This is the Winter Wonderland just outside HenagarWhen you live in Alabama, nothing can shut down the world quicker than a little snow. It doesn't take much, just about an inch or two and everything is closed. And that is just about what we got here on Sand Mountain yesterday, an inch or two. The day started early, about 1:30am so we could get to Rainsville and meet up with the Sat truck for morning show coverage of the snow. Our show started 2 hours early at 3am, and we were on until 8am. There are times in this life when you just can't have enough clothes on and yesterday was one of those days. Three and four layers just wasn't enough and I don't think my toes thawed out until about noon today.
And if snow and ice aren't enough for one days work, we finished with the morning show and just as we were working on our "Kids Out of School and Playing In the Snow" story comes word of a church fire in Cherokee County to our east. No snowball fights for us, it's back to the real world of breaking news. Maybe next time....
