11:00am, 19°F and snowing like crazy. Ice on bridges and hills, car
accidents everywhere. Schools closing and businesses letting employees

freezing my ass off in this Global Warming. o_O

Central Alabamastan is all but shut down with parents being told they
should leave their children at school if they can't safely get to the
school to pick them up. The governor had a news conference about the
state of emergency where he has called out some of the National Guard
and the State Emergency Management Agency has activated all its
resources. The ice and snow was forecast to hit the Southern part of the
state so most of the limited snow clearing equipment was sent South
and will take days to make it back to Northern Alabama. We aren't used
to this nonsense and folks from The South don't know how to drive on ice
and snow so the frigging roads are clogged. Birmingham is a mountainous
area with a lot of hills and vehicles can't get up the hills and are
sliding down them. People are being asked to stay off the roads but
there are those idiots who don't get it. I live on top of one of the
mountains in the area and there is no way I would think of pulling out
of the driveway. o_O
