Snow in Alabama...It's a Wondrous Thing!

Dear Friends,

Yes, when it snows in Alabama, it's a wondrous thing.  The usual weather in Alabama is mild.  Our coldest months are January and February, however the temperature is normally only in the 30's - 50's during those months.  However, this year has been abnormally cold.  We have had several days and even weeks in the 20's and even teens.  And Friday, Feb. 12, we even had snow.

We live in a suburb of Birmingham which is right about the middle of the state.  It started snowing on Friday at about 10:30 in the morning and lasted until about 2:00 in the afternoon.  We finally got about 1 - 2 inches.  Everything looked so pretty and clean.

I mentioned where we live because to our south in Mobile, Alabama, and even on the coast they had snow.  That hasn't happened in a long time.

The picture is of my granddaughter (almost 3) building her little snowman. You gotta love it!!  By the way, the next day it all melted away.  That's the way it does in Alabama.  That's why snow is such a wondrous thing!

Until next time...
