We had a bit of snow. Before the east was pummeled and buried in it we got the preview here in N. Alabama. Might as well have been a blizzard. The snow came down, the overnight low was in the teens and life as we know it here in the country came to an icy, snowy, and silent halt.
But the best part was the footprints in the morning. They were everywhere! Birds, squirrels, cats, dogs, chickens, geese, and me, we all left our marks about the Farmlet.

While the rest of the East is sick of all the snow, we here in the deep South-Eastern part of the nation are enjoying the novelty!
After all, if it has to be freeze-yur-backside-off-cold, then the least it can do is throw 6 inches of snow for a bit of entertainment!
My apologies to the North East who are up to their rooftops in the stuff.
News reporter to children: “How long will you stay out in the snow?”
A mid-teen responds: “Till 1:00 o’clock!” Looks at parent… “If it’s OK with my mom; can we Mom?” Looking hopeful and adding, “After all, there’s no school tomorrow!“
Bob came in from the cold asking, “How do you tell the difference between snow and sleet?”
A cursory glance through the window had me claiming that it was sleet. I went outside and it sounded like sleet. Hitting the ground you could hear the little rasp as it landed on leaf and dried blade.
Suddenly, I realized that what was on the porch and leaves did not have that characteristic pillow shape of sleet. It was perfect little snowflakes! I only wish the cold didn’t make me shake.
A double-click will bring these into sharper view!
Stay in, stay warm, and if you must go out dress warm and drive carefully!

Have a great weekend!
Today is March 25, 2014, it is 2:26 PM,
and it is
SNOWING!
The wind came up,
the clouds blew in,
the sun went into hiding
and now…
Brrrrr!
OH WAIT…
Same view ten minutes later…
What is your weather doing?
