UPS Bracing for Atlanta Winter Storm tomorrow - Feb 12, 2014

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

If you wanna get drunk, drink every time the weathermen say "catastrophic storm". I am sipping on wine with the Mrs and it looks like I'm going to get laid.

Save some energy for that snow shovel!

Hope they are wrong ... if as projected, people could be without electricity for a week or more.

Kinda like the Philadelphia area this past week.

(With more on the way.)

Looks nasty on the radar. Took us a week to get back on track after the one day we closed two weeks ago. Lotta drivers hit 60 hours the week after. We were bringing missed packages back every night. Couple the fact Valentines is on Friday this is gunna be real interesting.

Missed? Around here they tell us sheet as EC for weeks after any snow. They love to use it as an excuse instead of admitting we are understaffed.

They did EC three days afterwards, past that it was missed.

Initially they thought that the storm was going to stay further off the coast but it appears now that it will track more inland. They are expecting 4-8" in our area with higher amounts off to the south and east.

Inch of sleet in my driveway, I'm sitting home today. My supervisor just called me and told me to stay, UPS "would try" to start later today. LOL at that. He was at home still, the company was suggesting that management get hotel rooms near the Hub last night. Interstates are iced up already.

Looking at an inch of ice and 3-4" of snow in top of that, here. We're staying home.

I'm not Miss Cleo but, I got a feeling the company Facebook/Twitter is going to be flooded with angry messages from people who didn't get their Shari's Berries or Pro Flowers on Friday. Annee and Seini will have their hands full. : (

Why cant they just man up and say.....UPS is closed today. We want to keep our employees safe and not be a risk to the public. Safety first??

Kind of looks like the shelves in my package car yesterday. Only had 77 stops and 118 parcels to peddle.

They didnt cut enough routes, eh?

Why is a winter storm warning different in Atlanta than anywhere else?

No businesses are open.

The Governor of our state is giving a briefing ,declared a State of Emergency and requested people stay off the roads due to ice,debris and downed power lines,as well as to stay out of the way of Emergency and Power Vehichles

3 to 5 inches of snow expected here tomorrow followed by an inch or 2 of sleet and freezing rain followed by another couple inches of snow.

Just another winter day here.

Edit: That's on top of last week's 8 inches.

While Atlanta isn't as big of a city as New York, LA, or Chicago, it is a regional transportation hub. With the airport and roads closing down, it makes a big impact that will take a while to recover from. Its hilly around here, not flat like other places.
