re: Deep South winter storm and arctic outbreak - Jan. 20-23 timeframe

Ive got 2 left. Came inside bc my sons tablet died. He's running on fumes.

You serious?

Baton Rouge will flirt with single digits tonight. Post-1900 record snow and maybe a post-1900 record low in the same event. I don’t trust the 1800s reports.

Do you even whiskey, bro?

I’m super jealous of you guys. I’m not sure that you can get any better than y’all got if you are a southern snow lover. You got to enjoy the snow during daylight and then the duration. Very rare stuff. When we got our big snow here in Shreveport/Bossier 4 years ago, it happened mostly at night. We woke up to it, which was nice, but nothing like your experience. Everyone will remember this for the rest of their lives that went through it. Congratulations!

My street looks like I woke up in Lake Tahoe.

Mine just looks like Schenectady :noballer:

This has probably been asked, so if it has, just link me to the question and I'll look at the responses.

We're looking at a low chance of things opening Thursday, right?

It's getting down to like 12-13 tonight with 4-6" of snow here. That show will be solid ice by morning. It is going to get into the mid-high 30s tomorrow for a few hours, but there's no way it melts all of that ice, right? So there will still likely be ice all over Thursday morning, right?

It just seems like we didn't get enough sun/time above freezing today and won't tomorrow either

Plenty time for you to watch msnbc

As the sun sets exit stage left on the day, the feeling is surreal. Yet somehow it belongs. A thick white blanket covers all that can be seen. I may never again see this in my lifetime, as long as I live in Louisiana. It may not be a record snowfall, but it is most certainly a record for me and many. We feast on gumbo inside, and sip on bourbon. With no doubt the white blanket will greet us in the morning, I am happy with nowhere to go. It is as if the Lord has pressed the pause button of my life. Much needed. I shall not forget this day for all time.

I was thinking the same. My 8mth old little girl couldn’t be out for long, but it was fun to see her eyes light up for a brief time and watch my dog enjoy the weather he is bred to endure. While I didn’t spend a ton of time outside, a warm house, no work emails, and a long nap with my baby made this a special day for me. It also reconnected me to some friends and family that I don’t talk to every day or every week.

Will freeze again tomorrow and then should start thawing out pretty good mid morning on Thursday. I’d say roads will be safe to travel then, at best.
