Wow...
The 'weird' weather along the Gulf got interesting yesterday! Funny how this didn't even get to be a 'named' storm, like all the ones that go through the Midwest!
The Gulf Coast was probably the biggest surprise, especially Florida. Most people head down to the Sunshine State in January to get away from snow and freezing temperatures, but cities from Pensacola to Jacksonville got hammered with the white stuff. The Pensacola area seems to have been hit the hardest. According to AccuWeather, the panhandle city recorded an official 7.6 inches, while the Pensacola News Journal reports that some other local areas potentially saw up to nine or more. The record for the city, which is from 1895, was a whopping three inches.

Soooo, this storm dumped record levels of snow on New Orleans, Pensacola, and probably a lot of other places along the Gulf Coast, breaking some records that go back over 100 years.
Now I just want somebody to 'splain to me how this is 'globull warming'!
I know you folks up north are laughing at us, but the South is NOT set up for these temps or the snow. Probably the only snowblowers belong to the snowbirds that 'forgot' to take them out of their household good shipment...
And De Santis closed I-10 due to snow and ice, to keep folks from getting killed trying to drive in that mess. I-75 was also having issues in GA and North Florida as of last night.
But those folks will get through it, just like they do the hurricanes and tornadoes that are more 'regular' visitors. Although, with the new administration, they might actually get some help from the government if they ask for it!
That's why they quite using the term "global warming". Now it's "climate change!" so they can claim any and all natural events as being caused by humans. Too hot? Human caused climate change! Too cold? Human caused climate change! Too wet? Human caused climate change! Too dry? Human caused climate change! Beautiful perfect weather? Uh.....look at this cute picture of polar bears.....
And of course in all this, you must give us all your money and all the power and as we tell you or the earth is going to be destroyed!
Never mind that according to them, the earth has been much hotter in the past and much colder. And also, doesn't nature well, according to them evolve? Change? I really would like to know why they think we must freeze the current ecosystem as it is when the ecosystem of this earth has been in constant flux since the earth came into being?
We got several inches on the Back Porch, Jim. The Feline-muse just dealt with it, though she obviously wasn't happy. The streets have melted though, which is good because FL ain't got no snow removal trucks like up North.
