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.

Snow down south? Well, my mother taught me to share. So all you southerners....here ya go!

I live in the area where MS/TN/AL come together and its just cold...not one drop of precipitation. I depend upon lab results for Federal animal tests from Jackson, Ms and this morning cannot get any results from the lab there because they cannot get to work....Calls to folks down near Jackson say the driving is treacherous...especially from the drivers there that are unaccustomed to the snow.

It is snowing here in Roswell GA and my friend says it was snowing around New Orleanes (he’s probably mad and blanming me for it going away Since as soon as asked it went away )

>> Two below in Tupelo tonight! <<

Only if you’re a Canadian and go for that “Celsius” nonsense!

[mikrofon]

Dunno, but there is a Wapello, IA where I’m sure it gets that cold ;)

Don’t you mean Mauna Kea?

[mikrofon]

LOL... The records do indicate, however, that it has been as cold as -6F in Tupelo.

[FormerACLUmember]

That too.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Has any one figure where the Goracle is right now?

[Kartographer]

I believe that he is presently on safati in Antarctica. ;-)

Ah, the wonderful thought of blue hairs sledding down the overpasses with pup to get to the bingo game in time............

[Darlin']

Hey, those little blue-hairs gotta have some fun, too.

Big flakes of snow here in Biloxi this morning less than a mile from the Gulf of Mexico.

Yeah, when He not only dumps on the politicians, but doesn’t snow on the winter olympics...You just gotta laugh.

Yep I heard that this morning. It is the first time in recorded history that we know there is snow on the ground in all 50 states all at the same time. Cool and I do think G-d has a marvelous sense of humor to disprove AGW in this manner. :)
