Southern Snowmageddon

3/02/09 - Posted by Abdullah Saeed under US

I got a dirty look from the old man next to me on Flight 59 from Philly to Ft. Lauderdale by way of Atlanta when I said with a surprised smile, “I didn’t know it snowed in Atlanta!” At first I thought, ‘Abdullah, you idiot, maybe they get snow here all the time and you sound like a moron’. I was glad I had shaved that morning, as I always do before I fly, so I looked like a young, naive kid and not a bearded menace.

As the plane taxied into the terminal, I realized everyone on the plane was as surprised as I was. I looked back over the old man, confused, and said “Burger King sucks, I ate it twice today.” He gave me the same look. I concluded that he was either deaf, or simply not dealing well with the horrible delays and cancellations we had just gone through, and would continue to experience along with everyone flying on that unusual Sunday.

The storm began its course by slamming the Southeast with an unusual amount of snow before moving north and engulfing people who are actually used to this kind of precipitation, which gave a new meaning to ‘White Devil’ to those trying to get to work on the Long Island Expressway. Four people died in auto collisions on highways that withstood gusts up to 30 mph. Traffic jams stood 15 miles long, the sky turned black, and animals ran for the hills. Though it is too early to tell, we at OneRiot are dedicated to keeping you posted on more signs of the apocalypse as they happen.
