It's been going for about 3 hours now at least! Snow in Mississippi??? My kids were ecstatic! They climbed out their bedroom window to go play in it at 7am. They hadn't seen any snow for over 3 years, since we last lived in Illinois. It will be interesting to see everyone panic on the roads with all that white stuff. It never snows here. Must be global warming.....

That's great, how fun! Living in Utah were kind of spoiled with the four seasons and all.

Patrick,

It snowed there several times when I was at RTS Jackson. People even broke out the chains for tires. So, don't think "never."

I'm happy for you guys, Pat! We visited Iowa for Christmas and it was fun to have snow on the ground...

It was supposed to snow here (Fayetteville, NC) today, but alas...

I am envious. Up north of you, here in ye olde Memphis, we have no snow, not even precipitation.

Crystal clear blue sky, blanket of 9" of snow, and -6F here as I type...

Well, that's the first since I've been here.

Of course it's all melted now...

Patrick,

My experience in Jackson was that it usually stuck around a few days. My daughter built her first snowman in Jackson (I helped her). I was a district sales manager for the now defunct afternoon newspaper, the Jackson Daily News. It was owned by the Clarion Ledger. Jackson had no snow plows (or ploughs if you prefer), and driving was almost impossible in the aftermath for a day or two. Of course, I had to be out in it to do my job, and gained some good experience in cautious driving.

But being a true southerner, I do not like the snow.

Blessings,
DTK

Very little snow here, at least since I last looked. I'm home today and I haven't even looked out the window! However, it is 1 degree here the last I checked with windchill of about 10 below.

I'm not from the South, but I don't like the cold nor the snow.....

Anybody know of a church that needs a pastor in the South?

Okinawa is in the South (South of everyone in the US, except those in Hawaii, anyway) Maybe there's an opening there!

Well, 2h west of Jackson we got a little bit of sleet but NO snow.
My girls were disappointed this morning when they woke up.
The last snow here was on new year 2000.

Indeed! If I felt called I'd consider it. One of the things about that venture is counting the cost. I could do it but I doubt my wife could.

That particular church has been given good leadership and I'm sure God will get His man on the scene in His due time.

I thought this offering from the Psalm 147:15-18 was appropriate for many parts of the United States right now:

All the seminary students this morning who live on campus where having snowball fights.
