Snow predicted in Northern Mississippi Tonight

[BOSSHOG]

Freaking SNOW IN NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI and you fucking liberals insist that man, GOD MADE MAN, is responsible for global warming. Fucking idiots. Its cold outside, dumbasses.

[LaydeeBug]

1. Global Warming is a Farce. Nothing to see here, folks. nt

[tabatha]

2. It is NOT global warming.

It is climate change - which means that weather patterns change.

Overall, the globe has warmed, but locally things can change.

[uppityperson]

16. Time to make sure we use the correct term since "but if it's snowing in MS, means it is cooling, not

warming".

[TygrBright]

3. Yeah! And we had snow yesterday, too!! All that iceberg-melting, glacier-receding crap....

...is just TRICK PHOTOGRAPHY, I tellya! Mocked up somewhere in Area 51 to exploit credulous liberal wusses like Al Gore!

iggerently,
Bright

4. When God gives you snow, MAKE SNOWBALLS! Is real good you a Mississippiman

[BOSSHOG]

6. I recall about five years ago

we got a little bit of sleat on Christmas Morning (we are way south in Mississippi) I went outside and just stared at it. By noon it was gone. And I was in New Orleans during the great "Blizzard" of 22 December 1989. To the locals it was the end of the world. Actually it was a few flurries which lasted for a couple of hours. Hosed up the traffic real good.

[Harry Monroe]

21. Yeah, I remember that "Blizzard"

I was hitting the Union Hall every day on Carondelet St. looking for work (a ship). I belong to the Marine Engineers Beneficial Association. Anyway, on that day it took the usual 20 minutes from Harahan to downtown NOLA via Earhart Expressway to get to the hall. It started snowing while I was in the hall. It took me over 3 hours to get home; cars skidding and sliding all over the place, dumbasses trying to do the speed limit on ice and snow. I was dating my wife at the time; she lived in Pascagoula MS in 1989. Had to wait until the roads cleared up to go over there to spend the Christmas weekend with her. That was the next day, everything was fine by then. But I remember waking up to temps about 10 degrees or so. Thanks for reminding me about that "blizzard", it was actually pretty cool to see such a rare sight in New Orleans.

Global warming must be a libral conspiracey! ;-)

9. Hey BOSS, we may get some snow here in central MS too!

Hooooooeeeeeeeeeee! I can't wait to see these folks here try to drive on snow! Of course, I'll be standing on the corner, because there's no way in hell I'm getting on the road with them!!

[BOSSHOG]

13. You might want to reconsider Bake

"on the road" might be the safer place to be instead of standing on the corner.

[Bake]

23. How about watching out the window?

That oughta do it!

10. We had SNOW last night in TEXAS!! (central Texas)

and the high yesterday was 81 degrees.... Cold front blows through and we actually sleet and snow! :crazy:

[fla nocount]

24. Abilene?

This used to happen a lot. We would take cardboard and sled the overpass embankments along the Winters Freeway. Alternatively we would ski in our boots behind a car with a rope over the moguls at the Crescent Theater Drive-In. Another, more dangerous activity was hanging on to the bumper of a city bus and sliding around it's route hoping not to hit a dry spot in the ice...face plant.

[Texasgal]

26. No... AUSTIN!

And I am native, it hardly ever snows, sleets in Austin.

[fla nocount]

31. WOW. Way down south.

Well, drive-ins are gone, but there's still overpasses and city buses. Be careful though, we were always banking on the idea that folks knew how to stop on the icy roads.

It might not snow much there but folks do the Xmas thing because this fella from Austin wrote a song about it.

Happy Holidays.

34. Monday night our tornado sirens went off in our North Texas city

at 11:15pm..luckily my kid had JUST stepped in the door after driving home from work. Dragged the kid and 3 dogs to the bottom floor of the house, turned the TV on.
It's never a good sign when the weather guy has such a close up on your neighborhood that you can see lines labelled with street names while there are also animated twirly thingies on that map going across/down those street lines.
The next morning it was nice and sunny/warm...by the time the sun went down it had dropped to the 30's and there was sleet drops on my windshield. WTF?? Must we have all 4 seasons in a single 24 hour period?? I know...it's Texas weather, lived here 22 years, still hate the damn weather.

[Texasgal]

37. I can honestly say that this has been

the weirdest weather in event in my recent history... strange... very strange.

I am glad to hear that you are all safe. :hugs:

11. January 1, 2005- it was snowing in the GOM

It was New Year's Eve and we got a winter weather advisory here in New Iberia. I looked at the Gulf Coast weather radar a little after midnight, and it was snowing along the Texas coast and well out into the Gulf of Mexico. If I remember correctly, Victoria Texas got over a foot of snow that night.

[BOSSHOG]

14. Howdy neighbor (almost)

We are about 30 miles northeast of Slidell. Any James Lee Burke sightings in New Iberia? He being one of my favorite authors ever. We've been talking about visiting Avery Island forever. We need to get that done.

[finecraft]

22. He was just here last weekend

He was signing copies of his new book here at the local bookstore. My Brother-In-Law came to buy a book and get him to sign it, and they ended up going next door to the coffee shop to get a cup of coffee together. I'll give you a shout-out next time he comes to town. Maybe you can make it and buy him a cup of coffee! :)

[BOSSHOG]

27. It would be my pleasure

I'e gotten so much pleasure out of Dave and Clete for the past 20 years.

[PVnRT]

12. It's chilly outside today. Where's all this global warming I keep hearing about?

Why, one day this summer it was only 80. 80 fucking degrees! In summer! Clearly, Al Gore Who Invented the Internet screwed up when he invented global warming! Oh, and he has a big house and a large electric bill.

[Blue_In_AK]

15. And we had snow in Anchorage last night.

It must be snowing all over the world. :)

[KamaAina]

17. The more scientifically correct phrase is "global climate change"

true, there's been a rise in average global temperature -- but the models predict more extreme weather events of all types, not just heat waves and drought. This would include everything from snow in the magnolia State to the occasional rain and wind events known as "hurricanes". :scared:

[BOSSHOG]

18. Typical

liberal. Ya just gotta throw in a few extra sybaliblles don't ya just to sound smart. Hell conservatives don't even have to try to sound stupid.

Whats them hurricane things you speak of??

[KamaAina]

19. The red, fruit-punch-like drinks you get at Pat-O's

but you probably already knew that. :P

[BOSSHOG]

20. I'm a Tropical Isle draft beer kinda guy

But you can see Patty-O's from there. I'll probably have to make a pilgramage down in January to annoy Alabama fans. Most likely will be there a couple times before then.

[pscot]

25. When do the ski lifts open?

n/t

[southern_dem]

36. We don't really use skis here

Most of the kids prefer trashcan lids. :)

[Stinky The Clown]

28. My partner (in Austin TX) said they had a dusting last night .... after a record high .....

.... in the 80s yesterday.

[eppur_se_muova]

29. Boss ... cool off ... with a bowl of snow and maple syrup!

I know it's Yankee cuisine, but who knows, you might develop a taste for it!

[babylonsister]

30. It's snowing in Houston now; 3rd time I've seen it here in 17 years! nt

[Elwood P Dowd]

32. In March 1993 we had thunder snow here in Alabama.

I was awakened early in the morning with thunder, lightening, and driving snow. Ended up with about 8" where I live, but some places in North Alabama had over 16". All the college kids from Ohio and Michigan were traveling north on I-65 coming home from the Florida beaches and spring break that day, so many of them were stranded and had to spend the night in various churches, schools, hotels, and other places. That storm worked it's way up the east cost and wrecked havoc all the way to Canada.

[BOSSHOG]

39. I remember it well

I was stationed at NAS Atlanta, the snow started falling on a Saturday Morning and continued through the night. Had a detrimental effect on flight ops for a short while.

[sarcasmo]

33. God Made Man? Really?

[Ichingcarpenter]

35. Its God's justice against a right to work, anti union, Brittany Spears State

I personally talked to her and she said so. Brittany not God.

[southern_dem]

38. While technically

Spears was born here in Mississippi, she grew up and lived in Louisiana. They can have all the credit for her...
