A potent March snowstorm blanketed much of Alabama with up to 4 inches of snow Sunday, covering Civil War statues and forcing the cancellation of hundreds of church services.
The storm headed toward the Northeast and threatened to drop up to a foot of snow in the Philadelphia area, 13 inches in New York and 15 inches across southern New England late Sunday.
In Georgia, the snowfall made roads treacherous and delayed flights, while in Alabama, more than 210 churches in the central part of the Bible Belt state had to cancel morning services.
Vonda Braswell of Alabaster, Ala. was throwing snowballs in her front yard instead of putting on her Sunday best. ''I think you can worship in this it's so rare,'' she said.
... The unusual weather prompted Jessi Prahl and Max DiPace to take their dog, Cooper, on a walk through snow-covered Piedmont Park in Atlanta.
''You know us Southerners, we all freak out when it snows,'' said Prahl, 26.
...Georgia transportation officials warned of potential icy buildup on roadways in middle and north temperatures plummet overnightern counties through Monday morning, especially as.
The late Southern snowfall revived memories of a large storm in 1993 that forecasters nicknamed the ''Snowfall of the Century,'' affecting the region from Alabama to north of Washington, D.C., said Laura Griffith of the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, Ga. In that storm, Atlanta received 4.2 inches of snow and 13 inches fell on Birmingham.
Outside the CNN Center in downtown Atlanta, Flori Kwon of Claremont, Calif., took pictures of her son Jake, 5, cavorting in the snow.
''He wants to make a snowman but I don't think there's enough,'' Kwon said while large snowflakes landed in her hair. ''We're kind of surprised it's snowing.''
- THERE IS NO LONGER ANY GLOBAL WARMING.
- WE ARE NOW IN A COOLING PHASE. HAVE BEEN SINCE 1998.
- SUCH EBBS AND FLOWS ARE NATURAL - ALWAYS HAVE BEEN.
- AGW ALARMISTS SHOULD STFU.
- AND OBAMA SHOULD RESCIND ALL CARBON SCAMS ER UM I MEAN SCHEMES.
- ALL THEY'LL ACCOMPLISH IS FURTHER "COOLING" THE ECONOMY.
