Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

Is snow common in the winter there?

 

[PUSH]

Predicted up to 6 or 8 inches of snow tomorrow morning through Thursday morning. I'm not even going to comment on the weather beyond that because I've jinxed myself before.

Yes, but not as much as sprinter/swinter.

Made it to the Georgia highpoint yesterday. Got to the summit around 11ish. Since most of you are fed up with snow and winter... I'll post pictures under a spoiler tag. I'll admit, for being so unseasonably frozen, and visibility being much less than stellar, it was still a very lovely day on the mountain.

Spoiler: There Be Snow Ahead. These Be The Last Friendly Words Ye Hear.

After driving up a good portion of the mountain, we arrived in winter, and the parking lot near the summit. That looming peak in the clouds ahead would be the Georgia state highpoint (Elevation: 4,784 ft.)

0.6 mile hike from parking to the summit.

Nearing the summit, the observation tower is seen peeking down at us through the clouds.

Interesting fact: On a clear day, standing on this peak, and using one of these, or a good pair of binoculars, or zoom with a camera... you can see the downtown Atlanta skyline off on the horizon.

But since we were surrounded by a cloud, the only view we were getting of the Georgia horizon was this:

Yet even with visibility being minimal, and wind being strong enough to knock you sideways, the atmosphere of being in a snow cloud was quite remarkable, and I was very glad we visited while it was like this. There will be plenty of clearer days to visit in the future, but this, especially being in mid-April, was pretty darn amazing. I loved it.

Oh, and I did pick-up a souvenir. Do you wanna build a snowman?

I am so jealous!!! Gorgeous with all the snow!! And, you also have a plaque! ( @JenniferS knows how much I like reading plaques!)

If you have to get a new Keurig (and I did), then you might as well go for a splash of colour.

Oh look, it’s my favourite splash of colour.

Might be time to swap out those mugs though.

I also have that exact same Keurig -- in red!! I love it!! (P.S.: I bought red cups to go with it! )

Were you dropped on your head as a child?

I have a black one - ina box- in my basement. I hate it.

Donate it.

No, but one time I fell forward off a sidewalk curb -- while walking . . . did a face plant.

I had a black Keurig too--gave it to my husband once I saw the red one in a store. "Here honey, have a black Keurig."

 

[Nemo14]

Donate it.

It's on my list, along with the breadmaker and sandwich press. Just have to convince a certain man in the house that we'll never use them.

I've done that - and worse.

Auntie is home! Got in just after noon.

Putting a plate of food together for her and taking it over. Mike did up beer can chicken, special for her. (That’s what I’m telling her anyway.)

Love the backsplash (we have the same or similar pattern). That blue is so pretty. And what are the mugs hanging from? Are they hanging from something drilled through the backsplash or a command strip type of hook?

Sorry. We are predicted to get some as well, but maybe an inch. But in weatherman speak that is probably 3 inches.

I’ve not seen any like that down here. I like it!

Plain old c hooks, screwed into the bottom of the cupboards.
