I'm glad y'all are excited. I'm running out to get some odds and ends since we are due for 6-10 inches tomorrow. If you haven't gotten enough snow, feel free to come here and help with shoveling.

The sun came out already and melted most of it. Oh well, it was pretty while it lasted.
Poop...
It's snowing like a mofo here now, but it doesn't seem to be sticking.
My parents spent the weekend in the Smokies and just about got stuck there. They started home about 9 a.m., and had to go 2 or 3 hours out of the way because the road over the mountain was closed. They just called again to tell me that the mountains just north of here in Blairsville are beautiful--several inches of snow on the trees and ground. I wish it would stick here...we haven't had a good snowfall in years.
But wait there's more.
On the local channels HERE on the Florida Panhandle, we currently are receiving WINTER STORM WARNINGS.
I'm having flashbacks to March 14-15, sixteen years ago, of what has become known as the Winter Storm of 93, The Great Blizzard of 93, the Icing of the Eastern Seaboard, The Perfect Storm.
I had only been out of the Air Force for a few months. I had just completed my Red Cross Disaster Training. I was at the Stowaway Lounge on the 4th Floor of the Carousel Beach Resort. We watched it snow sideways over the beach.
The Sheriff's department notified us that the bridge was closed and we all had to stay at the hotel.
The next morning we woke up to a blanket of white snow on the already white beaches, and at noon, it started snowing AGAIN! As they say, its all good fun till someone gets hurt.
I didn't know how bad it really was till they opened the bridge, I got home, checked my answering machine, and had a message from the Red Cross.
I was to pack a suitcase and hit the road on a 4 hour trip to Steinhatchee.
While we were sleeping through a blizzard, a 4-6 foot wall of water raced across the Gulf of Mexico and hit the Big Bend area, killing 29 people and destroying dozens of homes, like a mini-tsunami. Came at 4 in the morning, with no warning as everyone was sleeping.
I stayed at a Days Inn for 21 days, worked 18 hour days and ate all my meals from the Denny's there at the hotel. We processed forms for relief for the displace families and counseled those that lost family and friends. Its was horrific. And our Governor at the time, in his infinite wisdom, put a news black out on the whole thing because it was Spring Break and he didn't think it would look good.
Anywho, I don't think this coming storm will be as bad of that, but it was a bit unnerving to see WINTER STORM WARNINGS come across the screen this afternoon with talk of Snow again, right in in FLA- Frigid Lower Alabama!
Snow in our backyard
Yet another reason to be down there in SoWal instead up here...
