Film at Eleven

A freak August snowstorm blanketed Empire Alabama today. CNN Reporters contacted Rick Watson, an author and fellow journalist in Empire to get the scoop on the breaking story he'd reported.

Watson says he was amazed. One moment he was weed eating and sweating like a politician under oath and the next moment a cool Canadian breeze swept through with low-hanging clouds that dumped several inches of snow in the area.

CNN dispatched local crews to the area, but by the time they arrived on the scene, the sun was back out, and it was hotter than a livid Lucifer.

All the snow had melted leaving a few residents scratching their heads.  

Watson pointed to a moist area at the edge of his chicken pen and said we had a snowman right there.

Reporters left the scene mumbling that Watson must have been hit on the head or sampling the wacky tobaccy that grows wild in the area.

Film at eleven.

  5. Looking at your photo just dropped the temps up here a dozen degrees! Ha! You are a funny guy! The Farmer's Almanac is predicting a bad Winter for us so maybe some white stuff just might hit below the belt and make it to your home! Now go have some hot cocoa and warm up!
