Snow!!!

Its snowing down here in south Mississippi!!!! Dan (Grumpy) , I know you're not impressed but we don't get to see this stuff but every 4-5 years if we're lucky and its been 8-10 years since it was this thick.

Man...every body shop in 10 counties must be licking there lips. These rednecks (myself included) don't have a clue how to drive in icy/snowy weather....LOL

Something about this just makes me want to put a little Baileys in my coffee and call the dealership and tell them I just can't make it there today

It's noon here, and the weatherman said it would start at noon... He's dead-on!
Here it comes...still well above freezing, but that too is going to change...Supposed to be in the 20's tonite.

Snow was predicted today in the area of middle Georgia where I live but so far no luck. It might ran tonight though. I hope it does because it sure has been a long time since I've made a snow man or snow angels. As kids when it did snow,we used to sit on an old car hood while someone pulled us around with an ATV. Ah,good times.

It was 50+ here last week. ALL the snow was gone, and a tornado landed 6 miles from my house. It felt weird walking around in a t shirt for 5 days in Jan.
I honestly wish it would just stay cold. At least I saved some on my gas bill.

It was cold here too.

I had to wear my LONG sleeve T-shirt with my short pants and flip flops to walk my dog this morning. Hope I don't have to go through that again any time soon .

News guy said last night that it was suppose to be -12 this morning at 5 AM. I did not go out and check. I will take his word for it. Thermometer in my truck did not get over -1 yesterday, during the "heat" of the day. The hockey rink is "indoors" but the only thing that seperates "inside" and "outside" is a thick tarp. The kids took 5 min warming breaks between 10 min periods. You could of had the "outdoor" rink all to yourself if you wanted. Less than 2 weeks ago the outdoor rink was gone and they struggled to keep the indoor rink fit for play.

I guess -12 is a natural form of "intercooling" but again, I will let someone else find out how a TR runs in this cold.....
