  1. It is not down. Looking at it right now.
  2. Greenville, SC, at the foot of Paris Mountain.
  3. Moderate snow here. Temp dropped to 28. Ground is covered and the snow is beginning to stick to the streets. It will not last long, but it is beautiful!
  4. So, the reason Charlotte has missed out on the snow is because the NWS is located at GSP?
  5. At this point, models mean nothing. Just watch the radar and you will see the moisture drying up at the SC/GA line. Looks like nothing but light rain and sprinkles for the Upstate, with the same spreading into Piedmont NC.
  6. Live just north of Greenville, S.C. Enough snow coming down to turn roofs white. Beginning to stick to driveways too. I don’t expect this to last long, but it’s a nice surprise.
  7. Why do so many live and die by praising or blaming computer models? The weather is going to do what it does, right? What did our weather experts of yesterday use to follow storms? Having so many computer models just adds confusion and bad information for the public. Am I wrong?
  8. The snow underperformed in Greenville County. There was a dry slot over most of middle Greenville most of the afternoon. The inch we got was beautiful. For the first snow in three years, I’ll take it and be happy. Hoping for another one this year.
  9. Good breakdown from our friend Chris Justus. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/15WD28xj9u/?mibextid=wwXIfr
  10. WeatherUnderground has increased the snow totals for me from 4” to 5”. They have not wavered at all with snow totals in the last few days. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. We will know in the morning when we can look at the radar instead of computer models.
  11. In looking at the latest maps that you guys are providing for us, it looks like Upstate S.C., specifically Greenville County, is in a sweet spot for warning criteria.
  12. I desperately want a good snow for our area, but I am concerned about the prolonged cold for our friends in Western NC, many of whom are still dealing with no heat, no power and no water.
  13. The Charleston P&C has done an excellent job covering Helene. This is an example. “I've covered disasters around the world. After Helene ripped through the NC mountains, I went home.” https://www.postandcourier.com/news/helene-north-carolina-damage-first-person/article_0b2d62ac-89a2-11ef-a67d-5f340e06930a.html https://www.postandcourier.com/hurricanewire/
  14. The Charleston P&C has done a tremendous job covering the hurricane. This is a good article giving details about the 50 lives lost so far in South Carolina. https://www.postandcourier.com/hurricanewire/hurricane-helene-south-carolina-deaths-obituaries/article_c12ad978-81a9-11ef-8177-7f36ecac808e.html
  15. Chris Justice just posted this statement from the NWS. *URGENT MESSAGE* This will be one of the most significant weather events to happen in the western portions of the area in the modern era. Record flooding is forecasted and has been compared to the floods of 1916 in the Asheville area."
  16. I feel bad for Stanford coming into this situation. Power is going to be out in most of the Upstate by early morning. It could take days to get power fully restored. Could this be the Upstate's storm of the century? Maybe not, but I am terribly concerned for major tree damage and power outages. It is going to be a scary and sleepless night in the Upstate, NE Georgia and Western NC.
  17. We have gotten 1.25” so far, when only a couple of days ago, there was no rain in the forecast for at least 10 days. Beautiful!
  18. Rain! Up to 1.20” so far. Update. We ended yesterday with 1.89” of beautiful rain. Thank God!
  19. Grateful for three showers this week that have added up to 0.45 inches.
  20. Getting scary. Up to 5.50” already. Yards are filling up. I am afraid the winds are going to knock down a lot of trees.
  21. WYFF’s Chris Justice has his own new YouTube Channel. He is coming out with this detailed winter discussion at the end of this week. In the second part of this video (at the 10 minute mark), he discusses the possibility of snow for the southeast this winter.
  22. The hot and dry forecasts have turned into cloudy, warm and humid days.
