday night. Campus closed for the day and will delay opening on Tuesday, too.

Our area dodged a bullet.

First Wave


Athens, Georgia

We had a little sleet, then a little freezing rain overnight. A lull midday and then expected to pick up again into the evening. As of noon, power is still on. I’m making jokes about when we get to gorge on storm snacks.

Home Prep


Athens, Georgia

The storm is set to start this evening. We’ve done as much prep as we can – devices are charged, we have power adapters for the tools, a solar generator, cars are away from tree branches. We will spend most of our time on the first floor, so I hung towels across second floor windows to keep some heat in.
