Two inches of snow expected in the Big Easy.

Paging Al Gore!!!!

Merry Christmas!

We're dodging the snow to our southeast today, but it's supposed to shift a little and give us four to six inches overnight.

OOOOOHHHHHH NNNNOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS GONNA BE WORSE THAT KATRINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT ABOUT THOSE POOR FOLKS IN HOUSTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it were snowing here, it'd be up to my.............tail fin.

I'd be asking for snow-shoveling tips from AD and Kusch.

I warned Kay to tell the Auburn volunteer board of aldermen to buy a street clearing machine!!!!!

Seems they're too busy down there keeping the strip clubs out of public view....

You could borrow one of those street clearing things from Alabama.

So get back to us when it does snow.

Meanwhile, no carping about rain in December!

Considering it's in the 60's here, we could share a snow-removal machine. The biggest expense would be driving it back and forth between states........

I'm carping about the AMOUNT of rain. There's a pool forming in my front yard, which we've had regraded to no effect. I have to jump over the puddle at the end of my driveway to get into the road with dry feet if I'm walking.

Our drainage is close to non-existent.

Oh boo hoo hoo!

It doesn't take much at all for the rain to pool at the ends of driveways here. You're either gonna get wet or muddy going to the car....

Any amount of rain is twelve times that much snow you're not getting!

But I'll give you a snow-shovelling tip, just in case:

Spoiler

Have the boys do it.

You get too much of that powdery lake effect snow up there. The conversion rate down here is closer to 5 inches of snow per inch of rain.....

One of my meteorology profs (God rest his soul) once said that the best way to shovel a foot of lake effect snow off the driveway was to just blow really hard....

I remember seeing people use little brooms in Denver. They just whisked it right off the windshield. Here it's soggy mushy stuff that seeps into your bones and bloodstream and saps your will to live. It can stay as far away as possible.

My boys fight over who gets to shovel. For about 16 seconds. Then they get the idea it's a lot less fun than it looks at first............

Me and Mr. Snow Shovel are strangers. I will just slog my way through it.....

Speaking of 8 years ago, it will be 8 years Saturday since that big snow we had that stayed on the ground well into mid January. Every other snowstorm we've had since then had been followed up by warm weather, so it always melts within a few days (or hours).......

We got a dusting of snow here in Houston last night.

It was the first snow since Christmas Eve in 2004 and tied the record for the earliest snowfall of the season.

In 1944 and 2008 it snowed here on December 10.

Lake effect snow is not always powdery. In Michigan we often got very heavy wet snow as lake effect. It is even possible to get lake effect rain.
