Snow in Huntsville

H@rry · Mar 1, 2009

I know this isn't much for some of you but it's the most snow we've have for several years. We went through the whole winter and it finally snowed in March!

There is snow in Guntersville also. What a shock! We got up and snow all over our yard.

When we go to our place in Lead Hill Arkansas, snow is a VERY RARE occurence. Last time we were there is went from 78 degrees at noon, to 20 degrees and snow by 6:00 pm. Got over 5 inches of snow, they shut down the whole county practically. It was weird to see the people who went to work that morning in shorts, trying to get into their cars during a blizzard 8 hours later....

We got a good bit more snow than that west of Athens. Had to postpone church services till 3:30 in the afternoon, which was...wierd! :squigglemouth:
It was nice to see the snow though, but it was also nice to see most of it gone by afternoon.

It always seems strange that you southerners dont get to see snow every year. Im not even suer you can consider that snow, harry. lol

Yep, we consider it snow. If we didn't consider it snow we would not live to see snow.

ha yea I guess. Did you just post those beautiful spring picks. Is this going to hamper the garden?

The most I've ever seen in my life was 18" north of Memphis back in 84 or 85. Then in Nashville in 03, we got 8" in an hour (shut the city down). Aside from that, only a few inches here and there (and except for the 18" in 84/85, all is melted within a few days of falling). Everyone thinks they are getting snowed in for months, though, based on the response at grocery stores

. We got a few inches a couple of times Sunday (when it stopped snowing, it all melted, then started snowing again-40 degrees all day). People here have no sense being on the road in the sun, so with wet streets and snow falling (nothing sticking to roads mind you), getting around at a speed of over 10 mph was a challenge... I love the drivers down here.............................

At 3 pm that day there wasn't a cloud in the sky and not a flake of snow to be found. It was as if it never happened.

We got about 5" just north of the AL state line. Our schools were still closed today and our deck still has about 2".
