    That is what they said. This afternoon, I wondered if the soil was still frozen below the very top layer. Raked it back and sure enough it’s frozen. Won’t take very much snow or ice falling to re freeze the top layer again. I’m not sure they are thinking about the leftover effects of the extended cold we just had. At any rate, I have very little elevation here, so I will likely see only snow in the air and be at 33/34 degrees but I still have snow in the shade around here in places. There’s places on the lake bed near the water with snow still. It evidently drifted into holes and low places. I kid you not I found a place yesterday and poked through the ice, it was almost 6in deep still, and that down by the water. Granted it’s scattered around in sections here and there, but it’s still here.

    12z GFS started to show it, but the 18z came on strong. Looks almost too robust! Lays down a 1-3in in east TN along and north of I 40

    Just had a heavy one move through here. Too bad it didn’t last long. It was ripping there for a min. Big flakes!

    Yeah definitely don’t want a roof crushing snow that’s for sure, but that’s a good guess I’d say if we had a comparable event here to what they had there!

    Looks like my parents ended up with 6-7in on Okaloosa Island, at least on wooden walkways and vehicles/grass. Seems like the actual sand wouldn’t let more than a couple inches accumulate, and that is further away from the water up next to the dunes. I know everyone is saying a generational or lifetime storm, but I think it’s more than that. The FL records in Pensacola and Ft. Walton have just been obliterated and they go back quite a ways. This very well is a century or more storm for them. New Oreleans too bc it just set a new daily record snowfall! Add Mobile to that too I saw 10in recorded there. Now to the east of about Okaloosa Island as you go into Destin, the totals went down due to sleet and mixing. Still, even 2-3in is unheard of for FL and this will go down in history! I know we were talking about Ludlam’s Early American Winters a couple days ago. This reminds me of something you would read in one of his books! Truly remarkable!!! Maybe one day we can experience something relatable here. I’m not sure what that would be, but we can dream, right!

    View from my parents condo in Ft Walton beach FL. It’s absolutely ripping there right now. This was about an hour ago and they had a couple inches then. Probably got 3-4 by now and who knows where they will land. I have a friend who knows someone in Pensacola and they measured 7in there, but I think it was slightly inland.

    I just saw that there are Blizzard warnings for SE TX and southern LA! That is just mind blowing!!! This storm is truly the storm of a lifetime for them down there. My parents are at their condo in Destin-I can’t wait to see what happens later there!

    Made it down to 7 this morning and up to 21 today. The temp is currently falling like a rock though even without hardly any snow on the ground. Already down to 14. Since the wind is calm, I got a feeling if the clouds hold off for awhile could be lower than forecast tonight. Maybe back down around the same temp.

    I noticed that! Without deeper snow cover I’m not sure that’s possible!

    I will say that in Volume 1 there is a chapter dedicated to the South, but it is quite small compared to the Northeast and New England sections.

    I found a copy of Ludlum’s Early American Winter’s Volume 1 last year on Amazon. It cost me about $100, and at the time they had 5 copies. I am truly amazed at what’s in it!

    Been under a decent streamer somehow for a little while. The road has turned white guessing we have close to a half inch now.

    That’s great Powell! PTL those people really need it! I will be praying for your church and those people you are doing it for. Thanks for sharing that!

    I hear you! My location in the NW corner of Hamblen/Hawkins is the same way. Clinch Mtn downslopes me just about every time.

    Well just had a nice heavy snow shower and this time managed to drop to 32 and pick up a good dusting
  16. Jed33
    Have had really heavy snow beautiful big quarter and even larger flakes today but it’s just not cold enough to stick here. Looking at the higher ridge tops above 1,600 or so feet they seem to be the dividing line between the dusting (or more) around my area.

    Getting a rain sleet mix right now here

    I noticed quite a bit of snow down by the lake (Cherokee) behind my house this afternoon. There is a cove where the sun doesn’t shine on part of the ground at all this time of year. That area had a large area of snow that was an inch deep still in spots.

    Well my parents live in Birmingham now, so I will root for them to get in on it. Granted they are on the NE side of it. I still expect them to be impacted by it to some degree.

    Was just noticing that too John! The Canadian worked back north a good bit that time from the get go back in OK and AR. It looked a lot like the 12z and 0z runs from yesterday
  21. Jed33
    0z RGEM has the low on Sunday developing in central AL and crusing east to the lee side of the apps. Looks a little like the 12z GEM earlier today

    Wow what a storm! That was a great jog down memory lane guys with the 93 stories! I lived in Jackson, MS at the time and we picked up about 3.5in at my house even there. My Aunt and Uncle on the northeast side of Birmingham picked up 18in. He said he couldn’t even get the doors opened for awhile. Had to have help from some neighbors to get the snow away from the door. As impactful as the 93 storm was in March though, I gotta think that the results in January would be even more extreme! If you take that storm and put it in January, the low temps would be well below zero for several days and the high temps might not move much from the lows for a day or two. The snow hung around in March 93, but got to think it would hang around a lot longer in January!

    I thought the regular (non AI Euro) at 18z also looked pretty good for Sunday here in E TN as well. Pops a Lee side low after the main front goes through and has a nice mini system. The GFS has it too, and it’s not much, but it’s something and it’s only 5 days out now.
  24. Jed33
    Got about 2.5in now gotta say after the way it was going, I’m shocked!
  25. Jed33
    Clawing and scratching my way to 2in almost there. 1.9 now and light snow sometimes heavy falling again. Don’t think I ever had freezing drizzle, but did pick up some sleet earlier.
