Morning yall, bad news... they changed the forecast on me,should've known.

That's what I get for trusting the NWS,lol.
Hi menkot, were you living here the last time we got snow here,in 2000 ? That was a freak yr, sooo pretty. I've got video of it on my camcorder, but I'm on dial up.

Okay yall start packing some snow,lol.

 

[menkot]

Have you checked the forecast for Friday night????? We are now up to 50% for Friday night with no sticking.

Why can't it do that during the day???

I have been around here (Monroe first) since 1990 I know we got a lot in 98 too. Somehow snow forgot where we lived since though.

I don't mine the snow - its the COLD and then the ICE that get on my nerves.............
Last we had snow fall was New years eve (well we had a couple of flakes today - didn't stick) but from New Year we STILL have crunchy snow - compacted, and melted and re-frozen ice EVERYWHERE - and it just won't get WARM enough to MELT and disapear altogether.....

 

[menkot]

The only ice I have seen has been in my diet coke.

Well, I take that back. A couple of mornings we did have a little but it was gone very quickly. Maybe you need to move to LA. lol! Next week might be in the 60's to 70's here. You just never know.

I just checked NWS this a.m. & we're up to 70% w/ no sticking. I'm going to town tonight,may get some pics. Hey menkot did yall ever go to the leeve & slide down it in snow or ice? I grew up in the Garden district before it was "the" place to live.

We used to have a blast.

LOL, Angie,yeah at this point we'll take anything.

Nope no levee sliding. I was in college then. We are now up to 80%!!! Still no sticking but now saying chance of snow... without rain!!! Before it said snow/ rain mix. Now it is rain/snow mix until 2 am then just snow maybe. It is sounding more and more promising. I am supposed to stay up all night and watch for it to snow. If it snows I have very strict instructions to wake all my kids up so they can go out in the middle of the night to play in it.

I am thinking somebody is crazy. We will see who later though.

It just might be me.

If you hear of cps being called because some crazy mama lets her kids stay up all night and play in the snow you will know who it is.

It is sleeting now and they are out all bundled up playing in it like it is snow. What kind of Mama encourages... I mean allows that????

...A WINTRY MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY
MORNING...

A DEVELOPING STORM SYSTEM ACROSS THE WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO WILL
MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF TONIGHT AND PUSH INTO NORTH FLORIDA ON
SATURDAY. A MIXTURE OF COLD LIGHT RAIN AND LIGHT SNOW COULD DEVELOP
BY EARLY SATURDAY MORNING ALONG AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE TWENTY. AS
COLDER AIR MOVES IN SATURDAY MORNING...THE PRECIPITATION COULD CHANGE
TO ALL SNOW FOR A BRIEF PERIOD RESULTING IN VERY LIGHT ACCUMULATION.
SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN JUST ABOVE FREEZING...AND A DUSTING
OF SNOW WOULD BE LIMITED TO GRASSY AREAS. THE PRECIPITATION SHOULD
END FROM WEST TO EAST BY EARLY SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

Hi Bayou - did ya'll get any of this snow? I can't believe what I awoke too. I've lived in the New Orleans area since I was a teen and just moved at Christmas to 45 miles outside Baton Rouge, just across state line, to Woodville, MS. Couldn't believe what I was seeing this morning. Simply beautiful. Funny thing is first thing I thought about was you. I had read your post late last night, around 1 a.m. and thought it was cute you were wanting snow. Hope you got your wish. I called my daughter in Baton Rouge and she said they had not gotten any at all.

 

[bayouchica]

I'm so jealous, Ruth,lol. All we got was some sleet & a little bit of snow.I was in Monroe when it was snowing here.

This morning, it all moved south of here.
You have a beautiful place.

Looks like it has alot of history. Is Woodsville around the Tunica Hills area? I have a brother that worked at Angloa (sp?) prison & I remember going visiting him (no, he wasn't a prisoner,lol) very pretty country down that way. I'm glad yall got some snow down there, doesn't happen often that far south.

Hey menkot, sounds like something my mother would let us do growing up,lol. Just think your kids will get to brag to all their friends at school.

I was out feeding the ducks on the bayou when it started sleeting,my cat Taz wasn't too happy being out in it.
