NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Snow is falling in the New Orleans area.

The National Weather Service says a mixture of sleet and snow is falling Thursday morning from Baton Rouge east across much of southeastern Louisiana.

The winter weather closed some schools and created hazardous driving conditions.

Beam me to Planet Gore !

[2banana]

Did Al Gore just visit New Orleans?

[neodad]

The ghost of Rove past.

[Travis T. OJustice]

Bush’s fault.

[Enosh]

From the local news coverage, Houston appears to be one big fender bender.

What is this white stuff, anyway?

[TornadoAlley3]

Snow on the bayou

[LiberConservative]

One last test of the infamous W Weather Machine ...

[Slainte]

Yep. I’m sure Bush had Dick Cheney tweak the hurricane machine in order to inflict more suffering on New Orleans.

[tatsinfla]

now i am in trouble after saying when hell freezes over....

[mnehring]

San Antonio had snow yesterday as well. Damn global warming.

[janetjanet998]

very heavy snow now in NOLA over an inch per hout at times

[blam]

Where’s FEMA...send money.

[capt. norm]

Gore and Obama sure picked the right time to make their joint global warming pitch.

They're about to get a cold weather/snow event on the West coast this weekend.

Gore's credibility is going to take a "stock market crash dive" when reality (again) proves him wrong.

Arctic blast headed our way to here in the pacific N/W....snow and wind this weekend.

[Melpomene]

It’s been falling for about an hour now. Enough to make slush!

[PurpleMan]

I was there in ‘90 when it snowed around Christmas. I was down in the Vieux Carrie but got across the GNO to the Westback before noon.

From then on the traffic was at a standstill. It took many 6-hours to get across. A nightmare.

[Mercat]

I remember snow in Houston in late 50s, early 60s. The whole city shut down.

[Melpomene]

I almost posted a vanity thread: Hell has frozen over! New Orleans ousted Dollar Bill Jefferson and now it’s snowing!

[Servant of the Cross]

Great balls of fire!

[TheBattman]

Darned Global Warming - it’s going to freeze us to death!!!!

[ClearBlueSky]

Heavy, wet snow in Metairie. Everything is white- it’s sticking to everything but the wet sidewalk. Stunningly beautiful-makes even the swamp beautiful.
Ahhhhh, this is magic, a Christmas gift that is also going up to north Alabama where a child I love more than anything will be thrilled to see it. If only I were with her.

The last time it snowed in New Orleans it was CHRISTMAS DAY 2004! Million to one odds on that- of course we got the flip side of those odds with Katrina the following year.
Lets hope this miraculous snowfall portends wonderful things. But for today- it’s magic, like a dream- and I’m taking my little Maltepoo outside to enjoy it in his sweater. He’s named after a snowman, after all...where’s the camera..

[ReformedBeckite]

I wonder if any one will be selling snowballs from New Orleans on ebay.

[Grampa Dave]

Damn Gorebull warming has gone up a notch since gas prices fell to such crazy lows.

[ClearBlueSky]

I’m making some from my freezer right now!
What am I bid????
Crawfish snowman , extra $$.

[Hoodlum91]

I’d like some here.

IMO, it should snow before and around Christmas - then it can go away until next Christmas.

[KarlInOhio]

Just a side effect of Cheney disconnecting the Weather Control Machine to move it into hiding in Wyoming before January 20.

[CindyDawg]

How cool. Yall stay home and enjoy.

[TornadoAlley3]

Enjoy it!

[Sammy67]

Snowing in Houston Texas as well. Here in Watertown N.Y. we were at (minus) -16 degrees Sunday night, and that was NOT the wind chill!

[gracesdad]

Wonderful!!! My parents live in Thibodaux.

[CindyDawg]

I had snow balls saved in the freezer from that White Christmas South Texas had a few years ago. Last year the freezer went out and they melted. I was more upset about my snow than the meat I lost :’)

[CindyDawg]

Yikes. I set my own work schedule. It was 45 here yesterday and I stayed home. Too cold!

[SnakeDoctor]

Snow fell in Houston all day yesterday.

[JoanneSD]

I was thinking the same things... FEMA will have to put heaters in the trailers now, and then provide a space heater for every one in New Orleans... all Bushs fault of course.. he did not for see this coming, as he took Gores word for global warming..

Don’t worry. FEMA is on the way with prepaid cards to help New Orleanians get through this crisis.

[gracesdad]

Coooool!!!!

[ChessExpert]

Is there a global warming conference in session in New Orleans? Perhaps one is scheduled for next week and will have to be cancelled due to inclement weather.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

White stuff falling in the Chocolate City?

[Travis T. OJustice]

Don’t worry. FEMA is on the way with prepaid cards to help New Orleanians get through this crisis.

Lobster, leather jacket and plasma TV sales set to go through the roof!

[JRios1968]

You beat me to it!

[TornadoAlley3]

yes and it's Baton Rouge's snowiest day since 1988:)

[Roux]

It’s beautiful in Baton Rouge. I’m the only one in my group that made it in to work. They closed I-12 for a while and the schools all closed.

As of 9:30am it’s changed from snow to rain.

Cool day though. Let it snow...

[AU72]

It looks more like the Rove Weather Machine needs some calibration.

[JenB987]

That’s too bad.

I was really hoping the “predictions” that PA was going to start feeling like FL in the next 10 years were right...

[sazerac]

The snow is about an inch. But it melts on the street. Big fluffy snow flakes. Can’t drive.

All the locals say they can’t stop giggling.

Snow is so beautiful!

sazerac in the French Quarter

[GitmoSailor]

It didn’t snow in Phoenix today!!!!!...

[alloysteel]

This is just the back side of “global warming”.

Things change. Get used to it.

Now it shall turn out that Narlins has no snow removal equipment.

Or they could put snow plows on all the school buses.

Oh, that’s right. They all got drowned a few years ago, and nobody got around to replacing them.
