OK, now this is big for Alabama... We're getting snow! Well, Flurries anyway. I thought someone was flicking cigarette ash at me this morning when I stepped out of my car, but then I realized that I had seen this white form of precipitation once... a long time ago in a land called Ohio. There was more of it there, but still felt somewhat the same.
It did indeed drop 30+ degrees overnight, and its still falling. We might be in for a good old southern ice storm by the weekend.

Well, I never did get the truck started. About all I can do now is wait. I didn't get to work today. I called in and said, I'll be trying to get this dastardly thing flamed, but it doesn't look good. I can't even get it into the garage to get some heat under it. That'll have to wait until this evening when my brother comes by.
Oh, and it's about five degrees colder in every respect today.

It's a beautiful sunny 50 degree's with a 30 mph wind here. When you look out it looks like it's warm but when you step outside into it, ooooo! But I'm lucky as we have sunshine today and it's beautiful.
Sorry about all the ice, Mary. We're only about an hour and a half away from each other and got lots of snow. But, yesterday it got warm here too! Up to like 35-40degrees! Which caused things to begin to melt quickly. Not to mention the amount of fog that was produced because of the evaporation. It was a reall ywindy and eerie night. Today it is snowing a bit, but I can see some blue skys to the west! So, Mary it looks like it is getting better your way...
Cheers
We have had snow on and off all day. It is strange to see steady snow falling while the sun is shining and the sky is blue.
I saw that you got about 6 inches of snow. Lucky. I want snow...A TON of snow.

Well, just had a revelation. Disregard that previous post, just went outside and it is really hot out there. I forgot the A/C is turned down real low in my office.
we have had seven to eight inches of snow in the last 48 hours, depending on what local weather hack you believe. wind out of the north east at 15mph. I do enjoy doing donuts in my truck.

You want snow? Come shovel my driveway & then see if you still want it.

May the Irish hills caress you. May her lakes and rivers bless you. May the luck of the Irish enfold you. May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
Today we had snow and icy streets and people here are not used to this too much. It took me 1 hour to drive 6 kilometers...accidents...stopping drivers who lost courage...
Found this and had to smile; post it with a twinkle...
