Is this some sort of sick joke? It was -5 windchill when I went out to my car this morning

The sick joke is that Florida is supposed to get 70 degree weather.

I was a senior in high school during the 93 blizzard. It was fun as shite the first couple of days, but that snow stuck around for over a week, and we were without power most of that week. It sucked once all your clothes were wet and you had to sit inside by the fireplace.

You and I are the same age. The 93 blizzard hit on a Friday afternoon and lasted until Saturday morning. I remember checking out of school that Friday so that I could get to my brother's house in Tuscaloosa. Started sleeting about 3 in the afternoon and shortly thereafter starting snowing. Steadily grew harder and harder before stopping the next morning. My brother lived at the corner of 13th Street/10 Avenue next door to where the white 2 story house is now (it was just an open lot then). We had about 10 inches of snow with 3 foot drifts. AWESOME storm!!

P.S. The 93 storm was epic but my favorite winters were from the 1980s. I know a little of that is nostalgia but there were some epic arctic blasts and quite a few good snows during that decade even deep into the Deep South. There were a lot of really cold winters in the 70s and 80s.

I was working at the Bruno's on McFarland when the blizzard hit. Busiest I ever saw that store, but we didn't care. There were tons of snowball fights in the parking lot with co-workers and shoppers.

51 and cloudy here was drizzling earlier

It was in the 50s this afternoon. I was so happy. I walked around in short sleeves just cause
