Good morning from the Panhandle of Florida Mnt & Foothill Peeps, we ended the event with 7.75” of snow & some drifts upwards of 16”. It’s currently 16 degrees. This has truly been a historic storm down this way. Records have been shattered from Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle. Thank you for letting me share my excitement in your thread!!!

In Addition to the snow, temperatures this morning across this snowpack have fallen to “all-time” records many of which were held from 1899. The numbers listed below are preliminary and subject to change when full data sets are examined.

Don, I have a special place in my heart for the Gulf Coast. I was stationed at NAS Pensacola, and spent some time at the NCBC Gulfport and New Orleans. Great people, great region! I could not be happier for you folks.

One of my best friends (now retired) was a flight surgeon and spent a good bit of time at NAS Pensacola. We will always have a piece of the Mnts in our hearts but we love living here. Thank you all for the kind words and letting me share my out of place posts in your thread!

Was 10 hear this morning.  We got up to 32 yesterday and I went out in short sleeves.

You get your water unfrozen? We're still not there yet.

Yeah it finally let lose around 2 yesterday.  Dang I hope yall get it unthawed. I drained my pipes whenever I found out it was freezing up and I think that helped.

I drained everything that was still liquid from my filter to the house but below the filter to the well is about 40ft that is half above ground and half below. No clue where it's froze at. Never had it frozen this long before.

Oh wow so it froze before the filter coming into the house. Yeah I wonder if it froze at the well head?

Got it back.

It had froze at the well but I got that took care of right off. Froze at the cutoff to the house (buried but one accessible spot) but I thawed that with a hair dryer. Ran heat tape down the upper end and stuck a heater on the lower end under the house and it finally turned loose.
