When southern climates get snow I think they get a bad rap for being poor drivers. In the U.P. we would start getting snow mid Oct and it would be gone in mid May. They can brag about diving all winter on snow pack and never having an accident but what they never tell you is the first snow is different than all the rest. It's "Greasy". The stuff on the bottom is melting making it all slick once the ground cools off, it's stiff, not "Greasy" any more. Down south the ground never gets cold, every snow is "Greasy".We have had 2" of snow in N. Virginia. Traffic will be immobilized for a week.

Every snow is on the ground until it melts in the South. This is the seventh anniversary of the last terrible ATL snow (it came at noon, and everybody left work for the burbs at the same time, and I know two people who slept in their cars and another who slept at a grocery store), and ATL pledged to double its fleet of plows — to 40 — at the time.When southern climates get snow I think they get a bad rap for being poor drivers.

I was catching a connecting flight out of Atlanta as that storm was barreling down. I think we were literally the last plane they allowed to take off. After getting home and reading about how that storm paralyzed the city for days, I was sooooo relieved to get out, as you can imagine.Every snow is on the ground until it melts in the South.

People have long memories, and the city mostly agrees to shut down when there’s a threat. Our kids have definitely had snow days when expected flurries instead arrived as mid 40s and cloudy.
Looks nicer than Chicago right now.
What's Berney Sanders doing in Alaska?
At one point, I lived in Watertown NY. It was at the Northern end of Lake Ontaio and it was not known as Snowtown USA for nothing. Averaged over 100 inches per year and just to the South it was as much as 160 inches per year. I remember hearing on the weather channel a few years back about how Watertown had gotten AT LEAST 3 inches of snowevery day that year. It was mid February. I laugh here in Chicago when they think they have had a lot of snowWe have had 2" of snow in N. Virginia. Traffic will be immobilized for a week.
Waiting for the Moose to come by.Maybe I do have a future in politics. 😄
What’s your standard procedure when you have visitors on the deck? Welcome them? Chase them away? Observe only?
So now you are a squirrel?Typically the visitors that show up on the deck are squirrels. Options #2 and #3 usually.
Alaska, do you know if “The Commissioner” Adam Crum has had anything to do with Alaska’s nation leading rollout?

How many of us can claim to have large ungulates in our backyards?
Thankfully at least we are getting more and more sunlight so it stays light until 9:30 PM at present. These past three days though have seen record lows for the respective April dates. 21 degrees F now and will drop to 14 tonight.Snow still exists? Thank god, I thought my shoveling days were done.
Is there any reason this was shared right before Valentine’s day?Probably everyone here who doesn't live in a city. I have a small herd of seven ungulates that like to bed down in my backyard at night.
