Some of you may be familiar with the city of Atlanta. Others may be familiar with the show the Walking Dead. I don't really follow the show that closely, but if I take it way out of scope it predicts that the city of Atlanta will be destroyed by zombies one day. While I personally thought this was a very realistic possibility, it turns out the writers of the show may have been horribly horribly wrong.
It turns out on January 28, 2014, something unbelievable happened. It began to snow in Atlanta. The US National Weather service stepped in to confirm.
This is quite an unusual occurrence this far south as we typically only get occasional snow flurries and what not. Most of the time it just rains during the winter. We thought, oh hey, just a little snow. No big deal right? But not. The situation began to suddenly grow more dire.
Wow. School is being shut down? This must be a real emergency. My mind started racing. Could the Walking Dead writers really be this wrong? I know there is some movie about snowy nazi zombies but as far as I know no civil war corpses had risen from the dead with the start of snow fall. It suddenly dawned on me. A different piece of entertainment was the real prediction of how the world would end for us. The film just portrayed the wrong city.
Dun dun dun!!!! sick movie by the way you should totally watch it
I don't believe I was the only one to come to this conclusion as I looked at my fellow wide eyed students. We decided it was best to high tail it out of there and get back to our dorms. Luckily I heard it might get down to like a ridiculous 20˚F (or about -6.7C) so I bundled up as best as I could before heading out into the tundra for my 9:30 class this morning. I was prepared for this.
The effects of this ravishing snow storm were immediate. As I made the dreaded trek back to my room I took a picture of the once glorious Atlanta skyline. A proud city no more engulfed by the swirling freezing grips of death.
I was almost home free when I encountered the most dangerous natural obstacle. + Show Spoiler +
wow those steps look slippery I would not recommend running up them!
As a side note, in preparation for the looming zombie apocalypse, the city of Atlanta had already set up massive metal barricades outside of residencies. I suppose they can double up and keep out any snow demons that may spawn in the immediate future.
Luckily, I made it all the way back to my dorm in one piece with no frostbite. I looked out my window to observe the desolate, uninhabitable wasteland left behind by the sudden snowfall.
I immediately huddled up in my warm clothes and heated room to log on to TL to let you guys know that I'm ok. I read online that we are expected to get about 2 inches of snow in the next 24 hours (or about 50.8 mm). Hopefully this snowpocalpyse blows over but I am not sure. I'll try to keep you guys updated.
sorry I was thinking m to mm instead of cm to mm lol. it's supposed to be 50.8 200 inches of snow would be pretty fucking fun though
The scarier thing could be that I'm an engineering student that uses metric units all the time anyways and I still did that. good luck everyone if you use anything designed by me.
My roommate and I stayed up late last night because everyone was horrified that an inch of snow would fall out of the sky and school would be canceled. Thank God nothing so dreadful has occurred so far. School life goes on here in North Carolina.
Thats not even driving in snow though lol ah well.
Its OK even here the first snowfall of the year usually causes some major traffic headaches as people seem to forget how to drive in snow over the course of the summer and have to re-learn every winter.
I made sure she didn't see me taking the pictures.

Also it appears that selfie proves shellbot has at least on his face passable human looking skin.
Reminds me what happen in California awhile back. It was 40 degrees outside and people were wearing winter coats because it was so cold. While in Massachusetts with the same temperature and I'm wearing a tshirt and shorts.

apparently the media have been calling it a "once in a generation storm" although I have no fucking clue why because we got like 3 inches just a few years ago. so I guess everyone i just scrambling to get home and sliding on the ice.
