    And the Forecast Calls for Snow

    It's official. A winter storm watch has been issued for our area.
    We're gonna get some snow!

    Shoot, I just realized there isn't one decent hill in Savannah. It's no fun just to sit on the trashcan lid in the snow! Maybe I can tie it to the bumper of the truck and get someone to pull me around the Wally World parking lot. . .

    I take it you're looking forward to it?

    as for the lack of a hill - get yourself a roll of yellow 'Caution' tape. Wait for a local parking lot to get cleared - which invariably leads to large mountains of snow. Look for a good one, preferably that leads off the parking lot onto a grassy area. Block off the area with the caution tape, and consider it your own private sledding area.

    Oh yeah. I'll bet that's something to watch.

    Enjoy Belinda! It's been snowing here since about 2:00am. We have anywhere from 4 to 8" on the ground, depending on the part of town, and it's still coming down. Earlier we had the biggest flakes I've ever seen. Caught a couple in my hand and they were about 1 1/2" across! We even got to leave work 3 hours early. Tomorrow morning is probably going to be slick. Especially if it gets a little cooler than they think at this point. Calling for 29 right now, and that's up 2 degrees from earlier today. So we'll see.

    My daughgter did the snow dance last Friday. Since then we've received over three feet of snow. She is banned from the Snow Dance forever.

    Belinda,

    Have about 2 feet of snow in the yard. Yours for the taking, no charge. You just have to drive up to MD and pick it up.

    You southerners have hijacked our snow!

    Return it or we'll send the Mounties.

    Sheesh, I haven't even put gasoline in the snow blower this winter.

    If Belinda gets more snow this winter than I do, do I have to give up being Canadian?

    Regards, Rod

    Belinda, I'm happy for you, but really, even mentioning the S word right now is like you being elated about a beer to guy waking up with a hang over. If one more flake falls in the next week, I think I'll end up at the looney bin. Oh, and truely, it makes it that much harder for me to feel joy for you since whatever you get, I'm likely to get the next day...

    STOP DANCING!!!!!!!!

    For nothern folks information, we do not plow snow in Georgia we just close everything until it melts. We are already closing schools for Friday, not even seen a flake yet. For someone who grew up in the snowbelt I think it's pretty funny sometimes. But I don't want to be out on the roads when the locals are out. They learn real quick that a 4x4 doesn't mean they can still drive 90 mph and still get there. It's going to be interesting!

    We missed the "Blizzard of 2010". Most of the weathermen were so distraught they were put on suicide watch.

    Relax Rod...

    On the other hand, my backyard rink has been in great condition for the past 2 weeks. Don't need snow, just cold, for that!
    And I've been able to keep biking to work also, bonus!

    I work for the Alabama Dept of Transportation as an Assistant Engineer, and our Governor has told us to stay home tomorrow. However, we may get called out to assist State Maintenance forces as escort services. They do the plowing and salt/sand spreading and we drive behind them to keep traffic back. As of now, the snow predicted to hit central and south Alabama is around 5"-8" and maybe around 1" where I live. We may get another shot of snow Sunday and Monday, so this may get interesting.

    Regards, Colin

    I just heard on the radio that if portions of Florida get the 2-4 inches forecast today then all 50 states will have snow on the ground.
