Will wheel for snow!

It's in the forecast so everyone cross your fingers.

[BlackGrandChrerokee97]

Hope it comes through, this is probably my best chance at getting some time off from school this year!

[snuffles]

I hope, that if we do get snow, it will be more than just a dusting (yeah...right. like that's really going to happen :rolleyes: )!!!!!!

I moved from Jersey when I was 7 and haven't seen a good bit of snow since. :(

[BlackGrandChrerokee97]

Its been quite a while since we've actually had a good amount of snow for this area.

[belltom]

What is SNOW? ;)

[jeepercreeper]

it certainly won't snow in Alabama!!!

[laurielyles]

Let it snow, Let it snow, let it snow!!!!

[YJason]

I'm ready for another 2 footer!

[Don]

What is SNOW? ;)

there is no snow in the forecast... Kroger just needed to sell some milk & bread. :rolleyes: Approximately 1 inch expected here...... not enough to even mess with in my opinion.

[YJason]

There is one thing that sucks about owning a Jeep, you are expected to be able to make it to work if it snows!

[peepspurplejeep]

Tom and I went to work on Monday and there was a ton
of ice on the road. We did see a JEEP in the ditch!!
Tom got all excited thinking we could pull it out since we
were going to be late anyway but alas.............
no driver anywhere to be seen! lol


That said, Jason, just make sure your boss knows the
difference between ice and snow! ;)

Those are the most fun days to drive to work:D

[Paul E]

Things are SUPPOSED to start getting fun tonight with a better chance of sleet tomorrow. Just in case, I drove the TJ. It has armor over most of it, so it could be fun watching cars bounce off it. The front fenders and axles are susceptible to damage, but if they got hurt, I'd have insurance buying me flat fenders and new axles/wheels.

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_2_50.gif

I keep my recovery gear in the TJ, not so much to help others, but just in case I do something stupid.

Even have a chance of flurries (OOOOOOOHHHHHH) for Friday. Coming from the California mountains, I'm not worried. But it sure is fun to watch those that are. :)

It will be http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_1_26.gif but it would be great to get enough snow for http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/28/28_4_11.gif. I don't think Huntsville (or even Alabama) owns a http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/28/28_4_6.gif so if it does snow, having a http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/28/28_4_1v.gif may be possible.

Most likely it'll be http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/28/28_1_19.gif after today though.

[snuffles]

I like your write up there Paul..lol! It reminds me of the stories that I used to read when I was 5. :D

[Paul E]

I try. :)

[Don]

Hey Paul, you write on my read-n level. Thanks. :)

I hope is snows hub deep to a ferris wheel!!!!!!

When I was a kid, (not saying how long ago), I remember some rather significant accumulations of the white stuff. I know, some might think that events such as those are the ones that really stick out in your memory, which is probably true. But for some reason, I don't think we get as much snow now as we did years ago.

Everyone has a grandparent, or parent, that talks about walking to school, uphill both ways in ankle/knee deep snow. I remember when a snow day was something special, that rarely occurred. Most times the buses would run "snow routes" and the schools would still be in session. If you made it to school, great, if not, you just got behind.

Anywho, I was looking through some pictures the other day of my wife's family in their early years. Just about all the outside winter pictures had some snow accumulation in the background. Could it be that the only time they took pictures was when a special occasion occurred, such as a snowfall? Possibly.

But it just seems as though we had more snow 30+ years ago.

And No, I'm not a tree-hugging, environmental wacko, global warming alarmist. ;)

[Don]

We probably did have more snow then. FYI, Global warming is nothing but a cycle in Mother Nature's plan. It has zero to do with SUV's and all the crap that the tree huggers would like you to believe. Want proof, all the records that we are breaking now were set when? Approximately 100 years ago..... The World was a different place in the early 1900's and there were zero SUV's, so how did they set these records?

[kudzukit]

only stuff in my forecast is sleet. YUCK. If it is gonna be this cold and this nasty, why not drop a few more degrees and let us have snow. If not, I'll take Spring back thank you.
38 and drizzle right now. Just yucky

thats all it takes to make folks slide off the road.
post pics victim being pulled out if anyone ends up with any.:eek:

[laurielyles]

from the looks of it now I doubt we get anything :( I'll take either ice or snow, either way school will get out!!! :D

Last big snow here in West Ky, I kept a log chain in my truck(98 Chevy 2500, big block for sure) for all the morons that can not drive in it. Sure enough got the chance to pull out a 4 wheel drive 4 runner in the ditch. I told the guy I would take no responsibility for any damage occured during pull. His wife would not even get out of it and it was off pretty far. I expected it to slide further in before coming out. Lucky for him the truck pulled out like a wet noodle. That was 3 to 4 years ago when we had that 14" snow. My grandfather had pictures of a snowfall decades ago (my memory fails me asto the year) where it had drifted as tall as his milking barn. I think he said it measured about 40" everywhere else. Talk about shutting things down around here for a while. Let it snow, Jason.

Paul. I think you're having too much fun with the pictures...lol! Keep them coming though, because I'm having too much fun reading them :D

[Paul E]

Last time my TJ saw serious snow...

http://inlinethumb61.webshots.com/34556/2674719200015494695S600x600Q85.jpg

It was that heavy wet stuff too. :D

Made for some GREAT sledding up in the mountains!

[jeepercreeper]

Lucky!!! It will never snow here!

[snuffles]

The last time I saw that much snow was about 18 years ago up in Jersey. We had a small front yard (maybe 50' x 50') and we were able to make 3 snowmen and an igloo that my sister and I both could fit inside of.

Yeah, it just now started snowing here!!!!!

[1fastR]

Snowing pretty good here. Its been so long since I saw snow my daughter and I had to go out and try to catch snow flakes in our mouth.

[joey-nac]

This sucks, its not even raining in Nashville, let alone snow.

[Andy's02]

We now have about 1" on the ground and it is still coming down. The roads are clear and that is good.

[jeepercreeper]

that's awesome...but may be trouble for me trying to go get my kids this weekend...unless I drive the Jeep

[Andy's02]

Dave, I dont think this system is gonna produce much so dont worry about it.

[jeepercreeper]

cool...cause that's all i'd need is to get up there and then have to call back and tell on myself for travelin outside my authorized leash distance!

[gmbtj]

Snow will be hitting us tonight. Gonna get around 1''. We went backpacking/camping last weekend and it got into the high 20's with a little snow. We will have more snow in the next few days too. We were supposed to go backpacking again this weekend, but saturday's high is 20F and a low of 4F.:eek: I dont like getting hypothermia/frostbite, so I dont see the backpacking going down.:(

[jeepercreeper]

:eek: Yeah Bro, you better be careful out there!:eek:

[minesweaper]

Well, if this is a report, then it started Snowing at my house in Clarksville some time around 7 PM. Not sure how much will collect but the flakes are quite large. (and I too am from a place that measures snow in feet. Northern California)

[Andy's02]

We are up to about 2'' now.

[minesweaper]

Lucky!! i hope we get that much and it hangs around till morning.

[kudzukit]

we actually started getting tons OF BIG SMOOSHY flakes about 2:30- just in time for school to dismiss in the middle of it! it was snowing so hard I could barely see across the parking lot.
The kids went totally wild! One kindergartner started crying because she didnt know what it was! Another said it was "pouring snow"! It was great fun!
i had to stay all afternoon to work with afterschool care- we took the kids to the playground where there was accumulation- sort of- they made snowball and slung it everywhere! most of these kids had never seen it!
Messy on the roads, plenty sticking in the grass-- not supposed to drop enough to keep us home tomorrow though.

[jeepercreeper]

were at 0" down here...but it's still raining!

[Danny]

little bit of snow here in oak grove. some is sticking, not much. hopefully it'll be nice and foggy and i won't have to fly tommarow!!

[laurielyles]

Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling yoohoo.



Started snowing about 3:00 and its still snowing!!!! :D I'm thinking NO SCHOOL tomorrow!!!! WOO HOO!!!!!

[kudzukit]

Started snowing about 3:00 and its still snowing!!!! :D I'm thinking NO SCHOOL tomorrow!!!! WOO HOO!!!!!

Im jealous!
Actually- ideal would be to start school late- that way we dont have to make up a lost day

[YJason]

3/4" in northwest side of evansville, coming down pretty good. I live in bfe and a snow plow just came down the road, curse you mr. snow plow driver, curse you all to heck!:(

[laurielyles]

we have built in snow days if we don't use them we loose them!!!


BRING ON THE SNOW!!!!

[YJason]

Bring on the snow x2, My wife is out of town, so if school is cancelled so is daycare and that only means one thing to me, Briggs (3 yrs old) and I will be spending some quality time

[Andy's02]

Dang it.....now it is rainning here.

[BlackGrandChrerokee97]

We've got a bit of snow here now, church got canceled tonight because of it.

[kudzukit]

we have "weather days"- one in the fall and one in Spring. We have not used one for SNOW in over 10 years! The only time we have used them have been for hurricanes!
If we dont use them, we get a free day- one at Thanksgiving and one in late April-- Id much rather be out of school in late April-- and go to harlan!

[06Grand]

I like snow but if it gets bad then Andrew will be out of school. Don't want that to happen. He needs all the schooling he can get.

[bamajeepjunkie]

look this is in north alabama we never get snow ????? http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y18/bamajeepjunkie/DSC00199.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y18/bamajeepjunkie/DSC00201.jpg the mini horses are even confused http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y18/bamajeepjunkie/DSC00202.jpg

[jeepercreeper]

nice snow pics...wish i had some!

[skisad]

It started like that for about 10 mins in B'ham then became sleet for a few more mins then mixed stuff, but it all melted when it hit the ground.

[laurielyles]

It was like that here for several hours. I'm still keepin my fingercrossed that we get out. Although looking at the roads at 2am while taking Copper out to pee pee looked clear and it really don't feel that cold out there.

[Andy's02]

We are having school today...Laurie is pissed!!!!


We had around 2" at 9pm last night but it actually seemed to warm up overnight and most of it is gone this morning.

[Don]

We got some white stuff on the grass and that is about it. :(

[peepspurplejeep]

Im jealous!
Actually- ideal would be to start school late- that way we dont have to make up a lost day

I'm with you there!!

Well, we DO have a delay here this morning! :D I'm thinking we have at LEAST 1/2". lmao!! Being from the north where we get lots of snow, it took me a number of years to understand the big issue where there is not even enough to cover the grass. Oh well, as long as we have the DELAY, it's all good to me!!!!

[YJason]

2 1/2 - 3" of snow nw of evansville = 2 hour delay

[06Grand]

We had a little bit but it is gone now. Yea.

[kudzukit]

everything is gone here. We are already in school now.
Everything is wet and it is still 35 out-- drizzly rain- YUCK
but---- forecast is more tomorrow night- and maybe even real accumulation?

[Hokie_YJ]

We had about 4" at 5 this morning, but it's melting pretty fast. I didn't even look to see if schools got out, I didn't have to go today regardless.
