It would be nice if we were getting the snow from what we had 24 years ago today. Blizzard of 93.

People either don't know or don't remember how bad that storm was. 200 people died. Livestock died. Lots of folks around here went 2 weeks without power in sub zero and single digit temps. When snow is 30" deep, you ain't traveling unless you're on a snowmobile or a horse.

I agree. Some of us nearly worked ourselves to death in some bad conditions during that event, trying to get power restored to everybody. Especially to critical customers. I wouldn`t wish that kind of weather on anybody.

Climbing ice covered poles was never fun.

Yeah, if you like a cold rain and more cold temps.

I'm with Paris, I definitely lean towards the cold...here in Jawja anyway.

No doubt. It was awful here. I don't wish for big snowstorms, because people always die. That's like wishing for tornadoes. People who don't have to get out and deal with it and can sit beside the fire and roast marshmallows and drink cocoa don't understand how seriously dangerous a winter storm can be.

Snow the next two days and nights in the forecast here, and temps in the single digits Wednesday night with 20mph winds. They can take this winter back to wherever they got it as far as I'm concerned and bring Spring on.

Every year around this time there's always one last blast of winter..count on it again next year,too.

 

[doenightmare]

Guess I can say goodbye to any fruit on our trees this year.

 

[blood on the ground]

Y'all dont even think about plucking a fresh tomato from the vine or salt and peppering a home grown cucumber right now.
The smell of fresh cut grass!

 

[jbird1]

Got some sugar snow flying around in S Forsyth.

 

[ryork]

Some sleet and tiny snow flakes here in the 30110 as well.

 

[Nicodemus]

I think every mayhaw tree down here is in full bloom right now.

I think we hit 36 for a high and never saw the sun all day. Thermometer says it's 30 right now, but it's the coldest 30 I think I've ever felt. Wind is blowing and it's downright unpleasant outside.

36 in Woodstock, saw maybe two snowflakes. It sure seems like it's going to snow, purplish clouds n all, but I don't think there is any forecasted. Too bad. This is drinking coffee on my porch kind of weather for me

Got a fresh pot I've just poured up. Too cold for anything else, cept maybe some whiskey.

Snowing a tad bit in Helen this afternoon

Snowed enough to cover the deck here in Flintstone today. Feels great outside.

 

[Miguel Cervantes]

Bottomed out at 28°f at 0800 sharp this morning on my wx station.

 

[NCHillbilly]

Brutal here this morning. When I left home it was pouring snow and 15* with a 25mph north wind.

 

[jbird1]

Still sitting at a 32, breezy deg. here in N Forsyth.

You can have that stuff.
