Snow in the South

[Lt.Del]

We are expecting 12 inches in Richmond tonight.  I hear Alabama got a lot of the white stuff.  Figures, I've been waiting all winter, really for about 5 years for a big storm, and here it is March and we are finally gonna get it.

You guys in Alabama doin all right?

Everything is white here !  About 2" and its slacking up now. This system is moving east so look out.  State police are asking people to stay home.


It's melting














All gone in a matter of hours !!  Now bright sunshiney day.

I live in south west Tn and we got about 5" The county east of here got 10". So mabye you will get all the snow you want.







Son also had alot of fun playing in it this morning. He is three so this is the first snow he has got to play in.

We are supposed to get 10" to 16" tonight through Tuseday morning. Long time frame should be easy to keep up with. Last one we got 18" in about sixteen hours.
 I have a couple friends that live in the south, transplants from up here, they all say most natives loose there mind with two or three inches of snow. So don't fret, it will melt!! LOL
Its cool your boy got to experience snow. Everyone should, it is a magical thing. I still love to just sit and watch it fall in wonderment how mother nature works.

Most people around here go crazy if we get a half inch of snow, they close school, dont go to work and clean out the grocery stores. By the way they act you would think they were gonna be snowed in for weeks.

[69byrd]

Mabye yours will stay around longer than ours. Ours has melted and you cant tell we got any.

[VileZambonie]

I've got about a foot and it's still snowing

[69byrd]

Man I wish we could get a snow like that atleast once in my life.

[DnStClr]

Well it lets the little ones out for a while


But heavy snows can do some damage to our trees. Lost some limbs on this one.
