. . . in New Orleans of all places. So much for Mr. Gore and his global warming, I suppose.

The times snow has been sighted here in my lifetime:
January 1964
January 1973
Dec. 1983 or Jan. of 1984
December 1989 (three days before Xmas -- and the stuff stayed on the ground for three days, because the air temp never rose above freezing)
Christmas Day 2004

So it's never been this early, even this wet stuff. It's accumulating on the grass, though.

I'm telling all the locals who are prone to panic that the world is not ending, that this white stuff falls frequently on Planet Earth. (I'm not sure they believe me, though.)
