So, technically, I saw some snow flurries in Knoxville, New Years Day, 1999.  I had never seen snow in my life.  There were quite a few flurries, but no snow on the ground.  One month later, I saw snow on the ground in Chicago...but I had yet to see "real" snow falling...and never got to play in it.  Well, I finally did, and it only took 26 years.  What they are referrring to as "Winter Storm 2000" was a 3-5 inch snow storm we got here in Tuscaloosa, Alabama on January 27, 2000.  Around 10:40 PM, I looked out my window, and the cars in my parking lot where all white with snow, as many small flurries fell from the sky.   I wasn't the only person outside in the streets looking at it...
  This is the first picture taken, before the snow started really coming down.  At this time, I thought this was a lot of snow!  It wasn't till later that I saw, SNOW!
  My 9 year old Floridian car, has never had snow on it before.  I thought that this was a lot of snow...man was I wrong.  About 20 minutes later I took a drive to a friends house, and there was zero visibility out my back window and my hood was covered in snow...it was really starting to come down around 11 PM.
  By the time I got to Marlene's house, it was really coming down.  Her entire yard was white, every roof in her neighborhood was white...the trees were covered in snow, as was my car!  Some huge snow flakes were falling!
  Marlene taught me how to make a snow angel.  There really wasn't enough to make a snow man, but I made some pretty heavy snow balls!
  Yes, I'm eating that particular snow ball!

Uh, this one, is pretty self explainitory. 

    It was supposed to snow on through Friday, but when I woke up the next morning, it was raining, and the snow was gone.  And we don't think it'll be coming back this winter.  I'm glad I got up and saw it, and didn't sleep through it.  I'm glad Marlene let me slide around her yard in the middle of the night like a MORON, and pounce her with snow balls...heck, I'm just glad I finally got so see, and touch real snow.
