Wild Winter Rages On!!

The fall/winter of 2013/14 continues as a chilly one; low temps and now snow are back in the deep and coastal south. A cold front that slid through Monday just barely cleared the coast before stalling and setting the stage for yesterday and today's mess in the normal warmish regions of the US. With bitter cold air in place and a front for moisture to journey along, a rare southern snow storm was just waiting to happen and happen it did. Schools and businesses are shut down, roads are clogged with snowbound and wrecked cars and southerners are hunkered down with snow depths ranging from an inch or two to close to a foot. And, the cold temps have likely made most of the snow too light and dry and fluffy to get a snowman going. Still, a southern snow, while causing major issues, is a rare and delightful treat in a land where winter usually means putting on a sweater.
The latest Arctic blast will fade by Friday, helping with the melt and we may actually see temps warm enough to produce rain and not snow by Super Bowl Sunday. But, don't forget, southern snow should be enjoyed so get out and play a little, today on Earth.
