We had flurries most of the day here and not much accumulation. Too much wind. THe roads were nicely glazed with ice, though.

2" accumulation so far this evening, and up to 5" more by morning. WOO HOO!!!!

It's the wet, heavy kind that sticks to everything, and makes great snowballs. Poor Laurel doesn't stand a chance against me, bwa- hahaha!

The sirens started up about an hour ago, too. Sounds like several accidents on the slippery roads, and they are that right now. We had rain all day, then several hours of sleet, and now heavy snow all over that. Makes for interesting driving, to say the least. I think HPM's job interview tomorrow afternoon is canceled, especially given the temps staying in the low 30's and many wussy drivers.

We received the most snow I've seen in YEARS! We live in middle TN, so we don't see much other then ice. I think we got about 7 inches. It was so much fun.

I'd rather have spring than more snow, and that's something else for me to say. Given that, the rain and mud season is in full swing here. My carpets are all orange from tracking in mud, despite my best efforts to the contrary.

Jeez, its 70 degrees in Mississippi and the termites are swarming everywhere.

My sales guys are selling termite control contracts faster than my production guys can get the work done.

We had sunny and 70 degrees last week.

Probably will have it back next week too.

This is our annual/regular spring snow storm. MIGHT get one more this season yet too.

This is just what we needed though to prevent a premature closure to the ski season. It'll firm up the backcountry routes and snowclimbs nicely as well. (Not to mention maybe topoff the resevoirs as well). It'll give the kayakers plenty of stoke in a couple of weeks too.

Yee Haw!
