Joe,

JM>  WV was in a state of emergency and everything was shut down.  Officials
JM>asking citizens to loan them 4x4's, etc.

  Arkansas gets that way if we get an inch of snow. Not one bit of
bread, milk, beer, or toilet paper, is left in the stores.

JM>  Here in downtown was a deadly quiet.  Not a sound.  There were mounds
JM>here and there with a car underneath.

  That's what I remember most about a good snow storm...it's dead quiet.

JM>  We got about two feet and being mid March by the next weekend all that
JM>remained were piles that had been plowed here and there.

  If Arkansas had that, they wouldn't move for a month.

JM>  When I was in the Navy in Norfolk, VA I knew a guy from FL who had never
JM>seen snow.  We had a big snow one day, about an inch (that shut down the
JM>town) and he was like a kid out playing in it.  :)

  When snow fell in Miami and Homestead for the first time in on Jan.
19, 1977, folks went nuts...especially the kids. Snow didn't stick in
Miami or Carol City, but it was observed. Just north of Miami in Carol
City, 3 inches fell.

  The worst part was that much of the state citrus crop that year
(oranges, grapefruit, etc.) was wiped out...and you can imagine what it
did to the prices. Can you say "Florida Oranges From California??" <G>.

JM>  We are a little hardier here, it takes almost three inches to shut this
JM>town down.  :)

  More like 3/10 of an inch in Little Rock. :P

Daryl
