Southern Sleet and Snow

As you can see, the snow isn't sticking to the ground (yet), but has found a place to land on top of cars and houses.

This week, the high temperature was predicted to be in the 30s, and due to the threat of snow, school was initially delayed -- now cancelled -- for Tuesday, and we were given Wednesday off as well. As it is, we will probably have a delayed start to school on Thursday too.

We woke up today to freezing rain and sleet, but they didn't make the call that only essential personnel needed to show up to work on Maxwell this morning until after my mom got there. They proceeded to close all bridges over the Alabama river between Montgomery and Prattville except I-65 due to ice. Sometime during this process, the sleet and rain turned into a mix of snow flurries and extremely small hail crystals. Needless to say, Alabama is not prepared for "winter weather."
