I love it!! Being Canadian but living in the southeast has been an eye-opener. Suddenly you don’t mind the sub-zero temps if it means you can roll around in white stuff more often. Last week we had 2 or 3 inches that actually stuck around for 3 days. Of course they canceled school, church, basically shut the whole state down. Husband and I cooped up with the kids at home and made snarky remarks about wimpy Southerners (then cussed as we tramped outside in the 25F cold to look for abandoned toys now buried under the white stuff).

Thing Two,fifteen, managed a full-sized snow pirate after scraping every molecule from the side yard. Apparently, they missed the bus yesterday on the sleet thing. But the grocery chain owners racked up another record-breaking day.

We were in the 1-3″, very near the 3-5″ zone here in metro Atlanta. I think I was as excited as my kids. Unfortunately, we got maybe 1/4″. Enough for a brief snowball fight and a snowman only about 1 ft tall. That 1/4″ fell in the first hour or so, then it kept snowing but got slushier and slushier.

Moving south from the mountains, where I am use to snow, not having it now, I miss it terribly. I want snow and ice so bad. I want to have those few hours at home with the kids, and no work, and no phone ringing. That’s the life!

I was also born and raised in Alabama. I live in Baltimore now and people around here freak out when the forecast predicts snow also. You think we would be used to it by now, it is not a total unusual occurrence around here. I refuse to go to the store simply on my stubborn principle alone - so usually during or right after the “storm” I have to send my husband out for milk and tp - he loves that!

Glad I found you - I am looking forward to reading other posts. I love when I find Alabama girls - all of my dearest friends are there - we are 35 and I don’t think they know what a blog is either. I posted some of our favorite yaya quotes the other day, but I can’t say for sure if they are reading me yet.

What does Lorena Bobbitt and James Spann have in common ? Nothing really except when Lorena Bobbitt says there will be an inch on the ground - she really means it .

I grew up where it snows and fully appreciate the hot summers Alabama has. I could live withOUT another snowflake for the rest of my life. I could, in fact, live without it ever getting below 60. LOL My kids did enjoy the snow, but once every couple of years is enough, thanks.

Hey…hubby always jokes that Spann will get a “weather woodie” when he hears a severe weather day is coming our way! Tee hee!

Did my gulf coast lovin’ self just say that?

That is the funniest thing to me b/c we have so much of it here that I’d give anything to trade places with you. What an experience for the kids. Fun stuff!

I miss James Spann. The local anchors here in Orlando just can’t call with weather with so much enthusaium or insane and freakish knowledge of local geography. My mother is a self proclaimed weather nut and often calls me after watching the Weather Channel to tell me it might rain in Orlando that day. We were visiting Atlanta over MLK weekend and got to see snow. My 6 year old florida born child had never seen snow. She will always have such fun memories of having her 1st snowball fight with her cousins in front of the Georgia Aquarium.
