This is what the Mexican Monkey has to deal with in Canada. It was taken a couple of days ago. So Y'all just shush!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I live in Montevallo; it was raining ice this morning, but I wouldn't dignify the stuff with "sleet". I had no idea it was actually snowing!

Monkeyman: That looks fun. :-p How long would it take you to get your vehicle ready to actually drive?

hehehe OA, sounds like East TX. blizzards.....:D

I'm a pro now and I have all wheel drive, so I can get up and go lickety split!

Do you have a heater to keep your engine from freezing up?

We start singing "Send Down The Rain Lord" when we get snow like this in SE AK. :D

MM is that powder or the heavy snow? Ours is normally of the heavy participation.

No snow in South,Alabama.It's a little chilly but no snow.

The snow is heavy right now...

We do get powerdery stuff though.

We've had more snow come down in our neck of the woods this year, than in a long time. So much for global warming.

We got a record snowfall last winter.More was predicted for this winter.We're happy to say we haven't received as much so far this season.
It warmed up last night and turned to rain.Lots has melted today.:)

Passed thru today going to Nashville.......definitely not a blizzard but pretty steady rain and snow falling from Brimingham into TN.

We hardly ever get snow in East TX. But we do get some horrible ice storms. That's the only time to be ungrateful for an all electric home. Luckily we have a fireplace and a wood burning stove to cook on. So usually we end up with a houseful of people since my son and his family and my BIL both live right by us.

Now that is why I live on the "Wet Coast!"

We don't shovel rain!

I wonder if my SIL is getting any? Tried to call this morning but no answer.

They did get a few flurries Wed I think it was.

It is snowing in some parts of East TX. today but not cold enough to stick. For which I am grateful since I do not like snow. But my grandson is wanting it to snow here. I got a call from my son in Tyler and my daughter in Hallsville that they are getting a little snow. So it must be coming from the Southeast.
