They're in Atlanta. The whole premise of this episode is a playful jab at how Southerners don't know how to deal with even a little bit of snow. ;-)

Who is Ms. McGuffin? Is she related to Alton or the show's crew members?

@trumbachd1 Actually, it's not originally a writing term, though it is widely used in literature. Alfred Hitchcock originally coined the term, while George Lucas made it famous as a central plot-device through his use of R2D2.

@RedHilariousComments "McGuffin" is a Writing term for a character or item who isn't important in itself but is just there to draw the characters into the situation.

Like the "Unobtainium" in the movie Avatar.

We never learn what it's supposed to DO, It's just there to get the humans onto Pandora.

McGuffin is a bit of a cooking ditz...she also makes AB seem like, 40 feet tall.

a element (usually a character) inserted into a book or screenplay solely for the purpose of carrying the narrative along.
