It's not snowing in Vancouver where they are hosting the 2010 Winter Olympics but, here in Barnesville, we are blanketed in the white stuff.

Thank GOD for something better to look at beside the crime pictures and the bad weather elsewhere

Wow, as they say, the proof is in the pudding. The American Flag was let out for the snow storm instead of being taken down and stored properly for inclement weather.

Awesome pic of downtown Barnesville. Would make a nice postcard. However, who forgot to take the flag down? Someone dropped the ball.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the flag can stay out 24/7, in good or bad weather, when we are in a war.

When it is displayed at night it is supposed to be lit.

Nice picture of downtown Barnesville with snow and the soft glow of the street lamps.

Great pictures.
And that's the way I choose to enjoy my snow, via pictures only.

Wonderful pictures Walter. You do an awesome job and I thank you for depicting Barnesville in its beauty.

It is my understanding the flag can fly 24/7 if it is lighted at night, and in incliment weather.

Dont eat any yellow snow.

no mention of inclement weather

Try again...http://www.usflag.org/uscode36.html

U.S. Code Title 36 Chapter 10 Section 174 paragraph (c) titled Inclement Weather reads

"The flag should not be displayed on days when the weather is inclement, except when an all weather flag is displayed."

No idea if the city flies an all weather flag...

If you seriously had that much problem driving on those roads we need to take your license away.

You obviously didn't drive through the 341/36 intersection around 6am, it was almost completely covered in ice and if you had to come to a complete stop on either side of 36, it was difficult to get traction to start moving again. Upson Co. had trucks out spreading salt on Hwy 36 all the way to the Lamar line, I didn't see any of the same activity by Lamar while I was driving my wife to work Sat. morning. The roads weren't terrible but certain spots were icy and potentially dangerous.

Most of the flags would be of a Nylon blend and they are considered all weather flags. Most towns and cities use these because they also happen to be the cheapest to buy and replace.
