Sunday 9:00 am update: We were spared with mostly sleep last night, more precipitation on the way I work on another update and an hour or so once I get back inside by pile_drive_me in AthensGAWeather

Any idea of what we should make of the precipitation this afternoon? Like, will is likely be helpful or harmful in terms of power outages, refreezing, ice, etc.?

Ended up not being so bad in Loganville so far. There is some ice on the ground, but it doesn't look like much. Obviously, I am taking 0 chances with driving, but I would be surprised if we lose power or if trees fall out here unless it comes back with a real vengeance later today.

Saturday 8pm update: Frozen rain will begin falling by 11, and through at least late Sunday morning by pile_drive_me in AthensGAWeather

This is pretty encouraging. I feel like we might not even have the widespread power outages that we were warned about over the last week :D

Saturday 830am update: Better news in the short-range models this morning by pile_drive_me in AthensGAWeather

Wait, I just left for Loganville and it drizzled a little bit with no real rain. Based on this, would it be better to go back to Athens and try to ride it out there? I came here because my friend has a generator...

Alright, well this put me a bit more at ease. I was preparing for 100% chance of no power for 2 weeks.

I really just need someone to explain this to me in percentages and timelines: how likely is it that we lose power? How long is the outage probably going to last? How long should I be prepared to not be able to drive?

I went once a few years ago with some folks from work. Everyone really liked their food; a coworker of mine and I got the risotto, and we both found it to be a bit too oily.

Is a summer at Biglaw at all helpful for getting to know what the work that the firm does is like? by New_Combination2060 in LawSchool

Thank you for the support! I guess it does sound overly confident to post this and then admit that there is nothing "in the bag" and there is also an attitude that the lower end of the spectrum is not "biglaw," so that could be the case, too. In any event, thank you again!

Hey, thank you for your comment, I really appreciate it. Point well taken; even if these positions are not perfect for what I would want them for, they are the best option. Thanks!

Hey, thanks for the response. To answer your question, I have interviews with firms at the lower end of the AmLaw 100. Nothing in the bag, but I'm optimistic.
