A few minutes ago it was sleeting here really good. It melted some and turned to slush. Now we are getting a good snow! Danny is out driving in it. I am excited. I LOVE snow!

Here is the Radar image from a few minutes ago. It is one of the strangest radar images that I have ever seen.

Network news reporting 6 inches of snow in New Orleans.

It has been raining here all day, it is supposed to get cold tonight, not sure how cold but anything under 70 degrees is unacceptable. :cry:

We have had a literal blizzard for the last three hours for 3 to 4 inches of snow. It took us over an hour to drive 16 miles as the roads were full of snow also. There was one reported death in an accident not long after the roads starting slicking over. See the radar image.

Traffic this morning was crazy...oh the main roads were fine...but the apartment set that I am currently living in...now their roads were a sheet of ice.

The cars and trucks entering and leaving got to playing bumpercars so much that no one could get in or out of the apartment complex. All for just a little ice melt it could have been avoided.

I should be able to leave soon...one tow truck gave up trying to get in. But the weather has warmed up enough so that the ice is melting off the pavement.

good thing too...I have a ten o'clock with my lawyer this AM

I hate snow.....5 years in South Dakota took care of all my dreaming about "White Christmases". You only need to shovel snow every day for 6 weeks in a row to make you hate the thought of the white stuff falling.

It was very cold and terrible weather last night.

Well, Ive told y'all before about mid-Tenn drivers. They were out in full force this morning. It took me an hour and a half to make a eleven mile drive to work because of all the wrecks. :evil:

I love snow! Haven't seen any in a decade, though. Chicago snows were the worst. Lived in the Chicago area 5 years during my teens, and did my share of shoveling snow, too.

Tennessee snows are the best. :D

One day this week I woke up to twelve inches of new snow. I love getting out there and man handling the elements. It's a nice change of pace from constant keyboard. Fresh, brisk, earthy.
