Snow in Alabama

On January 17th it snowed about three inches.  Not exactly noteworthy for much of the northern hemisphere in January but a rare event in central Alabama.  Remarkably, so far in 2013 the Birmingham metro area has had more snow than Chicago!  I am sure this will change soon.  As expected, even though there was little accumulation due to above-freezing temperatures, the city shut down with some long delays on the interstates in the north of the state.

The morning after.  A New Englander would probably claim to have had a worse case of dandruff.
