I heard there were slopes in 48 out of 50 states. Anybody verify that? The other states must be Florida & Louisiana.

I can tell you one thing, if we get two inches of snow, everything will shut down. We have no infrastructure prepared to deal with snow. I'm gonna be ticked if if I go home and end up not having to work tomorrow. We'll be purchasing our required milk and bread in Knowville on the way home.

Now forecasts are calling for a snow/ rain event for Birmingham. I live in Pell City which is about 40 miles east of Birmingham. For you NASCAR fans, I am 10 miles for Talladega Super Speedway. I hope these guys are wrong. I would love to ski on the small hill outside of my apartment. Better yet, there is a slightly bigger hill at the school that I teach at. That one would be more fun!

But then again it's 4pm, I have a little time to go.
Since you are in the Birmingham area, you will know the name James Spann. For those of you that don't know, he is our weather guru down and he is already starting to point his finger toward next weekend. Reminds me of March 1993.
