Tornado footage

More to come later on the tornado, but here is a very scary video...I watched this live on Saturday afternoon on WSBHD, Channel 2.

More Politics Crack for the addicts out there...

Tonight is the Mississippi Primary results...may not be a long night b/c McCain has things locked up, and the African-American population of that state is so high that Obama may have it fairly locked up already. In any event, I need my campaign fix, and my fix of Wolf Blitzer drawing out the results as long as he can. In any event, the polls close at 8 PM EDT. After this the next democratic (and republican) primaries aren't until Pennsylvania on April 22. The next Republican caucus (which no longer matters) is Puerto Rico on April 5. The race between Obama & Clinton is so interesting even though I am not even a democrat! Thank god for CNNHD.

Snow somewhat of a bust and basketball

We did get some snow on Saturday, not nearly as much as Columbus, who got 20" or Cincinnati, which got 10"+, but still snow nonetheless. However it did not stick to anything, and there was no traffic problems. Alabama got accumulating snow, but it quickly melted. Jackson got some real snow, and Memphis got 6"+. Now it's back to the 60's (hopefully for good), and some sun.

The ACC tournament also starts this weekend. We play Georgia Tech on Thursday night at 7PM EDT (thank you Daylight Savings) on ESPN2HD. We then HOPEFULLY play Duke on Friday night.

Finally, Saturday Night Live has been hilarious lately with its parodies of the Election, esp. this week with the "3 AM Call".

More snow for Atlanta, yet again???

It's snowed (and stuck here) three times...the Thursday & Saturday in January, and then last week after the strong storms (and the 25' long tree branch that fell on our roof).

Now it's looking more and more likely that snow could arrive tomorrow morning, maybe around 6 AM, with the best chance of snow showers from 9-noon. Here's the deal:

Right now many Dallas metroplex schools, including Carroll ISD in Southlake, are under 2 hour delays. Temperatures are below freezing NW of this line, including western Dallas & Dallas County, and all of Tarrant County (Fort Worth).

In Louisiana and SE Texas, snow can be expected down to a line near I-10 with possible snow showers as far south as Lake Charles, Louisiana.

In Mississippi, 1-2" of snow is expected for Jackson.

In Alabama, so far there is a Winter Storm Watch within 74 miles of my house in Atlanta...that is in Cherokee County, Alabama (Centre, Alabama). About 1" of snow is expected there.

In Georgia, there are Winter Storm Watches posted as close as 64 miles away in Gilmer County. The best chance of snow is north of this line. We shall see!

Finally, an episode of "When Weather Changed History" about the 1927 Louisiana flood is on Sunday at 9 PM. Should be very interesting.

UPDATE: A heavy snow warning has been issued for Cherokee County, Alabama and points west. In addition, a Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for the majority of Alabama all the way down to Barbour County, Alabama (and points west), which is merely 50 miles from the Florida line. No weather update for Georgia as of yet.
