I love it here in Georgia but would like to go home to the cape for a few weeks. Maybe in September.


I love it here in NH it is beautiful in the summer but in the winter it is a different story. I should just go live in GA for the winter, bring my business with me. I'll go live at my great aunt and uncle's house, they live along the Flint River. I am always used to warm weather, I cant stand snow and cold weather, even though I make some coin through the winter snowblowing, plowing, sanding, etc.

Yeah that is what my great uncle told me. In Atlanta I think in January/February there was 2 inches of snow and everyone was sliding off the road the shut down the highway and people were stranded. The Salvation Army, Us Army, National Guard, the whole nine yards was there helping people out. Hope this winter won't be so cold as last winter.

LOL! 2 inches? We get sometimes a foot! I drive thru that with a 2wd Ranger drifiting all over town. The Army doesn't come out. People just live normal and drive slower.

You have to remember here in Atlanta the roads ice before the snow.
It was a mess I am 2 hours north of Atlanta The news said 1 inch if snow after 5pm
At noon time we had 4 inches and kids stuck at school no busses running we had to go pick then up.
The snow and ice stayed on my road for a week. No plows or sand trucks.
Heck we had fun with the mud mowers.

In Atlanta they put gravel on the road. Why I do not know.

I grew up driving in a couple feet if snow but down here it's ice.

They just put gravel.

My lawyer was speaker of the house for ga at one time. I work for his dad for years dredging sand. Could never get them to use are sand instead of gravel.

Think about what happens when you put gravel on a iced over road.
Then you have to pay a company to remove all the gravel in the spring.
Buddy said it's all about kick backs.

Ahh I did not think of that!
Gravel on the road... What a mess in spring with all the dust and rocks flying around. Sand or dust (screening) is the best for ice.

I agree but all the sand is left on the road in the spring and the street cleaner will have to clear it.....
