Winter storm

Help Support CattleToday:

When visiting Pensacola, be sure to eat at The Fish House. But not today. Closed due to the weather.

Or Founders Chowder House. Order the key lime pie and you get 3 pieces stacked on top of each other. Good, but not healthy.

They ain't set up for snow now there. Paper mill is probably froze up and shut down.
The fresh seafood and key lime pie makes me remember trips to Florida as a child. Never was in Pensacola, but two cousins went to Bible college there.
Had an aunt an uncle that had a condominium in Fort Myers, FL.
While visiting them we'd go get shrimp fresh from the boats, and get tomatoes and strawberries from u pick farms. Went to an orange grove too.
Once we went down to the Everglades and rode a fan boat. Afterwards we ate a restaurant close by. First time I'd ever eaten crab.
On another trip we stayed in central Florida part of the time, lot of produce grown there and went to a stockyards in Webster FL.
It's been 30 years since I've been to Florida, would love to go back and actually live there but from what I understand it's so built up now it's probably not the same. It was getting pretty developed even back then.
 
I'm not surprised to see North Florida and Southern Alabama get snow. Houston got some and Mobile, PCola and Tallahassee are all North of Houston.

Where did you find that map? Or is that your straight line?:LOL:
Was going to say, and for what it's worth, a quick check say's latitude of Pensacola is 30.4213. Latitude of Houston is 29.7601. Houston is farther south than Pensacola. So I guess the map allows for the curvature of the earth.
 
My straight line. But, the wind, precipitation and cold fronts don't give a crap about latitude lines on a US map (within reason anyway).

(I don't remember now, if it was a Thanksgiving or Christmas that I thought I wuz gonna freeze my nutsak off on an offshore platform in the Gulf of America. Nice and warm when we packed and left on a PHI bird out of Lafayette but next morning we woke up on the rig and temp was just above freezing and a hard N wind was whipping up whitecaps and salty mist 100 miles out in the Gulf. Late 80s-early 90s... )
 
That didn't work so they went to climate change. Back in the 60's they were saying there was an ice age coming
And they were right; it was just really short. Thankfully there was some overlapping with global warming so it wasn't nearly as bad as predicted.
