Semi-tropical Baton Rouge TodayI called my father in Louisiana to wish him happy birthday, and they've got snow on the ground down there, which is a rare event
Growing up, we averaged an inch or so of snow every ten years or so in Baton Rouge. We'd get a dusting, the town would shut down and everybody'd go home. After a bit, if you took a walk, you'd see the lawns of St. Augustine grass would all be mostly bare-- everybody had gone out and rolled all up the snow into big balls to make snowmen.
I never learned to drive in the stuff. When it snows here, I stay home. No point in having my itty bitty car slewing all over the road.

We got an inch of snow in north Florida in 1988. It was a blast! My friends and I watched cars on the roads skid into each other. I guess that's something 17 year-olds find humorous.
I never learned to drive in snow either. Made living in Colorado later reaaaaallly interesting.
My wife called me at 11 PM (while I was in an Ambien induced slumber) to tell me it was snowing in houston.
Not flurries, but honest to goodness snow.
Fell right back asleep thinking it was a dream.
Probably not much snow where you are, is there, Brad?
