The L.A. snow storm of March 2008
major snow event here in L.A. (lower Arkansas) is as rare as hair on frogs. March 7, 2008, there must have been some hairy frogs somewhere because a major snow event materialized. These pictures were shot in Pine Bluff, Arkansas during the storm. A major snow event in these environs is generally anything over two inches. Elsewhere in this nation, nary an eyebrow is raised at a mere two inches of snow, but here it's a big deal. Turns out, the total was seven inches in about eight hours or so. Rare indeed. Probably 10 or more years will tick off the clock before the next occurence of this magnitude.

This Conrail locomotive sallies forth on Union Pacific rails under, one would presume, some sort of interline agreement, since this is not Conrail country. The engineer waved and seemed pleased to be shot.
Looking across the fairway at Harbor Oaks Golf Club. Duffers were home watching the tube today.
To whom? Traffic is light today.
More fairway trees. No golfers. No dogs. Lots of white stuff.
Fishing pier in the Pine Bluff Jefferson County Regional Park. The fish caught a break today.
