Most of my family lives in Northeast Alabama along the Rte 431 stretch...Huntsville, Guntersville, Albertville, Boaz...I was just talking to my mother who lives up on Sand Mountain near Albertville. They were getting snow flurries last night from the same storm that's been whacking us all weekend!

Anyway, I just got in from a marathon 2-hour shoveling session with my two sons. Here are a couple of pics...the photos don't do the snow depth any justice because of poor lighting but just for comparison, my older son (the one with the Patriots cap) is six feet tall and the drift he is standing beside is easily up to his shoulders!

Here's a view from the end of my driveway looking towards my garage...when and if the sun comes out later, I'll take more pics. That should show better the size of the snowdrifts in my yard.

It appears that the heavy snow is over for my area. I'm just glad to be shoveled out and now I can look forward to roast turkey and a full afternoon of football!

Nice pics - and good looking boys as well.

All East Tenn in the lower elevations got was about a half inch in about thirty minutes yesterday. However the mountains to the south are obscured, so they may still be getting flurries.

Good news for the ski resorts, who have had a bad tear so far.

Awesome pics. I have only once in my life seen snow over 10". Back in 1993 we had a freak blizzard in the south (worked it's way up the northeast). We had 20" locally (Mentone area, on the other mountain, Lookout). I will never forget it. Around here Ice storms are worse than snow most of the time. The Sand Mountain regions probable receive about the same amount in March 1993.

It was an heavy wet snow and did not shovel very easily. Looking at your pictures, I notice how white the snow remains even after being moved. Unfortunately snow looks nasty here when shoveled, but it does melt fast.

I still have an old sled my uncle gave me as a child. It hangs in the shed and hopefully one year soon my two boys will have the pleasure of getting to sled. Me and the wife went sledding a few years ago (no kids) and I have to admit, it now hurts to wreck and those little jumps kill the rib cage areas when you land. Time to pass the sled to more vibrant kiddos. LOL...

God Bless you Sam Adams, that was one long driveway, even with a snow blower, Helped to have two strong young lads at your side.

Roast Turkey sounds good. There is a turkey farm on the Holliston, Hopkinton Line, that has great Turkey to either cook yourself or buy ready roasted. They also make great Pies, and muffins.

No Snow here in Georgia, no driveways to dig out of. It is a blessing and it is a curse. Two days ago, I was driving along a major highway in the early morning, at 70 mph, and a deer charged out of no where and hit the side of my car over the back passenger door. His head broke the window, and my car exploded with broken glass and deer hair. Fortunately I was alright, except covered in deer hair and broken glass and the deer was not able to come inside my car. The back door will have to be replaced.

So the moral of this story is Sam Adams, at least you are safe inside your snow covered house with your cars in the garage and roasted Turkey on the table :-)
