Rather off topic, but I am doing a project for one of my communication classes here at Southeastern on a television personality. I picked James Spann and have been re-watching a lot of his videos on Youtube. A couple that caught my eye were the '93 superstorm ones. My question to yall is how many can remember what effects the storm had down here in SELA. I'm really curious.

I found this image from a BR tv station write up. As I recall we were just on the edge of the development.

Compared to the rest of the SE & Eastern US there was not much effects in SE LA because the storm deepened to the east of us. Other than some 60+mph wind gusts in Nola there was not much wx with it except for the snow across the north shore and very cold temps, for March standards, that followed the storm. I was working in downtown Nola late that night, at the Sheraton Hotel on Canal at an event. I remember hearing the windows shattering from the Marriott across the street, walking to my car that night in between the buildings was very challenging. I remember this poor guy with a Lucky Dogs cart trying to pull it fighting the winds.On my drive home to the westbank my little car was being pushed to the side by the strong winds on the bridge, big snow flakes started falling by the time I was getting home.

I was living in Montgomery, AL, in 1993. Officially, we had about 4 inches. At my house, we had between 5 and 6 inches. Here is a video, from Montgomery. Not mine, just off the internet.

That map that was posted doesn't show it at all, but it definitely snowed in Donaldsonville that time. I was growing up in Donaldsonville at the time and this was the first time I have more than just a vague memory of snowfall as a child. My very first memory was from 1989 but that's just a very vague memory (I was only 4). I remember sitting with my dad on his recliner in the living room watching the rain falling through the light given off by our porch light. I kept asking dad "when is it going to snow?" and I remember he looked at me, pointed at the rain falling, and told me to just keep watching the light. Then not even 5 minutes later the rain turned into massive snowflakes. I was so excited and we all ran outside to play in it. It was so slushy and icy (more sleet than snow). Still a good time!

It's that time with college football kicking off this weekend that I start to actively think about the first fronts slowly cooling our temps.....I can handle only a month or so....
I know everyone is looking at Gordon right now. But, what is up with next Monday-Wednesday? The Fox 8 weather app shows highs in the mid-80s. Is a front coming? Thank you.

Yep, weak front. We should start seeing these more often very soon
