A Year Ago ... Snow!

Do you miss the January 2011 snowstorm? Check out our slideshow of last year's wintry weather. Then take our poll and let us know how you feel about the frozen stuff.

 

 

A year ago today, metro Atlantans were battling a bear of a snowstorm.

The storm dumped a half a foot or more of snow on the ground, closing schools for a week, disrupting some government services and leaving many of us in hibernation until the frozen stuff finally thawed.

We may have temps in the 60s this week, but Patch wanted to share some cool images from last year's storm, shot by our editors, correspondents and readers.

Enjoy.

What a difference from last year to this year... Warmer and well this fog we have been experiencing has been eerie!

I know, very odd. But, I'll take the warmer weather over the cold and snowy any day!

It was fun in the beginning, but when I started making homemade potato chips, I knew the good times were over. We needed to -- but couldn't -- get to the grocery store! It was like going on vacation when we were finally able to leave the house.

If it's going to be cold, I want snow! Send me a note and I'll pick uop your groceries! I learned to drive in the stuff at an early age. Unless it's pure ice (or compacted snow), no worries here. Problem in this area is watching out for the other guy who doesn't know how to drive in the stuff.
