I was laughing this am when I heard of first accident due to snow. A
truck putting down salt water on the streets in Philadelphia crashed.
It may or may not snow there tomorrow and if so probably just a dusting.

I'm in western NC and we have about 3" and it's still falling. I'm sure
the schools are closed. BTW, school closings are usually because the
school buses can't get out. But here in the mountains it's dangerous
going downhill and impossible going uphill with a little snowy ice. In
my case, the county road, which is plowed and salted when there is snow,
is only about 1/8 mile from my house. But it is almost impossible to
get there. That's why we usually leave out car just outside the
subdivision if we know we have to get somewhere. From my driveway to
the subdivision entrance, only about 500', is very steep.

Snow shut down Birmingham, Al today with some places in the area measuring 8 inches deep. It will freeze up on the streets tonight but it will all be gone by tomorrow afternoon. We usually get hit and run snow storms but sometimes it will stick around like The Blizzard Of 1993 when the whole area was paralyzed by snow for days. There were shops selling "I Survived The Blizzard Of 93" T-shirts and I wish I had bought a few. ^_^

Snow plow for our development just went by. Did not think we needed it
with just a few inches most of which did not stick to the road.

You find a lot of novices with AWD off in the ditches because they did
not realize that AWD does not mean you can stop better.

I can't stand Moore but I absolutely can't tolerate Jones. I'm not a Republican, Republicans disgust me but DemCommiecrats are special, they horrify me. Perhaps Moore can hold the seat long enough for a tolerable Republican to be appointed by Governor Ivey. But I do like giving the middle finger to Washington D.C., that's why I voted for Donald Trump. I would have voted for George Wallace for President, not because I was a fan but because he was a disruptive figure and it would have driven the Progressive Liberal Leftists Commiecrat Moonbat Freak Politically Correct Trans Intellectual Washington D.C.

Here in the Mohave Desert, when temps reach 110° F we just "damn it's
hot." It snowed ~ 8 inches twice since I moved here. It was mostly
melted the next day. Cars crashing every where.

Here (east Texas), we have significant snow about once every 9 or 10
years. The temperature is not as high as 110° but the humidity is bad in
the summer, so it's worse.

Vermont's claim is 'nine months of winter and three months of damn poor

hundred miles of the Canadian border for most of my life but the year I
spent in Vermont was the longest winter of my life.

"I spent a year in Vermont one February"

I had to work the day it "snowed in Miami" Florida.

In Saranac Lake my bride got "cabin fever" the year we were there.
Doors on my truck froze shut. Had to get in through the back lift
window.


A lot of relationships don't survive a winter in a romantic cabin in the
woods


But there are plenty of babies being made. Pregnancy rates go up :-)

I talked to my cousin today. She's in Atlanta and said she had an
overwhelming desire to go out and make snow angels. Then she realized
she would probably need to call 911 to send an EMT to get her up off the
ground again She's not as spry as she was 80 years ago.

I'm not eighteen anymore, either.

Bad side: More kids in schools so taxes go up.

Good side: More people paying into SS (if working)
