Yay! Snow! :dummy:

Rare treat for me! You don't get snow very often in Alabama. It's wet and sticky too. Might go play in it later!

About time all this rain turned into something nice. I don't think we've had more than two dry days this year. It's been raining every day, if not all day long. My chunk of the state is under a flood warning. And yet the weatherman complains we are behind in our rain for the year already. What? We gotta swim to work before this chowderhead is happy?

The only bad thing is tonight is grocery shopping night. Milk and bread is on the list. There probably won't be any because every time it snows, everybody runs around in little frantic circles because the sky is falling and they buy out all the milk and bread. WHY, I don't know. It'd make more sense to buy out all the canned goods. Sure ya can stick milk in the snow to keep it cold if your power goes out, like it did in the blizzard of '93, but that's not very likely. Unless some idiot crashes into a power pole because they've never seen ice that wasn't in their drink before and decides to stomp the gas or brakes. Or another idiot cuts firewood, but instead of picking one of the hundreds of trees in the woods, he picks the tree next to the power lines. Why can't the power ever go out for normal reasons? Like branches heavy from ice snapping the lines or the lines snapping themselves heavy from ice?

There's plenty of snow at my place, at the moment. There always is, every winter. However, people react pretty much the same way. If there's one thing you can be sure of, it's that when people see ONE snowflake there will be traffic jams all over the place.

Haha, that makes me feel a bit better knowing Chicken Little Syndrome is a bit more universal. I'm glad people don't react like that to rain or cloudy days!

We've had snow flurries off and on all day here too. Both my kids were so happy. They're were hoping it would stick and school would be canceled. :facepalm:

I would have to completely agree with you about the two idiots, one with a car and the one chopping wood. Seems like there's at least one of each in this area, lol!

I remember the bad snow storm we had a few years ago here. It got bad and there were only a couple of accidents, but alot of down power lines due to ice. :(

Heheh, I don't blame them. Who wants to be stuck indoors when you can romp in the snow? :D

I think I might remember that one... Driving during that weather was not pleasant. Some would barely top 10mph, others wouldn't drop below 60mph. Scary stuff.

That's very true! :D

I just hope all this that's happening now doesn't get that bad!

Aye. It's melting pretty quick. Maybe tomorrow will be the worst it'll get with the temperature dropping to the 20's and possibly making outside icky and slick. That'll hopefully clear up by noon when the sun takes care of business.
