My buddy in Mobile texted me today and told me just like your wife they got 6 inches of the good stuff today ...
That’s an incredibly difficult drive in winter weather conditions. I drove from Memphis to Jackson for a residency interview and I was the only one that made it in and I remember I almost slid off the road on I 55 at one point somewhere near GrenadaDrove down to Mardi Gras from Memphis in 1988. It's snowed the whole way there.
It was bizarre seeing snow falling on Lake Pontchartrain, completely surreal first time it snowed in 12 years, the next year, it was 73 and perfect.
Go figure ...
