    Default Grrr... snow in Alabama! Can't ride today!

    The snow is coming down today, but it won't stick... only 38 degrees. It has rained for the last 7 days and no sunshine but thankfully, tomorrow the sun will be out again. Just in time for a PGR ride in the morning to the Montevallo National Cemetery.

    Do they have the machinery to deal with cleaning the roads off, or do you just have to wait it out?

    In Charlotte, NC they have pickup trucks with OSB strapped to the grill. Highly effective

    I feel your pain, Lamont. Today is the 6th day straight of really crappy weather here in SE VA. Last weekend was solid fog and drizzle and it hasn't stopped raining all week. Like you, we are expecting snow tonight. Hopefully it will be all clear tomorrow AM...I have a PGR mission with an 8:45AM assembly time tomorrow...hope I'll be able to make it.

    Is snow in Alabama something that happens regularly, or is it sporadic? Just curious.

    We are now back to "normal" for the moment. Twenties (above) almost 10 inches since yesterday. I am going to wait for it to stop and then fire up the snowblower.

    Back in 1992 we got about 4 inches of snow. A blizzard by our standards. The snow team where I live was a couple of prisoners in the back of a beat up Ford throwing out red dirt on a bridge. That was about it. Never even seen a snow shovel in my life!

    You guys are reminding me why I moved to Southwest Florida. It's been in the 80s every day and high 60s at night since Christmas.

    We are getting a cold snap this weekend though. Daytime highs might be as low as 70. That's jacket weather down here!

    At 70, I am starting to complain about how hot it is, and wringing the sweat from my shirt. I guess that is why my wife calls me the human furnace.

    I can't ride today either because we don't have any snow. Big cool down coming for next week, lots of lake effect snow in the forecast.
