It started to snow today around noon. At 12:30, they let us go from the office. I hit the road at 12:45. And it seemed like so did everyone else in Atlanta. It was gridlock everywhere. It took me over 3 hours to get home. But, I guess I was one of the lucky ones. Some took more than 9 hours to get home. Some didn’t even try. Apparently, all the hotels are full also. On the way home, I picked up my kids from school. Even though they dismissed the kids at 1:45, there were still many there when I picked them up at 4. The buses were all running late and it was 7 by the time the last kids left the high school.
