Snow Report

[bdtex]

Spanish Fort on the upper east side of Mobile Bay got 8 inches of snow today.

 

[bdtex]

It's raining so much I'm worrying about trees kicking over.

That and high winds did a lot of tree damage in Texas in 2024. Downed trees everywhere.

Yup, your trees aren't built for snow.

It was rain and high winds in 2024, not snow.

It rains so much here, sometimes there doesn't even have to be wind if that soil gets loosened up enough.
Usually water oaks that are leaning is what goes down, but I've seen some interesting things in the recent past.

Ahhh, my error.

Same here in Texas.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

Right now we are at about 8 feet. We haven't had any additional for a couple of weeks.

What, are you an Eskimo?

 

[westwall]

What, are you an Eskimo?

No, I live above 7000 feet in the Sierra Nevada mountains.

So how do you connect "global warming" to the current Florida blizzard???

Paradoxical effect!

(It’s the climate nuts’ inability to recognize the built-in non-falsifiability of their “science.”)

should be alright, tap roots go down 50+ feet or more, rain plus any high wind though the soil can become too lose to hold up the weight

About 7 inches here in LA.

Lower Alabama

only 8 feet? it's really cool to see those DOT snowblowers carving through 12+ feet or the train that has that massive plow to keep the tracks open

Snow?

 

[eagle1462010]

Snow?

Yup. Powdery snow. Most ive seen in my lifetime here. As a kid I remember 1 close but was icey.

Powder is unreal here.

The bulk of our snow tends to arrive in February through March.

If the tree isn't on the decline. Could be no taproot. Like I said, I've seen a lot of things lately.

 

[The Duke]

Yeah, I ain't gettin' snow, but it's cold.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

Wow, that's a lot. For me, six inches is hardly worth even getting the shovel out for, though.

I've driven 30 miles through hill and dell in 6 inches.

Yup and in the south, we have no equipment to deal with it.

 

[The Duke]

I shouldn't laugh. Some dumbasses are gonna probably wreck some shit up.
LA don't be knowin' how to deal with ice. They probably know Skynyrd.
