Snow Day in Rome Georgia

Last night brought with it a sudden flurry of snow that is still falling as of the writing of this post, it is 2:15 in Rome at this moment. The snow is still falling and roads are becoming more and more useless, My son and step son were out this morning and afternoon helping people to navigate the hill next to our house, They would walk along side the slowly climbing cars and help to hold the vehicles straight as the made the climb up the short hill. It really made me feel proud of them along with some worry. They had went out to play and enjoy the snow and noticed an elderly woman trying to navigate the hill with little or no prgress so they helped her and it began from there, the two of them personally escorted around 30 cars up the hill and onto level ground. I guess when it comes to real need us folks in our community really haven't forgotten how to help one another.
