***2 inches?!***

[Miss Kitty]

No school tomorrow!!! Hot Dog!!! And here we were struggling to finish the dreaded science project.!! We built a snow man and broke out the Costco snow boogie board I bought 6 years ago and have never used instead. 5 inches here south of the ATL.

...nothing better than a snow day! Enjoy the joy of no plans or schedules!

We also had FuBar and both our boys and Penny Dog for a sleep over last night! What a weekend this has been!

Not at our house. We had no clue last night, since we are often promised a "wintery mix" it's rarely delivered. This all came in with a vengeance and caught us all off guard. I realize this is so funny to all our neighbors to the north, but this is such a lark for us.

Camifunn made pizza with FBB then went home, as bubba with the "ice cream salt", left over from the summer, wasn't working our end of the state.

It was awesome though.

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!

What a small world. Me and my sister were on spring break at the time at Shell Point. Rode out the storm with my grandparents. We spent the next day trying to get the Lincoln out of the neighbors living room. You don't forget things like that.
