Local say they're looking forward to the possibility.
(SPANISH FORT, Ala.) Dec. 4 - It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and it sure would be nice to have some snow to go with the season, wouldn't it?
"Well, I've never had the chance to hunt in the snow," Tim Williams said. "But hopefully, I can so I can track that deer!"
That's right! It's time for that annual flurry watch that usually fizzles out before it reaches Mobile. But this time, we believe, just north of Mobile, we will see some of the white stuff.
When I was a kid in Kentucky, snow was a reason to pull out the sled. We all had one. But in 22 years of living here in South Alabama, I've never seen one. I'm was sure they would have one at Bass Pro Shop in Spanish Fort. I found plenty of snow clothes but no sled.
Living south of Citronelle, I probably won't see more than a flurry. We seldom do. It's for that reason that snow is such a big deal for us.
The Eubanks family from Lucedale, Miss., might see enough to make an impression on their 2-week-old daughter except there's a good chance she'll just sleep right though it.
"When was the last time you saw snow?" I asked Michelle Eubanks. "It was several years ago," she said. "But there wasn't enough to play in!"
But there is a contingent of people here on the coast who have had their fill of winter's wonderland. Pat Searle is a transplant from Michigan. "Yeah, and I'm gonna stay off the road because people don't know how to drive on 'em."
So get out your shovels and plows, people. Snows a'comin! Somewhere.
