Merry Christmas - New Orleans style
I spent over 13 years living in southern Louisiana but moved west nearly twenty year ago. For Christmas this year, my wife wanted to spend the holidays with family.
So, we headed to New Orleans...just in time to catch a winter storm. Imagine our surprise at having a white Christmas in the deep South!
Here are a few photos of a Christmas snowstorm (my first white Christmas in far far too long)...
The height of the storm:
A young palm tree regrets moving to New Orleans:
That same palm tree a few hours later...somebody turn up the heat!
Snowmen breed like cockroaches...first there was one:
Dad! They're multiplying! Get the hair dryer, quick!
Time passes, the threat increases..their numbers have doubled again and again...
A battles ensued....too violent to portray here...only the outcome can be shown:
With the South once again safe from the threat of snow, what else can I say except:
Thwack

It made some great memories for my kids though.
