Well, it does not have to get too deep in the South for things to shut down. It takes only a couple of inches. Unlike them Yankees, it must have to be four feet deep or more for them to shut down! B-)
Here is a pic of the home place in northern Chickasaw County between Houston and Tupelo. I stayed in the house all day and did paperwork. As usual, it was mostly gone by mid-afternoon. Oh, well. We still have mud.
That looks like just a 'dusting' to me :-/
Harold,
They are predicting 1-3 inches for us starting early this morning. It will probably be a nightmare. people around here just don't know how to drive in this stuff.
I am supposed to be in the field, but we'll see what mother nature has in store for us.

Looking at 10"-14" at home and 8"-10" at the office tonight and tomorrow.
That's why Bill Gate's little worker bees invented Remote Desktop 😀
Here's how much we got last week!! :-O
Forecast is for 10" - 16" around here tonight. But I put the chains on the tractor so maybe that will keep it away.

i second that, dave. i went to the butcher shop, and also cut more wood for the bbq grill. my bride went to the grocery store, so it won't snow in baltimore either.
besides, they are only expecting 0.83' of snow here
You think this will spur Mississippi to buy salt trucks?

Why can't the guy driving the plow just throw salt out the window?
The last time I opened my big mouth about how "cool" (73F) it was a freeze followed 3 day's later. Taking that into consideration I am simply going to keep quiet weather-wise henceforth.
😉
Don't think I would even bother shoveling that....
Heavy frost!

It snowed big time here yesterday morning.
It has now turned into an ice event. I hear on the radio that some 40k folks in the metro-Atlanta area are now without power.
Everyone seems to be in a panic after getting their butts kicked a couple weeks ago.
That's ok. At least there isn't a bunch of idiots out there on the roads much. I imagine God help you to find a loaf of bread, a dozen eggs or a gallon of milk about now.
I heard earlier this morning on the radio some weather guy or traffic reporter (don't remember which) about what "an ice storm in Georgia smells like". I thought the guy was crazy or I didn't hear him correctly. Then he says it smells like pine trees after they start crashing down. Ok, that made perfect sense and was good for a laugh.
Personally, it doesn't bother me. At age 16 getting my driver's license, I did the driving test in about 6" of snow-pack and ice. No problem. That was in south-central Illinois circa 1976.
I kind of get a kick out of watching people freak out and not knowing how to handle it all. For Pete's sakes, the human race has been surviving thousands of years without power, running water, cell phones, internet, et. al. My ex and I got snowed in while living in the Appalachians. We lost power for about 5 days. No power also means no water since we were on a well. She was amazed I managed to keep us going. It ain't that difficult. Keep the fire going. Keep a big pot of snow melting (so as to flush the toilet as needed). Go without beer. Get over it.

Stay safe and skip it if you can. We just went through a snowmageddon here in Portland and I was truly dumbfounded by the complete lack of snow driving skills, common sense and general awareness displayed by my roadmates. It was quite comical but many people sat for hours on the roads due to the idiocracy of others. Pretty happy to live out of town during that stretch. I do love how the snow slows everybody down in all aspects of ones daily routine.
:good:
It's just not fair. :'(
Everyone but Alaska gets snow while my skis are collecting dust.
Damn the polar vortex! :pissed:
Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get me.

Now that is just uncivilized!!
My Mom's family is from Mississippi; I kid because I love 😉

Not to worry Brian!!!
I just got back from the beer store.
High winds, freezing rain and sleet be dammed!!
The liquor store however was not open. Oh well. Guess I'll just have to suffer through beer only tonight.
Send some back to AK!!
I even took the plow off of the truck! Still no snow! 5 below, but no snow. Dang!
