Well, lookie there! Louisiana has snow! After starting the week with this:   On Thursday morning, we get this:  Look really, really close. Those white streaks? That's snow.  Yes. That IS enough snow to make Louisianans excited!  |

Yep, we got just as excited here in Texas, a month or so ago. Isn't it gorgeous? It looks so pretty when it falls through the air. *happy sigh*
In the South, we get all of the pretty and none of the shoveling. (g)

Yes. That IS enough snow to make Louisianans excited! Heh. Now, Anna, you've lived up here, too, so you know from REAL winters...  We got dumped upon Tuesday afternoon and evening before it tapered off... yesterday was cloudy but nothing falling, and today it's blue skies and white ground. Y'know who I really feel for? Greg, and anyone else in that region... they'd just dug out of the last blizzard, and another one comes in.  |

::wince:: Yeah, Greg stuck good and frozen. He deserves a tropical vacation ASAP just to thaw out.
And yes..I know about real winters. I miss real winters. It's been snowing here all day and there's not a bit of accumulation anywhere, except on cars that haven't moved since yesterday. And all they have is a dusting! Just looks like some giant was careless with the powdered sugar when they were dusting the cake.
Tonight, however, it's supposed to drop below freezing, and continue snowing. Which means the usual morons I share the road with in the morning will become deadly morons as they discover what 'black ice' means. Southern Californians can't drive in the rain, and Southeasterners can't drive in the snow.

It's ironic that, as one of my co-workers pointed out the other day, transplanted Yankees are probably more dangerous than the natives in a Southern snowstorm.
"Why?" you ask. "Surely they're used to driving in heavy snow!"
Yes, we are... around other drivers who are ALSO used to driving in heavy snow. When everyone else is driving at the safe speed for conditions, and we're going an extra 10 mph... chaos looms.
