6+ inches of snow in Pensacola....how about you?

Today was absolutely bonkers. Started snowing heavily about 10am and didn't stop till around 9pm. Coming in sideways it was so windy. I mean a true NW blizzard. I have snow banks in the yard probably 2 ft deep. I was having WAZZU flashbacks. Most snow ever in history for Pensacola. I'm sure every tropical plant in my yard is dead. The dog hated it. Landscapers are going to make a KILLING in the spring around here…

Reminded me of why I promised myself when I left Washington to never again live in a place that snows every year. The snow was cool for a couple of hours…now it just s-ucks.

Anyone else get a blizzard today?

24 hour TO Yale……..

I've driven in all types of snow. In Illinois, wet snow, dry snow, ice on top of snow, snow on top of ice, you name it, I've probably driven it. That said, ice is the worst. One of the pictures I saw from South of Atlanta was a hillside street completely iced over.. People couldn't go uphill and some going downhill that slid into other cars. What a helpless feeling.

The worst snow I ever encountered was a snow storm in the Purgatory ski resort in Colorado, in March of 1980. They rceived six feet of snow. No exaggeration, six feet. We drove up from Durango the morning after and only made possible because I equipped my front wheel drive Fiat with studded snow chains.

Still, as the first car, traveling on the un-plowed road through three plus feet of snow it was quite an undertaking. Western snowstorms are a whole different animal.

Worst I ever saw was in the early 90's (might have been 89…) in Whidby Island in Washington. It was like a blizzard and a hurricane hit at the same time. I was on Christmas break from WAZZU at my parent's house. Dumped I don't know how many feet of snow, but the wind was so bad that hundreds of trees fell down blocking every road on and off the island and all power was lost to the island. @christopherules was there also I believe. Three days with no power, no heat, and no way to mainland. Couldn't even leave the house because of the road conditions. Brutal.

The worst storm I remember was March of ’93. N. ATL suburbs got up to 10” of snow. Mountains in TN and NC got close to 5 feet! It was a terrible blizzard all the way up the coast….the storm of the century. It started as rain on the Gulf coast, but they got up to around 3” in some places after it got cold. Had it been as cold as this one, they would have gotten massive amounts of snow.

I was on a work trip to Ft. Wayne during that time, but my wife of 5 months got snowed in with my mother for three days in our little 2-BR duplex on the east side of Athens.

I was living in Cobb County when that storm hit. I remember it thundering and lightning which was very strange for this GA boy. My wife at the time was 9 months pregnant with out first. We were on the edge of seats but the baby came 10 days later. The week after the snow storm and before the baby was born, I went out and bought a Jeep Cherokee 4x4.

In 1988 I made the crazy decision to leave my cozy corporate career in Atlanta and move to what I had decided was going to be the next big thing, Asheville NC. By March of 93 I was barely eking out an existance and living in a 100 year old farm house at the end of a dirt road just outside of town. I lost power the night of the storm and remember the temps getting below zero. Next day I had a 5' drift at the front door and could barely get out the back. Had to sleep in my waders and double up my down sleeping bags. A week later after everything thawed I tucked tail and headed down hill back to the ATL, Still have a lot of friends in Ashevegas but it's no longer where I'd like to call home.

I was living in Dublin, GA then. We got 18" that day. Dublin also came to a halt. My friends and I didn't; we road around in my friends CJ-7 and had one helluva good time.

I have two olive trees that I have kept covered during this week of frozen global warming. Hopefully they will make it. If not my wife will have me replanting.

We go got 7.6" of snow in Pensacola. I grew up on Isle of Hope, Georgia, just off Savannah. That was a weird event for our area. I have been in Pensacola, for 35 years, and have been a UGA fan for 60 years. We have been privileged to have many great players, come to UGA, and excel for many years. I remember when I had my 5 year old daughter's picture taken with Herschel . Those were special times, and we have had many special times in the last few years. Thanks to Vince Dooley, Mark Richt, Kirby Smart, and many great coaches. I have come to realize how good a quarterback, that Stetson Bennett was , and also Carson Beck , we had a few too many drops this season, but those things, are going to happen. I think Carson, made a great decision to go play for Miami, I hope he has great success. When you look back for the last few years, look at how many freshman, made major contributions , to the success of our team. My point in all this is, I believe we have a great team in the making, if our running backs finally get healthy , we have potentially great tight ends, wide receivers through the portal ,and Dillon Bell coming back, is a big plus, he is a great athlete. There will be competition at Quarterback, but I was impressed in the second half , of the SEC Championship game, by Gunner, that took guts, and talent, and I look forward to watch him progress, and be a great player, especially being a Georgia native. Bottom line ,I'm thinking we will be surprised, just how good our Dawgs will be in 2025!

PS: A BIG THANK YOU to Trevor Etiene!!
