That rare thing for The South which causes complete chaos when it

We got up and there it was yesterday ... right now it's 7°F and my wife
just called in to work because the snow melted and refroze into ice on the
roads . The neighbor almost slid off our dirt road yesterday afternoon down
into the "ravine" . We ain't goin' nowhere until the roads are cleared .

Here in Birmingham it 17°F at 7:00am and that is very unusual for Alabastan. I looked out the window and there is a lot of snow in the courtyard and a lot of the staff are trapped here because the roads are closed and authorities want people to stay off the iced over streets and highways. The TV and radio stations are on top of Red mountain so those folks had to spend the night at the stations. My brother is up on Rufner Mountain and there is no way to move without an accident because you'd slide right down the hill. Nothing much is moving and the streets are deserted. Lot's of wrecks, jackknifed trucks and people stuck. The 4wd news vehicles are out showing all the 18 wheelers parked on the side of the interstates because they can't move on the black ice. The good thing is that there are no power outages to speak of. ヽ(ヅ)ノ
