I'm 57. Don't remember them all.

I remember 83? Helped teachers out of the ditch. We lived in front of the school. Helped push them up the small hill to get home. They were swerving and ending up in the ditch in front of the house. Earned some good will with some teachers that day.

1993? Big snow event. Was married to my first wife. Left my rental and walked around 5 miles to help my grandparents get a tree cut off roof and tarp it. Knee deep snow.

1996. Ice storm. I worked for the Fire Department. Was on duty for 72+ hours. Left every bit of fire supply hose on the ground for 4 engines. It froze to the ground on each fire. We had a fire bug in Fairfield staring house fires. I think we fought 7 fires that day. Wasn't sad to see the little fugger arrested and sent to Juvi. I was released and sent home. Spun 360 in homewood on 65S on the way home. Homewood police rookie pulled me over being an ass. I chewed his ass all the way back to the patrol car and slammed his door on him. His partner laughing the entire time. Apparently he put him up to it. I'd be he never repeated that mistake again.

2014. First snow event I was at home for. Family trapped in different areas of Hoover. Had enough friends get together to get them in the same place and secure after 24 hours. I was trapped at home. Tried to leave twice. 1st time I went horizontal and staired at the sky for a minute. Second time it took 5 minuutes before I got up and went in the house to stay.

What ya'll got? I like winter weather better now than in the past. But still don't give a damn for it.

March 93. I was at Jax St. Coach Abbott didn’t let up on us. We thought we’d get a few days off. Lol

93 was a once in a lifetime snow. I grew up near Florence.

I also remember an ice storm. Can’t remember the year.

The ice storm was while I was at AU. Probably in 82 or 83. No power from downed power lines for a few days. It was a lot worse than a snowstorm.

In the 93 snow I was dating my now wife and was at her parent's house and needed to get home to my house in the country so I literally drove home in 4H and judged where the road was by staying in the middle of the fence and/or tree lines.

Lived in Troy and remember fishing with my grandparents and by dark it was all frozen. I was 3 so maybe some crossed details.

We had one up here about '86 that was just as bad as '93. The one in '93 happened on a Friday and was melted by Tuesday . The earlier one stayed on a week or more.

The 93 snow was in March as I recall. Much later than it is supposed to be in AL.

93 pissed me off. Spent 3.5 years at Montevallo and don't think it ever snowed. Graduated in December, moved back to Mobile. Tried to get back up there to see my girlfriend and didn't make it very far.

Did the football team still come to the home games up behind home plate (up on the hill) and have a keg party at many home games?
We (several dozen on football team) started that in the spring of ‘87, and LOVED rooting for y’all up there!

Not surprised no one has mentioned January 2011. It gets overshadowed, rightfully so, by April 2011.

It was no 93 but schools were closed around here for a week. Roads were rough.
