North to South

298 miles from the Tennessee line to the Florida line, what a difference that distance makes. Especially when weather is concern. And today the variations were even more dramatic.

The northern third received up to six inches of snow.

The middle third received freezing rain, sleet and rain.

The southern third (and my main interest) started receiving rain, very hard rain, about 8:45 this morning.

On the drive home, the strangest thing was announced on Georgia Public Radio:

Southeast Georgia is under a tornado warning until 1 A.M. tonight.


Tornados? In February???

Well instead of the usual saying ---


If you don’t like the weather in Georgia, wait 24 hours. It will change.

How about?


If you don’t like your weather in Georgia, move 100 miles. It will be different.
