I remember the New Years Eve storm in Huntsville (1963-1964): http://www.srh.noaa.gov/hun/?n=hunsurold_newyears19631964snow

Most folks look at me sideways when I tell them of 17 inches of snow in Alabama (overnight). We all got bikes for Christmas that year and had to wait a couple of weeks to use them ;’)

I was at MS State then. We got about that a few years earlier in my hometown in MS. I do not remember the date but we had gone out of town for a girls basketball game. We knew it was snowing but we were amazed when we came out of the gym. We had to go up a hill to get to the road my house was on. Everyone but the driver had to get out and push to get up the hill. This was in the late 50’s when we had to wear dresses or skirts and blouses. Precious memories.

I remember being stuck in "Day's Gap" (between Cullman and Decatur/Hartselle) late that night on old Highway 31 (now it's I-65) behind a big 18-wheeler who started slipping backward and scaring the living crap out of me...we finally made it to the top of the hill.

I spent the rest of that night at the truck-stop at the top of that hill. (with access to electricity, gas, food and COFFEE!) All the way up that incline I kept worrying about the truck sliding back on me (in my Corvair) and sliding into the gap.
