Chilling at Clemson

Yesterday, it was predicted by weather forecast that there would be a 100% chance of snow. The state of Georgia was expecting 2-7 inchs of snow. It hasn’t snowed that much in a long while. I’ve heard that the whole state of Georgia has only two snow plowers. This would mean that most of the roads will be inaccessible whenever there is bad snow. People around my cousin’s area were going crazy. Almost everyone was preparing for the bad weather. According to Home Depot, the newly arrived parcel of deicing salt was sold out in less than 30mins. Schools were closing and many people had already planned on staying home. Some had stock up their food supplies for fear that they might be trapped at home for a couple of days.

I, my brother, and my cousin had to leave for Clemson, which is about two hours drive up north from Suwannee, Georgia. We were all heading back to school. The plan was to spend a night in Clemson before heading back to Greenville. As predicted, it started snowing at around 12 am.

Today, the roads are completely covered in snow. It looks like me and my brother will be spending a whole lot more time in Clemson than we initially planned. On the bright side, our school has allowed students to return at a later time, when the roads are safe to drive on.

There isn’t much to do here. The only thing we could do is to go outside and play with some snow, which is exactly what we did.
