It took back-to-back blizzards to paralyze the nation's capital, but in the Deep South it only takes a couple inches of snow.

Flakes were falling — or threatened — Friday from Texas to the Florida Panhandle and then up along the coasts of Georgia and South Carolina, bringing a rare white landscape to spots that haven't seen snow in a decade or longer. The storm was crawling east out of Texas, where it left the Dallas area with more than a foot of snow, nearly 200 traffic accidents, thousands without power and hundreds of canceled flights.

I can't decide if it's being caused by 'gobull warming' or Bush?

Snowing like all hell here in Andalusia Alabama (Near Pensacola FL).

How does one distinguish a rare snowflake from a common one? Didn't we learn in grade school no two snowflakes are alike?

“It’s due to Global Warming” ping..... =.=

Accuweather has Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina and Georgia getting 3-6". People there must be freaking out.

I think I’ve figured it out.
In the summer, it’s called global warming.
In the winter, it’s called global cooling.

It’s Global Climate Change now,
Not Global Warming.

And in unrelated news...

It’s due to global warming, or climate change, or global cooling. Well no matter, the real cause is SUV’s! Ban them all! And all gas powered vehicles. And all air conditioners. And all lawn mowers! And all....

Is that near “One-pelo”.

Gotta love that divine intervention and sense of humor where God is casting his vote on the foolishness of the Obama policies.

Rare? It’s the second time this season that we’ve seen snow down here in La.

Any more, and I’m going to need some tire chains...

All that’s left is getting overrun by the global warming glaciers.
