Snow Day in the South
« on: January 22, 2025, 04:02:05 PM »
We got 6" of snow on the ground last night and it's hanging around all day and much will be here in the AM.
The last time we had that much accumulation, that lasted, I was five years old (1973). It has snowed from time to time (every ten years or so) but is usually just flurries. 2010 we had a heavy bout of snowfall but it melted in a few hours.

Snow was reported at Destin on the Gulf coast as well.

And north of I-85? Nada.  But we did go ~68 hours continuous below freezing.  Great for the peach crop.

Yep.  A friend in Houston had snow, snow in Baton Rouge and along to you Peg.  Seems as though the entire coastline of the Gulf of America got snow.

Good for the pecan trees also.
The low was 14° and high here today was 37° with a low around 21° tonight.
Forty-eight hours later and 60% of the snow is still on the ground.

We got about 2" from the time I swept off the car yesterday until today. 24+ hours I think. There was already an accumulation of a few inches during the last week or so. I was going to put the plow on my ATV and push the snow around today but I was too tired to mess with it. I just shoveled the back porch, front porch up the the door, and sidewalk out to the city sidewalk. That's the only part I can't plow and have to shovel by hand, or ignore it like I have been the rest of winter.
