A Little More Than "One Frosty Morn"
Here in north Alabama we got around 3 inches of snow at my house. Some parts to the north got 4-6" and southern Tennessee got walloped. Yesterday, the Deep South experienced a rare mini-blizzard that gave the Gulf of America Coast a rare snowfall. This is an anomolay, but for people who think temps in the Southland are always mild, it is a balmy 9 degrees Fahrenheit as I wrote this at 6:45 this morning.
.......and not a crumb of bread nor drop of milk could be found.
-27F here this morning. Can't wait to get up to 9F, sometime tomorrow I hope.
ReplyDeleteEastern Middle GA. 3 to 5"
ReplyDeleteBased on the volume of WRONG weather reports, over the last several days.
It is clear the media must have hired ex-Congress people and their fact-checkers as their weathermen.
BTW: Why are we even here? We were told by the great Al Gore, that the Southern USA would be underwater due to Global Warming and the Polar Ice Caps all melted by 2013. Once again proving, if their lips are moving .....
DeleteI'm not sure how they measure snow fall but down here in Mobile there's at least 7 inches on the ground. It snowed from 5am till 8pm. Now the fun starts when it all melts & freezes. And I'm out of beer.
ReplyDeleteDamn, I bet there are a lot of broken water lines and vehicle accidents down there. Pensacola Beach used to be my favorite vacation spot until all the foreign niggers and illegal mexicants took over all the jobs.
ReplyDelete8” in South Louisiana.
ReplyDeleteI was watching weather radar last night as the snow and ice went through the northern end of Florida, like Tallahassee, Panama City and over toward Jacksonville. I don't think it got closer to me than 125 miles north.

ReplyDeleteWe got 7-8 inches here in Cantonment Florida...just north of I-10 in Pensacola.
ReplyDeleteDamn global warming...
It was a balmy -3F at 7:45AM 1500 miles NNE of NO.
ReplyDeleteHow's that glowbull warming treating you folks down south? Looks like you got a rare dose of winter yesterday. La Nina has returned to southern Pacific off the mid S. American Coast, so we'll get more snow and cold in N. America and along the Gulf of America. My siblings on the West Coast of FL were complaining that it was in the mid forties this AM.

Y'all got more snow than we have in southern Minnesota. It was 18 below yesterday though.
ReplyDeletemaxx
It was 37 below in northern, and I think everybody has more snow than us.
DeleteAlGore is suspiciously mute......
ReplyDelete10 below this morn
ReplyDelete-2F as I drove into work this morning. You have a relative heat wave down there Jeffery:)
ReplyDeleteMy Latin American friend and former neighbor in Panama City Florida just sent me two pictures. One of him and and his wife bundled up outside in the snow and one of his usual funny ass self in his speedo and cowboy boots standing next to the snow angel he made. Yes, Speedo and he is older than me. Great guy, great neighbor.
ReplyDeleteSo. grateful. to be living in Fort Myers area - was 46 degrees this morning, and drizzly. Meanwhile my relatives in PA woke up to -4 deg.
ReplyDeleteIt was 7 degrees here in the WNC Mountains at my house.
ReplyDeleteGlobal warming is going to kill us all!

Yah, dat sucks. Long johns, multiple knit caps, insulated carhardt bibs and coats, insulated work gloves/boots are probably not standard fare in Northern Alabama. Just came in from having a dart, and H.T.G. the 18*F felt like , um, like a breath of fresh spring air. Southerly wind today so the greatwhitenorth recedes from northeast indiana. For now.

Nevermind that, how did they come up with the snow skis in Nawlins?
DeleteI'm willing to bet nobody has ever skied on Bourbon Street before.
What, did Trump fix global warming too as has been written?
ReplyDeleteIs there anything that man can’t do?
DeleteSo much for "Global Warming", huh?
ReplyDeleteEight inches and change down here in LA.
ReplyDelete".... balmy 9 degrees Fahrenheit...."
ReplyDeleteBut at least you got snow (even though you really don't need it)
We're that cold, but no snow (north Utah-and we need it)

Here in North Charleston, SC we got 3-4 inches. Would have been deeper, but a lot of it fell as sleet. LOTS of icing. Roads are expected to be very slippery through Thersday, possibly Friday.
ReplyDeleteI'm here i the midwest, and everytime we have a storm they always pump it as the storm of the century, everybody runs to the store and panic buys.
ReplyDeleteI remember a Midwest cold spell while living there. A month solid of overnight lows hovering around -25, with daytime highs at -5 on warmer days. Gal driving me to the airport to catch a flight was wearing a miniskirt. Thought she was a bit crazy, but the view was nice.
DeleteIn early 1988 I was in the Army's Ordnance Officer's Basic Course at the Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville. We were on a field exercise getting ready to camp for the night when we got moved into a (mostly) empty ammunition storage bunker. It ended up snowing 8 inches that night. The next morning the school's NCO's organized a rescue operation and evacuated us using their own FWD pickup trucks! Huntsville was shut down for more than a week. And oddly, that wasn't the scariest thing that happened to us on that exercise!
ReplyDeleteI was at a school at the navy base in Norfolk, VA winter 65-66. It snowed 4" one Sunday night into Monday. Then it warmed up enough to melt the snow then freeze solid. The base was shut down for three days until a road grader from somewhere cleared the snow and ice.
DeleteNemo
3 days??
DeleteI'm surprised they didn't have the whitehats out there clearing the roads.
Oops! I didn't mean to post as anonymous. I'm the one that posted about Redstone Arsenal.
ReplyDeleteI went through Redstone in '83. Great place, good memories...
DeleteI remember that snow. Good story Bill Chunko. Now you have my curiosity up and I would like to hear "the rest of the story" about the scary part.
DeleteFor all y'all who don't realize it, please remember that good ol' Mr. Sun drives the weather, and He's been in a bad mood lately... check out spaceweather.com and other related sites. Science!
ReplyDeleteYeah, we 'missed' it in north Texas, kinda weird, but the Jet Stream plus warm Gulf waters and you get snow! Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteSorry, I shouldn't even comment. I live in Northern Canada (Western division, hopeful for being a 51st state) and I have to chuckle a bit. This is life. Right now you guys are very close to our temperature. we are going through a very are rare warming trend. The Cree Indians call it a Chinook. It means "Snow eater". We are only about 6 degrees off from one another from way up here to way down there. All fun except for the "climate nazis", who have only one explanation.
ReplyDeleteToday it was 41 degrees and raining at my house in Big Lake Alaska. A complete swap of weather should begin immediately.
ReplyDeleteHell froze over then Trump became POTUS.
ReplyDeleteThat's enough to keep me warm.
Admit it, it felt good to call it the Gulf of America.
ReplyDeleteDamn right!
DeleteI think we are being sent a message about what to expect if Canada becomes part of the United States. I like having Canada as a sovereign nation & partner to our north, but wish they would get rid of the leadership and replace them with some who possess common sense.

DeleteThere was snow in all 50 states at one time. Doesn’t happen often.
ReplyDeleteWe got 1 to 2 inches here in southeast Texas, southwest of Houston. Houston got a couple inches more, and Beaumont got a bunch.
