Look at this weather forecast for East-Central Alabama. Up to 4" of snow!

I've seen 11" down here once, so this ain't so bad. This is for the Tallassee-Tuskegee-Auburn area. I think Montgomery is the same.

Saturday
Snow in the morning...then a chance of snow showers in the afternoon. Snow accumulation of up to 4 inches. Highs around 35. North winds 10 to 15 mph. Chance of snow near 100 percent.

Saturday Night
Mostly cloudy in the evening then clearing. Lows around 18. Northwest winds 10 to 15 mph.

Rented beer is what I use on my driveway.

and the only plows around here are attached to the very few trucks that plow the Interstates going through the high passes.

I was snowed in for a week, and I'm from Boston, I know how to drive in it.

It just took a week for my econobox to be able to get through it.

most has been one day. Right now we have no snow on the ground, just green grass and haven't had much all winter. You must have gone crazy being snowed in for one week.

and only the monster trucks with 4WD and oversized tires can get through it.

It took a week of waiting for enough of those to go down my street and squash the snow down enough for my car to get through it.

Usually, even a 6 inch snowfall is gone off paved streets by noon because everybody is able to get out and mush through it. 18 inches just overwhelmed us.

On the bright side, it finally caved in the roof of the oversized garden shed that was so badly built it was unusable and encouraged me to get a new one put in.

It was 33-34 all day, so most of it on the roads was just slush. Now that night when the temps dropped into the 20s there were some problems. The next day it was in the 40s, so most of it went away.

In the county I lived in, the snow removal equipment consisted of the first car to drive down the road to blaze a path. Snow removal equipment was, and is, unheard of.

Saturday
Snow and rain in the morning...then snow in the afternoon. Colder. Snow accumulation up to 2 inches. Highs in the mid 30s. Northwest winds 5 to 15 mph. Chance of precipitation near 100 percent.

Saturday Night
Partly cloudy with a 20 percent chance of snow in the evening. Windy. Lows around 10.

I need to get to the store.....

But, it's gonna be cold as fuck the next few days

Sat night low 13 real feel 11

The Deep South is a friggin Deep Freeze

wasn't he praying for rain.

Yes, he was out there praying for rain this past summer. The idiot read the extended forecast that predicted rain. As usual, the forecast was wrong. We received less than .10 inches of rain one afternoon, and that was the end of it for several weeks. I almost fell out of my chair when one of the fundie female news anchors praised Riley for bringing us much needed rain. Then she went to the weather guy, and he promptly stated the rainfall amounts were tiny and basically gave us zero relief from the drought.

The only time they called for alot of snow and it actually came was back when I was really young. I live in Tuscaloosa now and everyone around here is shitting their pants, Wal-Mart is bare, as are most of the store. I, on the other hand, have some fine shrubberies and a sense of calm, i plan to go to the zoo tomorrow. Southern people freak out at the first mention of snow.

One time there was a pretty good ice storm, in 94 I think. We were out of power for 8 days, I though it was fun, of course I was 11 so...

You know your aren't used to snow when:
You feel the need to buy 10 gallons of milk and 15 loaves of bread when 2" is predicted.
You use socks as gloves.
You use three layers of socks for gloves.
The warmest material you own are sweat pants.


:smoke: :hi: :eyes:

in the eastern part of the state. In March of 1993 there was also a prediction of thunderstorms and possible freezing rain. We received about 8 inches of snow. That was the famous storm that trapped all the Spring Breakers on I-65 between south Alabama and Birmingham. These kids from Ohio and Michigan were freaking out.

Knowing our weather forecasters down here, we will probably get nothing but a rain/snow mix. They may have actually made an accurate prediction with the snow in 2002, though the amounts were larger.
