keep up hope. IT's possible. This day in weather history....
1960... A snowstorm in the Deep South produced more than a foot
of snow in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.

JB compares this weekend's chance to an event in Jan. '64 that brought Hico Tx (wherever that is) 9" of snow and snow to Houston and San Antonio.
No Mention of anything but rain for Fla though --complete washout Saturday

Oh well, I honestly can say that I didn't mean there are literally no palm trees in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
I have heard time after time that they live longest across south-central and more so southern Florida (in the eastern United States).

When I visited Florida in July 2000 to attend a cousin's wedding in Sarasota the poor palms looked so funky due to the severe drought that year. 
That was the year they had some bad brushfires, too, if I recall correctly.
I can speak for TX having some palm trees down around the Houston area because my Mom and I accompanied Dad on a business trip there in the late 1980s.

I remember to a degree seeing palm trees along the North Carolina coast on The Weather Channel, back in the 1990's when they were reporting one of the hurricanes that area.
Sure, palm trees exist north of southern Florida... but they aren't native to that area, they don't "stay alive" elsewhere.

Last night channel 4, WWL's Chief Met said there was a good chance of snow north of the lake. He is about the most conservative of all local Mets.
We will see if he changes his mind tonight.

I have a palm tree in my front yard. I bought it about 7 yrs ago. The cold doesn't kill it down. It looks nice with snow in it
A funny story:
Last summer we were in Biloxi for the truck rodeo (My father in law is an OTR trucker). We stayed in a hotel beside the coloseum. I was out walking around and saw these small palms barely breaking the surface of the soil. Smart guy that I am thought "Hmmmm I can get a free palm tree by pulling one up." I figured it would be ok, since the lawn care workers had been mowing them down. So, picture this. Here I am out there on the sandy edge of the parking lot trying my best to pull up a 3" palm tree. I tell you what. It's IMPOSSIBLE. The roots go to China! So much for saving $50. and needless to say, I still only have ONE palm in my yard.

I assume that's Carl you're talking about. I'm near Baton Rouge. Wonder what we'll get up here? I'm expecting rain, then a change over to even more rain. ;)
