Have you heard the mentioning of snow for tonight? I am excited!!! I hope maybe I actually get some to accumulate on the grass this go round.

I'm excited too!! The last time it snowed it accumulated on the ground out here (down 69 S). We even built a pretty big snowman. Our family and friends in Northport and other parts of Tuscaloosa didn't get much at all though. They'll probably be the ones that get it this time and we won't have any!

I think this weather is just ridiculous! It needs to be either winter or spring, not one thing one day and another the next.
I saw kids in shorts yesterday, and now snow. I guess I should be used to it by now, though!

I never expected such ups and downs here. I'm hoping not to get sick. Usually when the weather is crazy like this I get a cold. Boo.
I don't want to see snow. I'm flying to NY Wednesday. There's enough of it waiting there for me. LOL

March is the month that messes with ya. 75 degrees one day and then 25 the next. Crazy stuff. I remember the blizzard of 1990, being in the sun and shorts one Saturday trying to tan my white legs for upcoming spring and then just one week later we were in 4 feet of "shut down the state" snow. Then back up to 70 the very next weekend. You will be fine to fly Wed - nothing lasts more than a day around here!

Here is what James Spann posted on his blog about an hour ago (weatherman at ABC 3340, for the recent transplants who might not know the name):

Again… here are our main bullet points for tonight’s storm system:
*One to three inches of snow, mainly in grassy areas, along and north of U.S. 278, or north of a line from Hamilton to Cullman to Gadsden. There could be some icy spots in bridges in this area late tonight, but the roads will most likely remain only wet because of the relatively warm soil. The exception could be in some of the high terrain locations over Northeast Alabama, where a few roads could become snow covered.
*Around one inch of snow for the I-20 corridor, including Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, and Anniston. Again, this will be on grassy areas. The roads will be only wet, and travel problems are not expected.
*A dusting all the way way to U.S. 80, or a line from Demopolis to Montgomery to Opelika. No travel problems here.
*There could be some convective snow late tonight and early tomorrow that could produce local areas of higher accumulation. We might even hear of a report of thundersnow somewhere.
*This is nothing like the Blizzard of 1993 for Alabama. Not in the same league.
*The heaviest snow should be northwest of Alabama, in the general area from Greenville, MS to Memphis to Louisville and on to Cincinnati and Buffalo. Many spots in this band will have over five inches of snow.
*Tomorrow will be cold; we stay in the 30s all day with a wind chill index below freezing at times.

Not a huge fan of snow, myself. But at least it's not tornadoes!!!

Well, no snow here. And we're up 69 in the south part of town.
Anyone get snow?

We had some on our slide & cars, and a lot on the grass. It's almost all melted now, though.

Here it was covering the rooftops and bushes and then some on the grass. It's all melted now here too. The kids enjoyed going out for about half an hour after they got up and playing in it.

Everyone in my house slept right through it!
Oh well. It was nothing compared to what we had earlier this year, anyway.
