Friday, an iced up Cirrus came down under BRS. Just a bit northwest of
where I live here in Alabama. According to the newspaper, it took off
out of Birmingham and iced up climbing through clouds, stalled, and the
pilot popped the BRS. Came down in a tree. Pilot and passengers
uninjured.

Icing in Alabama, damn.

Yeah man! Even in Dixie, it gets cold when you get high. Here in the
Auburn area I've flown through snow showers coming out of big ol'
cumulus clouds well into May.

Not to mention the ice storms that hit AL from time to time.
