Praying for snow in Cajun country

[T Boog]

It almost never snows here in Southeast Louisiana. Last time was 2009. Theyre showing possible snow here come Tuesday. Im hoping my 6 yr old grandson gets to play in snow for the first time.

Im sure many of you are sick & tired of snow but say a prayer for us anyway 😁. It's a huge treat for the kids here. They finally get to see their favorite holiday movies come to life. Plus, all the schools close. (probably because we Coonasses suck at driving on snow & ice 😄)

I'm sure several here would be willing to send their snow to you! 😁

 

(We haven't had any this season yet...)

Stumbled upon this in my memories again recently. The picture was taken in my hometown the year I was born.

I've very fond memories of Canadian winters as a kid. Especially after seeing Empire Strikes Back, with all the snow.

As an adult, not so much... I do miss it during the holiday season. But just for a couple of days. We rarely get snow here in Vegas and when we do, it usually melts the second it touches the ground. But in February 2019, I got to see a thin layer of snow on my house that remained for several hours.

It's looking like we may get plenty.  They're now showing 100% chance of snow for us. I'm feeling pretty good about our chances here. ⛄

Wow, that's cool!

But that's gotta be a  huge PITA to deal with 🫣

I was in a dart tournament in Las Vegas back in the 80's in February where it snowed (and stuck!).  Seemed very weird since I had also been in one in late August where it was 129 F!

I remember standing on the corner of the street when the cab dropped us off the first day, my (ex) wife and I looking at each other and going: this is not possible. Something's broken. It cannot possibly be this hot. And that was in September...

This ties in with the Empire Strike Back thing I suppose - it was indeed like moving from Hoth to Tatooine.
