Killer snow storm heading right at us in South Alabama.

[Elwood P Dowd]

2-4 inches predicted with massive drifts up to 6 inches. I went to Winn Dixie today and loaded up with supplies for this massive blizzard - a 6-pack of beer, some treats for my cats, and a pack of chewing gum.

:toast:

[virgogal]

1. And the batteries-----don't forget the batteries. Have fun !

[MrMickeysMom]

2. Where's you short wave radio?

You and the kitties need to hear all the religious shows with bad music and old bible thumpers.

[HereSince1628]

41. It's gotta be a crank-powered radio or it's no good for this storm n/t

[MrMickeysMom]

45. You bet. I've got one of them, too

Cost us 40 bucks. We used a Grundig crank type last week.

[Elwood P Dowd]

46. Hell, I've got one of those Grundig cranks.

Decent little radio when power is out. It even has a light.

[FourScore]

3. don't forget candles and lighter...and charge your cell phone. n/t

[MiniMe]

4. Bread, milk, and toilet paper

[HeresyLives]

5. 'Massive' drifts up to 6 inches??

That's not a drift, that's snowball makin's.

:rofl:

[Shell Beau]

9. For us in the south, that is massive.

We get terrible thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes, but throw us a little bit of snow and we freak out!!I am super excited about the 4-5" of snow we are supposed to get. On a really cold year, we may get a flurry. So hell yeah for the little piddly snow we are getting!!!!

As matter of fact, I am sitting here with my husband by a fire listening to music and watching the snow fall. Loving every minute of it!

[HeresyLives]

13. Trust me, the novelty will wear off

if you spend a couple of weeks digging out your car. :)

[Shell Beau]

15. I imagine so, but I don't see that in my future in mid-MS.

We take what little we can get.

[MUAD_DIB]

6. Killer?

We don't have any snow in Boston. :(

[Elwood P Dowd]

11. We might have more snow tomorrow than they have for the Winter Olympics.

I'm just having fun with all the crazy weather girls and guys down here, but there really could be some decent accumulations of 5-7 inches in parts of South Alabama.

[dixiegrrrrl]

17. Where did you hear the 5-7 inches part for So. ala???

I am in SW Ala. but don't catch the tv weather, just the internet.
Sounds like you are saying a REAL snowfall???

[Elwood P Dowd]

18. Channel 12 from Montgomery.

That's what they predicted on their news tonight. Parts of SW Alabama could get up to 7 inches.

[dixiegrrrrl]

19. Hey, Neighbor...look what I just found....

[dixiegrrrrl]

43. Snow-toon for southerners

[ThomThom]

44. You can come on down to the DC area we will let you have all you

can carry. It is piled high here. Today, we are getting the cities moving again. People can get back to work.
Many people in Maryland have been without power for days.

[Elwood P Dowd]

7. Oh, hell I forgot

to get condoms for the cats.

:beer:

[BeFree]

8. Poor cats

(deleted) <grin>

[uppityperson]

20. clothespins. nt

[Captain Hilts]

10. Two years in a row the ODU basketball team got snowed in in Birmingham.

In the '80s.

[Frances]

12. Where are you in South Alabama?

I grew up in Clarke County. Will they get snow?

[Elwood P Dowd]

16. I'm in East Alabama, not far from Tuskegee and Auburn. You will get plenty

in Clarke - maybe 7 inches.

[QC]

14. We might even get some snow here in the Panhandle,

though only inland--here on the immediate coast we will only get cold drizzle.

[csziggy]

32. The weather service says Tallahassee is getting light snow right now

http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?map.x=216&map.y=149&site=tae&zmx=1&zmy=1

But the air temperature is 40F so it's melting on the way down. Here, about 25 miles north east of there, we're just getting rain, maybe some sleet. The horses are in the barn. If it were really cold and snowing, I'd leave them out, but with the cold wet weather, it gets through their coats and they get badly chilled.

[QC]

33. It's been quite a cold winter here, hasn't it?

I think I have had enough of this to do me for a while.

[csziggy]

34. I am definitely ready for spring!

I've been here when we had colder temperatures, like Chistmas of 88 or was it 89 when it got down to 8 degrees. But never when it was that cold that long like we had last month.

And my old bones can't take it. Monday night when the low was moving in, I could barely walk from the pain in my joints. Tonight is getting that bad. Times like this the Vicodin does not help, crawling under the electric blanket with it cranked up to HIGH does not help. The only thing that will help is when the barometric pressure gets back above 30 inches.

If this is what the future holds I may well sell my farm and move to Belize! I'd still have to live with low pressure systems but at least they would be warm.

[QC]

36. Yeah, that was an awful cold spell. It just wouldn't end!

And the humidity makes it that much worse. People don't understand that 40 degrees with humidity near 100% is far worse than much lower but dry temps. When it's cold here, it hurts. It's actually painful.

[Artie Bucco]

21. The DFW area got slammed

Every town in the DFW area got 5 inches plus of snow my town got 7 inches.

[Odin2005]

22. 6 inches? Massive? HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

:rofl:

[Elwood P Dowd]

24. I'm just joking and having fun with the weather guys down here.

:beer:

[rufus dog]

23. Come on Elwood

No beef jerky?! Rookie

[Elwood P Dowd]

26. I have plenty of Vienna sausages. I'm too old for jerky.

Arthritis is hell.

:beer:

[bandit599]

25. Good luck with the winter storms

We're used to winter in Alaska!

[ddeclue]

27. What about Wilson the Beachball?

:rofl:

[Elwood P Dowd]

28. I have a VHS tape of the movie

but it's buried with M-16 and all my New World Order tapes.

:spank:

[npk]

29. In Atlanta they say we might get a dusting, up to an inch

That means massive traffic jams and dozens of cars parked on the side of the road. :D

[kestrel91316]

30. Get about 5 gallons of milk........

so you can make snow ice cream for the whle neighborhood.

[Skip Intro]

31. They're calling for snow in coastal SC too. I'll believe it when I see it.

We never get it when we say we will, but if we do, it'll definitely be killer.

[krispos42]

35. Nice to see all those prayers for rain are coming through for you guys.

Too bad about the timing, though...

[Elwood P Dowd]

37. Yes, our repuke governor person is a real piece of work.

He prays for rain, and we get monsoon weather in the summer/fall. He also stole the 2002 election from the real winner, Don Siegelman. Don went to bed as the elected governor and woke up behind Riley when the Baldwin County results were changed by KKKarl Rove's cronies.

[krispos42]

38. Yeah, Thom Hartmann is all over the Siegelman case.

I can't believe Obama hasn't pardoned him yet.

[malaise]

39. Stay safe

:D

[Baclava]

40. Time to start breaking up the furniture and burning it!

Books too. That's what they would do in the movies.

[Raven]

42. Stay off those roads!!!!

Years ago I went through a storm like that in Alabama. I'm a New Englander, grew up with snow and ice. I got out on those innocent looking roads down south and it was a nightmare. Stay home, guys, be safe. It will melt.
