(March 2, 2009) Meteorologist all week had been predicting snow for Atlanta on Sunday. The question was how much. What's amazing is that it was 70 degrees on Saturday. The original forecast called for rain changing to snow, with an insignificant accumulation, then 1-2 inches. The Weather Channel for several hours on Friday changed the forecast to just rain, then changed it back to rain changing to snow with an inch accumulation. The entire Sharp family would attend the Big Apple Circus at Stone Mountain at noon on Sunday, and what had started as rain mixed with sleet that morning changed to rain mixed with snow by the time we reached the circus. During the circus, it changed to all snow, and the winter weather advisory initially issued for Atlanta became a winter storm warning. Of course Kyle was happy because he knew that it probably meant there wouldn't be any school the next day. Driving back from the circus was like driving in a winter wonderland. The roads were okay, as the temperature never dropped below freezing. When we got home, Reagan got to see snow for the first time and Christian was able to build a snowman and make a snow angel, as he had when it snowed last year. Reagan of course would eat the snowman, much to Christian's displeasure! We ended up with about 3 inches of snow, which would melt nearly completely by the end of Monday. for all the pictures.
