RAIN AND SNOW IN ALABAMA


First it rained. On Friday (2/27/2009) it rained all day. We got 3+ inches during the day which caused the lake level to go up. When it finally stopped raining, the weather was balmy but we started hearing rumors of possible snow Saturday night. Anything is possible in Alabama!

Now for those of you who brave the snow all winter, this is no big thing. But when it snows in Alabama, everything comes to a halt. The stores are swamped with people buying milk, bread, and beer.

When Buddy and I got up this morning, the ground was pretty well covered with snow. It continued to snow all morning, sometimes quite hard. It finally quit snowing about 11:00 and the sun started peeking out. The temperature warmed up quickly so the snow started melting just as quickly. It was pretty while it lasted but it sure did leave the ground wet, wet, wet.

Here are a few pictures I took earlier this morning.

Just wanted to share our short-lived excitement.
