What a Difference!

Unseasonably mild weather continues across Alabama this afternoon, but at this same time in 1982, a crippling ice storm was well underway across Central Alabama. In the Birmingham Metro area, people were caught at work and by early afternoon, numerous automobiles were being abandoned as people stalled and slid on the ice. Many persons got out and tried to walk home.

It was one of our worst ice storms ever.

Amazingly, we have received some emails recently from people who rather have the ice than this mild weather!

I am really hoping we do get a snow. Don't like the ice idea at all.
