Not many on TV are talking about minor drifting. My northeast facing garage door might have a bit of a buildup. I’m ready. Have my Cajun snow shovel.
We are getting a pretty good accumulation of snow here in Lafayette at 4:30 am Jan 21.. I 10 is closed from Lafayette to baton rouge. All but FEDEX and UPS incoming flights to KLFT are cancelled until late this afternoon. Same for departing.
Garage doors will freeze shut
Since we're talking about a snow disasters, how about the local coverage from 3 and 10....these people actually get paid to be this bad...I'm waiting for one of the katc reporters to stick their tongue to a frozen pole...
The last time it snowed this much UL didn't exist.

Dumbest thing I have ever done. 1996 or so there was a major ice storm in Louisiana and Texas. I was living in Lufkin but was back home in the berry visiting when the storm hit. I was new to the workforce and convinced I needed to get back to Lufkin for work. So I drove back in a 2WD Ranger with worn out tires. It wasn’t terrible until I left Jasper. HWY 63 from Jasper to Lufkin was a sheet of ice. I spun out and off the road more times than I could count. Luckily I was able to ease back on and get to Lufkin. I think the normally 4 hour drive took me 7.
And a 4WD definitely would have helped, I was passed by many.
So dumb. No cell phone, nothing.
Temperature was 3 this AM before sunrise in da berry…lol.
