Snow!!!

This has been the snowiest (is that a word?) winter in Dallas in over 25 years. We had our first white Christmas in 35 years. We had a few inches in November and a couple of other times. And today we are looking at 6 to 8 inches! Wow!

The weather forecasters down here have no idea how to predict this stuff. The said we might get 1 to 3 inches last night, but it is coming down heavy with no end in sight today.

Usually they build up a snow event and it never happens.

Sorry we don't get much of it down here so when it comes down like this. Wow!!

  • Yeah, I'm just a few miles away from Flagg and this snow is blowing my mind. :shock:
    I feel like we're catching up with the rest of the country.

    My dog just made some.


    Well it is a record. 9.4 inches officially. That is the most snow to ever fall on one day in the DFW area. And it is still snowing and will for a few more hours.

    So awesome!! We never get it like this.

    But tomorrow morning will be bad because the temp is going drop overnight and turn all the slush to ice.

    Nah, it doesn't turn to ice like that. I would enjoy it if I were you. I'm in Michigan and so over snow, although I do know we lucked out this year.

    Snow!!!
    is coming my way!
  • Snow in Mississippi and its still coming down!! WOOHOO!!! People think us southerners all flip out when the white stuff comes -- and many of us do -- but this ole boy is at work. This is the most snow by far I've seen in my hometown since my childhood and I'm 33 now. Damn shame to have to work and not get to really enjoy it but if I was still at the house I'd just be sitting around drinking coffee and watching tv
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

  • Cool pics flagg. I work at the local newspaper so I'm going to be getting out and taking some photos around town before long I guess. My cousin who lives right by me out in the boondocks called a few minutes ago and was about to sled down the hill behind my house with his kids and wanted to know if I was home....someobody's arm will be broken!!! HAHA!!!
    my friendgirl is super pissed and freaked out because her boss made her come in today. I really love it when it snows but I couldn't take it if it hung around for more than a couple of days at a time. The last big snow I remember was my senior year at Mississippi State, which is north of here....it came a huge one in Starkville by MS standards but there was nothing down here at that point. That was 10 years ago right about now
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    The best is at the end when the cars can't stop and the driver jumps out of the car before it hits and then after that the passenger is holding on the door on the next car and trying to stop the car by dragging himself in the snow/yard
