Title: Ready for the snow?
Post by: BigMike on January 05, 2017, 10:08:11 AM: Do you think it will amount to anything or be a bust?

Who will be out in their Jeep if we get something decent?

Post by: longarmwj on January 05, 2017, 10:10:55 AM: I'm 50/50 on it. Most of the weather predictions are agreeing that we will see some form of accumulation between 1-3 inches, but I saw a couple that said up to 5 inches. Not sure if we will get that much but it would be nice!

We will be out if there is any accumulation. I think my wife and kids will load up in the LJ and head to higher ground to try and find enough to make for a fun morning of sledding.

Post by: clark123456 on January 05, 2017, 10:32:39 AM: Finally, my jeep is drive-able when the crappy weather shows up!

I'd only stay near my house, if I get out at all.

I know what you mean. I'm really hoping to we get some accumulation. It seems the last 2 years the snow we had was during the week and I have had to work. My wife's work cancels but mine never does. I'm looking forward to playing in it with my girl.

Post by: ATLSRT8 on January 05, 2017, 03:15:01 PM: We are heading up to Rabun tomorrow afternoon. Calling for 3-5 inches. We did the same thing last year and we were the first ones on trey and Charlie's. I know it's not a hardcore trail, but it was fun being the the first ones on the mountain with fresh snow
