And Here's Why the North is Laughing At Us

Here are the very helpful tips Brooke Smith (the Bachelor contestent-turned-traffic girl) had to offer to Alabamians driving in the snow today.

1. slow down
2. brake gently
3. use your low beams
4. exercise caution on bridges and overpasses
5. do not use your cruise control
6. leave plenty of distance between your car and the car in front of you

She was hard core about that cruise control.

Today reminded me of that Burger King commercial where they tell people they stopped serving the Whopper. "Today it snowed in Alabama. And do you know what happened? People freaked out."

Stephanie-Up North they have to go over the rules every year after the first snowfall. People forget how to drive on ice and snow.

And we aren't laughing at you......the high is 7 degrees today. It is too cold to laugh.

Yes, yes they did. And after they finished freaking out, they all went to the movies at the Summit. The line was long, and my fingers almost froze off!

7 degrees? You people need a winter home in B'ham!!

I HATE that chick! Her voice gets on my nerves. And she doesn't even have a real job.

It's so cold here in Massachusetts right now! I almost went outside without a coat and Mel was like, "Uh, it's less than 20 degrees outside."

I've been spoiled.
