Wheeeeeeee

Despite temps well below freezing today, the kiddos in my neighborhood had fun at Triangle Park.  Not much of a hill but if you get a big push from Dad, you would make it all the way down!

Meanwhile our interstates and roads are still impossibly clogged with stalled/wrecked/abandoned cars and with the expectation of low temperatures again tonight, the refreezing will make it even more difficult. The good news is that many people have gotten home or at least to a warm place and most, but not all of the teachers and students that spent last night in their schools, have been able to go home.

Snow Joke!

Heard the news today??? It snowed in Birmingham!!!  Well in one yard anyway.  I must be the luckiest blogger in the world. I am driving through my neighborhood this morning and low and behold there's a veritable blizzard blowing through this yard!!!  Screeech.  Pulled over, grabbed the camera and snapped away.  A very enterprising neighbor had rigged up his homemade snow machine again this year.  Since the temps have hovered in the 60-70'sF for weeks, no go on the snow. But aaahhh, today was a nice frosty morning, just perfect for snow making foolishness.  The top photo is his side yard in the process of becoming a Birmingham phenomenon.  Late this afternoon, I passed and a neighbor's grandchildren were sledding,  and I was recruited to photograph.  Oh, twist my arm !!!  I risked life and a limb trying to capture their fun as they plummeted down his very steep hill on sleds into bales of pinestraw at the bottom!
