Since apparently the SOS in Louisiana hasn't bothered with Blue Sky yet (or my google fu is failing me...) I felt it important to share this.

The image is pretty self explanatory but Louisiana is moving towards partisan elections and primaries and there are changes to the independent designation.

I love that we're just far enough South where the city shuts down when it snows but far enough North to actually get snow a few times a year. This was taken last night and this morning. Just a couple inches, but still fun for us.

Hey y'all .... *eyeroll*

I made this earlier to answer this for myself. I got it from the advocate but I didn't like how they had it organized. In 2021 there was an ice storm that froze everything from Houston to New Orleans and more I'm sure. I didn't lose power but my parents did and refused to come stay with me 😂

I'm not there anymore either but I'll send you the ones I got this morning from BTR.

Y'all. This is basically the Gulf of Mexico. 20 minutes north of Port Fourchon. #Louisiana, I can't even imagine.

Not quite. First of all, shreveport snows nearly every other year. But even in South Louisiana ... we get snow on a regular basis. I put this together because I wanted to see the two cities compared.

Y'all ... Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I just can't. The last measurement I got sent was knocking on 4" and its not even peak fall rate there yet.

I thought leaving BTR for Nashville meant my friends would be jealous of the snow I'd get this year not the other way around :o

Be that as it may ... i think you'd be surprised to know just how far north the subtropical climate goes. Subtropical doesn't mean no snow lol

I will not reward a targeted FB ad by buying it ... I will not ... I will not .... but man.... its really fucking tempting.

Oh shit, I just realized ... I hope the cold next week doesn't cause significant issues with Louisiana crawfish this season :/

It was the only ruler I could find 🤣

S. Nashville, Bradford hills. Measured from the hood of a truck.

My first winter in Nashville!

Okay y'all. NWS is finally issuing warnings for middle TN. If the forecast pans out, this will be the first snow I will have ever been in over 3.5 inches. I'M SO EXCITED.

1st Christmas away from Louisiana and I'm Tennessee. Considering we were only 2 of us, I'm pretty okay w/ how it turned out. Had to modify spinach Madeline since he hates spinach and no oyster dressing for the same reason but overall, I'm pretty happy.

You can pretty much make louisiana statewide every year. There's no way the politicians in Baton Rouge will ever miss a chance to put unpopular amendments on the ballot. There are *some* years where there aren't any but very few....

Got an early Christmas present tonight. I'm so so so excited. Dunno how I never got one, but I'm happy I have him now. Still don't like that Mr. Bingle isn't a Maison Blanche property anymore but c'est la vie. #Louisiana #Christmas

Potluck tomorrow... So this happened. And because my coworkers have zero taste buds, I replaced the cayenne with paprika 😭

Unreal.....

Stolen from @thetennesean.bsky.social but I lost the link and can't be bothered to go find it

Especially with this right across the street. I mean, Sheetz isn't healthier but it certainly has better food at least.

UHM.

I just found Michael Damian's Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat soundtrack on YT and I haven't been so happy in so long. Somehow my brain remembered it as Tommy Tutone playing Joseph which explains why I could never find it before & don't come at me with Donny Osmond nonsense 😂

My Mom's New Orleans side ... Pitre/LoCicero/Ducoing/Miller, Dad is super Anglo so I don't typically include him lol

This update was really the first time I saw all of mom's bits accurately represented. 23&me is neat in its own way but Ancestry has finally caught up enough to be mostly accurate.

Since @MitchRabalais isn't on BS yet .... #HueyLong

47 wishes he was at good at corruption as Huey was.
