…..Well, here in the un-official “warmest spot in the Jeffco area,” yeah. We have FLAKES on the windshields in Homewood! YESSSS!
…..With the rapid northeastward movement of this system, we’ll probably wake up here in the B’ham metro area with nothing but the same trash we needed to rake up LAST weekend, but…
…..Yeah. Snow. It WAS here, in early December. I SAW it!
December 4th, 2009 at 10:58 pm

December 4th, 2009 at 11:04 pm
Nothing where I am in Alabaster
December 4th, 2009 at 11:07 pm
WAIT! It’s all a global conspiracy. ALGORE and the global warming nuts staged all this for our benefit to take our attention away from the fact they faked all the data and lied to us all. The sky IS really falling, the emperor really does have clothes, and we all need to go back to caveman living. Oh, wait a minute. I’m sorry, I was dozing off and having a nightmare. It really IS snowing.
December 4th, 2009 at 11:08 pm
Bill Murray has no control over the radar at the station. He & JB report from their residence.
December 4th, 2009 at 11:09 pm
Snowing steadily in Bluff Park side of Vestavia. Small flakes but steady fall. 34 degrees.
December 4th, 2009 at 11:10 pm
Wow. Ain’t it refreshing to find out that everything I was taught in engineering school at Auburn, plus sunday school all my life really IS true. Physics and thermo really DOES add up, and God really DOES know what He’s doing after all. Maybe the fools in copenhagen can figure that out after they fly their private jets there.
December 4th, 2009 at 11:10 pm
Hey everyone,
Look at this loop… it’s almost as if there is something over Shelby/Chilton county northeastward that is IMMEDIATELY drying out the snow as it tries to approach. Just my luck here in Calera, LOL!

December 4th, 2009 at 11:14 pm

December 4th, 2009 at 11:23 pm
Still nothing but rain in Coker
There may be a lone flurry in there somewhere. I’m going to hang out a little longer since I’ve never had snow while I’ve had Christmas lights up. I missed the White Christmas of 04′ in Memphis by 8 days. We moved here after living there for ten years. We had never had a December snow. My going away party cake was a snowman scene. My passion for snow was no secret 
My friends weren’t sure whether to send pictures or pretend it didn’t happen. I sat in my temp apartment surrounded by moving boxes watching weather channel just crying my eyes out. My dear husband drove me back to Memphis Jan. 1 ’05 just so I could see the leftover snow. I’m still haunted by that so I’ve got the camera ready and Chevy Chase Grizzwald Christmas lights a blazin’, ready for something 
December 4th, 2009 at 11:24 pm
It’s snowing in Pinson, Al or Dixiana as my husband loves to say.

EJ – Not sure, but maybe elevation? I know Birmingham is about 500′ higher than Tuscaloosa, so that could make a difference.

Anyone else notice a new snow line forming behind Tupelo?
