Default Snowing Down South

It is snowing in Texas (Galveston), Louisiana (New Orleans) and Mississippi (Hattiesburg).

Wow I loved the pix that are in the local papers and daugther said my grandson has been out playing in the 1/8th of an inch they have right now. The newspaper said they may get up to 8 inches today.

haha.. that's what my 5th grade teacher used to say when someone's slip was showing (oops, have a dated myself there?). "psst.. Clara, it's snowing down south, hint hint."

I'll bet the babies are loving it, Rete, what a treat for them!

We got about an inch of snow overnight here in Lafayette, LA.
An older guy that I work with (late 50s, lived here all his life) reckons it's the 4th time he's seen snow in his lifetime.

well MIL teaches, new super for the district is inept and didn't put in a snow day or a delayed start...caused a school bus full of kids to crash off the road and all the drivers are now filing grievances for having to take kids in at regular time in unsafe conditions
