Atlanta Snowstorm 2011 Winter Weather Open Photo Thread

Our friends and colleagues over at Talking Chop published a thread for posting snow photos, which seemed to me to be a good idea, so I’m blatantly stealing it borrowing it paying it homage by posting a similar thread here. I’ll start:

My daughter, Elizabeth, and me.

Me, with the board on which my son and I just slid down a hill.

While I’m at it, here are a few pictures from our trip to Memphis:

Star-divide

My son, Thomas, sacked out at the hotel.

Thomas at the Liberty Bowl.

Pregame shots.

The halftime show.

Feel free to post your tales and pictures from the neutron bomb the snowstorm in the comments below.

Go ‘Dawgs!

Hothlanta

Here’s a photo I took outside my apartment building: Peachtree Street facing south.

By the way ...

I shamelessly stole “Hothlanta”. From a Tech man. But it was too good not to use.

This thread...

has the potential to be counter-productive at work today ;-)

Ok, I'd love to post a few, however

I’m apparently not computer savvy enough to make it happen. Can someone tell me how to post pics from my computer?

by EricBDawg on Jan 13, 2011 10:18 AM EST reply actions  

Best thing

is to create an account with an image hosting site, like photobucket or imgur and then simply upload. Once you do that, just copy and paste the image code into the little icon that looks like a box with a tree in it and there you are.

If I were to actually try to verbalize this I might still be talking.

How I do it ...

Create an account at a free photo sharing site, like www.photobucket.com if you don’t already have one. You also can do it if you’ve uploaded pics onto Facebook. The point is that the photos need to be up on the Intertubes and not just on your personal computer. Sites like Photobucket give you the codes for sharing the image in a number of different ways. You want “direct link”. Otherwise, you can right-click the photo, select “Properties”, copy the URL for the image, then in your comment, click on the little picture of a tree just below the subject line of your comment, paste the image URL into the space indicated, et voilà.

by NCT on Jan 13, 2011 10:41 AM EST up reply actions  

... and by "otherwise"

I mean once you’ve located the picture on the Internet you want to post. It won’t work while the pic’s still just on your computer.

by NCT on Jan 13, 2011 10:42 AM EST up reply actions  

THIS

made me laugh outloud at my desk at work…..too funny!

I gotta find the pic of my friend taken in the dark & freezing cold just off I-15 and down the road into the desert. We found a 6-7 ft cactus in the freezing windy cold.

6'7" and just standing around in the freezing cold?

Did you start recruiting it? Sounds like a hell of a candidate for nose tackle.

It is, and it is a protected species, or whatever they call plant life.

Despite the fact there are more Joshua trees out here than there are pines in Georgia! They’re the ugliest damn trees I’ve ever seen. Great album, however.

Nah. Toonces is now in Athens serving as our Chief Assistant Drivers License Checker.

You’ll be pleased to know that this offseason our players have been driving more and heavier cars faster than they’ve ever driven before.

Wow. I can’t believe how empty that Liberty Bowl stadium was. :(

by Muckbeast on Jan 13, 2011 1:31 PM EST reply actions  

It wasn't THAT bad

It filled up the student section at Sanford, which is to say that everyone made it to their seats by the midpoint of the first quarter. And I’m pretty sure that at halftime half of the stadium was in line with me at the only concession stand selling funnel cakes…

Having said that, the stadium MIGHT have been 2/3 full. But that worked out okay for me and the Mrs because we didn’t have to fight for elbow room or a place to put our drinks, and no one was being a total jerk because you were sitting in seat 3 instead of seat 4….

The Liberty Bowl

looks like a smaller version of old Tampa Stadium, a.k.a. “The Sombrero.”

That's pretty much

true – some minor modifications but more or less it is.

I think that "big screen" is the same size

I couldn’t have followed the game by watching that thing – definitely not Sanford Stadium. I guess that what happens you have to play your bowl game at a basketball school, though….

Maybe it’s a Facebook thing. Apparently I was mistaken when I wrote that it was possible.

nope

i’ve done it using fb. The key is right click on the photo, choose copy link location, then paste that info here :)

Giving this a try....

Poor UGA took the brunt of the storm, which I found sadly metaphorical for this season….
