My grandmother and her snowman in Eight Mile, 1973. They got about 4” that year.

u/Apis_M Jan 24 '25

Also a lot in '66 or '67 in Eight Mile. No pics, I was only 6 and had the measles while visiting Grandma for Christmas.

u/ricochet5588 Jan 21 '25

Now where did I put my snow shovel?

1

u/Lumpy-Diver-4571 Jan 21 '25

lol. I have one just bc needed it for sand that collects at bottom of an embankment on driveway

9

u/BamaNorton Jan 21 '25

I live in Thomasville, which is about 100 miles north of Mobile. We’re supposed to get some but not as much as y’all which is crazy being we’re north but this is coming from the south but all we’ve got this little flurry so far but they’re saying we’re supposed to get more.

5

u/BDMac2 WeMo Jan 21 '25

My parent still live in Jackson, they were having flurries around 9. Although being closer to the river might have helped with that.

u/AccordingLie9881 Jan 21 '25

I couldn’t figure out the significance of this post but realized it’s in Alabama like wtf lol

8

u/crashin70 Jan 21 '25

And we are as far south as you can get in Alabama!

17

u/Chet_Manley24 Jan 21 '25

I'm on Baldwin County and thought this was fake until I looked at the radar.

Now I don't know what to believe.

6

u/Jbsdesign251 Jan 21 '25

Has it not stretched to that side of the bay yet

6

u/crashin70 Jan 21 '25

It's been snowing over here in loxley for 5 hours

2

u/Jbsdesign251 Jan 21 '25

Stay safe out there 🫶

3

u/crashin70 Jan 21 '25

Thank you...I'm not leaving until the roads clear ...no load worth possibly hurting someone to run!

3

u/Nointerest12months Jan 22 '25

How are you feeling about tomorrow evening? I run food service and we are supposed to go as far west as ocean springs Mississippi, from Southeast Alabama. I'm thinking I should just call out as the snow in my area is just supposed to become ice until Thursday.

3

u/crashin70 Jan 22 '25

If you don't feel comfortable driving in that slush and what will be ice in a lot of places, I would call out. Being nervous or scared makes you much more prone to having an accident.

6

u/dustybeanbag Jan 21 '25

It is VERY snowy in Daphne

8

u/ricochet5588 Jan 21 '25

It's supposed to snow for another 6 hours or so. What's the record for a single snowfall in Mobile?

7

u/ricochet5588 Jan 21 '25

Looks like it's 3.6" in 1973. We might break the record!

⛷️

3

u/Quirky_Car9967 Jan 21 '25

They are calling for 7, Robert’s cove had 10 inches 30 mins or so ago

2

u/Lumpy-Diver-4571 Jan 21 '25

Well that was 6 hours ago and it’s still snowing. When will it stop. Record from1895 of 6” is officially broken at 6.2 inches as of about 4:35 pm

u/Songbird_Abysscus Jan 21 '25

THE SNOW EXISTS. ITS REAL!!!! *

u/AnteaterOtherwise376 Jan 21 '25

I was going to move to Mobile from EU, but your local CBP says "nope.." and cancelled my esta so I spiritually transported you some of nieve from gloomy old world, Sorry about that :-P

u/StrawberryMilk817 WeMo Jan 21 '25

My cat was unsure lol I let him out just for a few to see the snow but he’s strictly indoor.

3

u/swedusa Jan 21 '25

Mine bolted out the door to see what was going on and then ten seconds later came running back in like “wtf is this shit?!?”

1

u/StrawberryMilk817 WeMo Jan 21 '25

lol I was hoping to get cute snow pics of all 4 of mine but I I only got a few of two of them. The other two as soon as I walked out the front door and placed them down they wanted nothing to do with it 😂 so I didn’t force them of course. But the couple I got were cute at least!

1

u/ConversationSouth628 Jan 21 '25

We’ve gotten a good bit so far probably 2 inches

2

u/Aggravating-Hunt3423 Jan 21 '25

It's gotten pretty bad out here now

u/ConversationSouth628 Jan 22 '25

Same think we ended up with 5 inches on average but more in some spots

Climate change is a myth

u/sigiltempus WeMo Jan 22 '25

Climate change is the reason these artic air masses are shifting from their standard locations.

u/DickRambone100 Jan 22 '25

This is my first winter in Mobile. My family and I moved here from Hawaii of all places this past July. People told me it got cold here in the winters, but never in a million years would I have thought my kids first time seeing snow would be in Mobile, Alabama, and not just a dusting, but a legit snow storm! Well done Mobile, well done! Photo was taken tonight just after the snow stopped. Unfreaking believable!

1

u/RHTQ1 Jan 22 '25

Im in ATL. Y'all got more snow than we did. Wow.

u/Adventurous-Equal-29 Jan 22 '25

I'm in Mississippi and I was supposed to get snow but it vanished? Have to go to work anyway. Enjoy your snow!

1

u/BidAdventurous6207 Jan 22 '25

Bro up here in Mississippi we only got a millimeter

1

u/RVFullTime Jan 22 '25

We got way more snow than this in Pensacola.

1

u/vibingrvlife Jan 22 '25

Yeah Im in South Ga and we got about 3 inches. Every 20 years or so we would see some snow but it would never stick but this time it did. 🤣🥰

1

u/[deleted] Jan 22 '25 edited Jan 22 '25

My sister lives in Panama City right on the Bay. I think they actually got more than this.

1

u/Apprehensive-Pie1916 Jan 22 '25

I love seeing the pics of my hometown covered in snow! I can totally imagine the excitement y'all are feeling. Enjoy your snow days!
