Happy Snowy Sunday All...

Looks like a jazz lineup with a children's show bizarrely played past kid's bedtime...am liking Arch Oboler’s Plays “History of a Mug” and The NBC University Theatre “This Side of Paradise”...

Keeping warm?

[WXRGina]

Chilly greetings, Vision! How’s it going?

[Vision]

Evening Gina, it’s cold and snowy here, winds kicking up, we’ll only get a few inches and it should turn to rain overnight but it’s a terrible time to be on the road. You?

[WXRGina]

It’s cold here, too. No snow, just some rain yesterday ahead of the front.
We’re having two sides of our backyard fence replaced, and the guys were here today setting some posts. It was brutal cold and windy for them. Keith helped them.

[Vision]

Fences make great neighbors.

[WXRGina]

That, they do! :-D

[Viking2002]

Belated evening, folks.

[Vision]

Evening!

[Viking2002]

Getting any snow worth reporting?

[Vision]

As of a hour ago 2-3” with some gusts, now turning to sleet and later rain. It should all be gone by the morning but that will be quite the transformation.

[Viking2002]

The ground here was a little too warm for anything to stick, but we got some impressive snow squalls today. They weren't expecting it to be quite as dynamic as it was. The wind really howled last night and it's still gusty out there this evening, winter weather advisories still up in some counties. Up in Alpine Helen, one of the downtown webcams shows about 3" on the ground and windy. They always put up their holiday lights after Oktoberfest and leave them up until the end of February, just for these nights. Helen is normally pretty any time of year because the garden lights along the roof edges and windows are standard decor, like lighted topiary.

[Vision]

I'm surprised the snow extends that far south.

[Viking2002]

It’s a rarity. One year we were in Cumberland and there was nary a flake. My stepson called Connie and said it snowed an inch here Christmas Day. I told her, if I wanted snow this year, we should have stayed in Alabama. LOL Then we got socked by that severe storm/winter storm one-two a dozen years ago. It was 70 and storming wildly on a Saturday, end of February. Several tornaoes hit the area while I was working a project gig. Tornado damage was something to behold. We were only a couple of miles from where one touched down and didn’t even know it. The cold front that caused it came through the following morning, the temps dropped 40 degrees, and the wraparound dumped 6” of snow on us. Columbus, GA got hit by a storm one year that was over a foot and paralyzed the city. Atlanta sees winter weather a couple times a season so yes, Old Man Winter does occasionally get up enough of a head of steam to make a mess of things this far south. I still want to move back north a bit and enjoy four seasons and the mountains while I still can.

[Vision]

Are you going to move?

[Viking2002]

At this juncture, no. There are a lot of things that will need to be addressed before that happens. But hope springs eternal. I hate Alabama, to be honest.

[WXRGina]

Helen’s Christmas lights are beautiful. :-)

[Viking2002]

That's our weekend go-to on occasion. And there are all these little alleyways to explore, and horse-drawn carriages to get you around. Ha - I just saw an SUV northbound on the main drag, and when he got to Hofer's Bakery (the food there is heavenly) he started bouncing around like he was on the curb. Must have hit some black ice.
