If by snow you mean the 4 ft drifts that will be in my driveway by late December, then yes.

yes usually very little though. lasts like a day or two before it's all washed away by the rain.

Maybe once every two years we'll get some flurries that stick for a few hours....but other than that there aren't a lot of snowstorms in Central Mississippi ;)

Maybe 1 or 2 days a year. Some years we might get a little more, some years (like last year) not at all.

It's hilarious when we do get snow though because it literally shuts down the entire city. Just a dusting can cause schools and businesses to close. Even funnier is that for about 2 months out of the year, overnight low temperatures will hover just above freezing, so weathermen will go just about nuts trying to predict whether it might snow or not. Usually they're wrong, but the tire shops don't mind ;)
People who live in the lowland valleys of Westen Oregon and Washington and use studded snow tires really piss me off though... :frown:

Sounds about like Nashville. It generally snows a couple times a year, but this past year we got snowed on about 4 times. Most schools were out for 6+ days and so were a lot of businesses.

I can't complain though, it's nice having out a few days during the week :D
