The Evolution of Atlas: A Breeding (and Chat) Thread

If winters like this continue, I'll have to buy something new. I have no decent coats; all mine are 40 years old. I have sweaters and jackets and canvas sherpa-lined vests, but no coats I feel are truly warm....except my husband's arctic parkas from his Air Force career. They are huge and very heavy, though. swallow me whole. This is our upcoming weather. Snow on Saturday. The screenshot cut it off, but today's high is 40, tomorrow 46 and some rain, then snow and 20-something Saturday and this mess below. If we get the three inches they predict for us, it will be more than we've had in years. I hate snow. Makes the worst mess afterward. I know this sounds like nothing to you folks over there on that side of the north country, but been there, done that, never going back. That said, you'll never see me in Florida. I'd roast.

LL Bean is my go-to for serious outerwear. Especially when I can catch a sale, oof.

We are supposed to warm into the 20's by the weekend. I can't wait. It's going to feel so warm.

It sure can by comparison!

I hope it does. It was -14 this morning, and right now still at our high of 3°. Ridiculous.

The forecast keeps changing. I think they go back and forth until the moment arrives, then one of the weather folks go outside and run to their desk to change the forecast. It's almost like they should do a "the forecast was supposed to be this, but in reality, it did this" instead of the guessing that never hits quite right.

Heavy snow expected. Total snow accumulations between 4 and 6 inches with locally higher amounts possible. Winds gusting as high as 35 mph.
Dangerously cold wind chills ranging from as cold as 15 degrees below in the north Georgia mountains to the single digits above zero in central Georgia

This means that it will either be a dusting or 7" here at my house.
