At the end of January, a snowfall of just over 2 inches shut down metropolitan Atlanta’s roads, schools, churches, government offices and businesses. Thousands of flights were cancelled at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. More than 2,000 school children were separated from their parents, and spent the night in buses, police stations, or classrooms. People who didn’t camp out in supermarket aisles and hotel lobbies were trapped in cars for 10, 16, 20 hours as they tried to make commutes that normally take just 30 minutes. Thank the good Lord above we were home, safe, with plenty of food in the fridge as it seemed the entire state would be shut down for weeks! We made the best of our time together and enjoyed play time in the snow and warm afternoons by the fire.
