Looks like the winter weather is coming back to the Magnolia State:

JACKSON, MISS., Friday, March 7, 2008-According to the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT), a winter weather advisory has been issued for several counties in Mississippi. The National Weather Service has advised that North Mississippi, Central Mississippi and the Delta could possibly receive rain and snow today.
