did hell freeze over?

Nope, it's just the snow in Mississippi!!!

Seriously, it only snows here once every few years or so (if that), and so it becomes major news for us Southerners... I can remember being a little kid and, if it snowed, the ENTIRE day was devoted to playing outside in the snow. Yep, day-long recess. All because it snowed. How sad is that? It's just such a rarity that we have to take full advantage of it! (at least it happened over the weekend and was pretty much gone by the next day -- so we got to enjoy the novelty of it without having to deal with the potentially ugly aftermath that would surely ensure if you keep Mississippians around snow for too terribly long!)
