Anywhere from Texas to Michigan there's going to be/has been snow today. Winter storm warnings extend from mid-Arkansas to Michigan and Ohio where anywhere from 4 or 5 inches to 19 inches of snow will fall, with the higher totals north. Many locations on the eastern side of the storm will see it start out as Freezing rain and recieve alot of ice, anywhere from Tennessee to Ohio and far western Pennsylvania.

We're expecting 8-15 inches by tomorrow afternoon up here in Detroit, a Winter Storm Warning or possibly a Blizzard warning will be issued soon for my area. :D Going to be a white Christmas here, as will it in many other locations in the path of this storm where it wont make it above freezing until after the Holiday.

So, who else is being effected besides me?

I am.:D

Ditto. I live in Texas and we had snow flurries and sleet. It's not that big of a deal.

I'm so sick of this state... it never snows. :mad: That stinks. You need to come up north here to the Illinois/Indiana/Ohio/Southeast Michigan area, we'll be getting PLENTY of snow.

Most of that's moving up here, too. Going to be a nasty night to be driving, winds of 25-30 mph with higher gusts are going to reduce visibilities greatly, add those with the 1-2 inch per hour snowfall rates and you have a real mess. This is going to be the biggest snowstorm we've had in quite some time.

I'm from southern Illinois and we got 10 inches

We got it!:D

Oh... I've seen snow here and I am not at higher elevations, but it's been 3 years since my front yard had snow and that was only an inch. There have been some close calls... Cheaha, the highest peak in this state, had a couple of inches back in February and northern parts of the state had up to an inch, but I want to see more than that. :mad:

Last big snow at my house was a surprise one in February 1998. Wasn't expected at all but we ended up with 5 inches.

Do you live around here? :lol:

Do you live around here? :lol: No, I'm in California. I watch the Weather Channel a lot.

Going to be a fun night tonight, I probably won't get much if any sleep at all.

Near Blizzard conditions for a good 5 hours tonight.

*raises hand* I am. We're supposed to get 6-8 here in Central Ohio, plus over 6 inches overnight. :eek: It's really coming down now

:eek:

LMAO...Everybody makes fun of ND because so much snow gets dumped there, and it's always really cold in December, but not this year. We actually had some nearly 60ºF days here...and it hasn't really snowed since October 17th. We've had some snow since then, but nothing to write home about. No snowstorms tonight. IT's going to be at least 42ºF on Xmas Day. So unless a freak snowstorm blows through here tonight, we aren't having a white Christmas. :lol:

My turn to laugh now. ;) It's nice, actually. I like not having so much snow. :D

Good god, everyone is getting snow but us...

Blah. It's raining here for the 158, 254th time. :rolleyes:

54 degrees. Yuck. Radar shows the rain will be here all night.

Everytime it snows here, it happens about 2-3am and is melting by the time the sun comes up. :(

We're expecting heavy rain here. I hate this weather... yesterday it was 6 degrees, and now its 50.

We do have a high wind watch though, that could be exciting.

All we've been getting this season is rain. We got snow like once, and i think it was an inch, if even :rolleyes:

Tomorrow we are getting more rain. If it would have done this Monday it would have been a blizzard. :eek:

Have fun. :cool:

I vaguely remember walking to a friend's house the next day... The snow drifts were up to our front door(and you had about 10 steps to go up to get there!). :eek:

PICKENS...AND SUMTER. MAJOR CITIES IN THIS AREA INCLUDE
BIRMINGHAM...TALLADEGA...ANNISTON...GADSDEN...AND TUSCALOOSA.
A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM CONTINUED TO GATHER STRENGTH
OVER THE WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO THIS MORNING. THIS STORM SYSTEM
WILL PICK UP SPEED DURING THE AFTERNOON AS IT MOVES RAPIDLY
TOWARD THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT
SPREADING ADDITIONAL PRECIPITATION ACROSS ALABAMA. AS THE LOW
DEVELOPS AND MOVES EASTWARD...A LARGE DOME OF COLD AIR WAS
SETTLING INTO THE STATE.
DURING THE MORNING A FAIRLY EXTENSIVE AREA OF LIGHT TO
MODERATE SNOW...OCCASIONALLY MIXED WITH RAIN...MOVED ACROSS MUCH
OF THE NORTHERN HALF OF ALABAMA. ACCUMULATIONS OF AROUND 1 INCH
WERE REPORTED ACROSS THE NORTHWESTERN PORTION OF ALABAMA WHILE
LITTLE IF ANY ACCUMULATION WAS REPORTED ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA.
SINCE THE STORM SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN JUST OFFSHORE
IN THE GULF...IT WILL BRING EXTENSIVE SNOW TO MUCH OF NORTHERN
ALABAMA LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. THE SNOW SHOULD BEGIN
ENDING SATURDAY MORNING. THE TRACK OF THIS STORM IS VERY
FAVORABLE FOR A SIGNIFICANT SNOW EVENT ACROSS NORTH ALABAMA. BY
SUNRISE SATURDAY...SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS OF MORE THAN FOUR
INCHES ARE LIKELY ACROSS NORTH ALABAMA.
BESIDES THE THREAT OF SNOW...THE STORM SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE
TO INTENSIFY AS IT MOVES EASTWARD TONIGHT AND SATURDAY INCREASING
THE WIND OVER ALABAMA ON SATURDAY. WIND SPEEDS OF 30 TO 40 MILES
AN HOUR ARE POSSIBLE DURING THE DAY SATURDAY. THIS INCREASES THE
THREAT OF POWER OUTAGES AND DAMAGE CAUSED BY FALLING TREES OR
TREE LIMBS. FURTHERMORE...WITH VERY COLD AIR IN PLACE WIND CHILL
VALUES WILL DROP WELL INTO THE DANGEROUS CATEGORY.
PEOPLE WITH TRAVEL PLANS SHOULD STAY INFORMED AND KEEP UP
WITH THE LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION. AS THE WEATHER SITUATION
UNFOLDS...TRAVEL COULD BECOME QUITE HAZARDOUS. ANY UNNECESSARY
TRAVEL SHOULD BE DELAYED OR POSTPONED.
PEOPLE ACROSS NORTHERN ALABAMA MAY WANT TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS
FOR POSSIBLE POWER INTERRUPTIONS SINCE THE COLD WEATHER WILL TAX
POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS. WET SNOW COMBINED WITH THE STRONG
WIND EXPECTED WITH THIS SYSTEM RAISES THE CHANCE THAT TREE LIMBS
AND POWER LINES COULD BE DOWNED.
A DAMAGING FREEZE IS ALSO FORECAST FOR ALL OF ALABAMA
SATURDAY NIGHT AND INTO SUNDAY MORNING. TEMPERATURES WILL DROP
WELL BELOW FREEZING OVER THE ENTIRE STATE SATURDAY NIGHT. LOWS
SUNDAY MORNING ARE FORECAST TO BE IN THE MIDDLE TEENS ACROSS
NORTH ALABAMA WITH UPPER TEENS TO LOWER 20S OVER THE SOUTHERN
HALF OF THE STATE. THE AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITY AND OTHERS WITH
OUTDOOR INTERESTS SHOULD CLOSELY MONITOR THE LATEST
FORECASTS...AND TAKE PRECAUTIONS TO PROTECT PLANTS AND ANIMALS.
THIS CONTINUES TO BE A DANGEROUS STORM SYSTEM. PEOPLE IN
ALABAMA ARE URGED TO TAKE THE WEATHER SERIOUSLY. NEWS MEDIA
OUTLETS ARE ASKED TO MAKE FREQUENT BROADCASTS OF WEATHER
INFORMATION IN ORDER TO KEEP PEOPLE WELL INFORMED.
ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS WILL BE ISSUED BY THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE IN BIRMINGHAM THROUGHOUT THIS WINTER STORM EVENT.

NORTHERN ALABAMA...ADDITIONAL SNOW ADVISORIES MAY BE REQUIRED
FURTHER SOUTH INTO PARTS OF SOUTHERN ALABAMA.
A DAMAGING FREEZE IS ALSO FORECAST FOR ALL OF ALABAMA
SATURDAY NIGHT AND INTO SUNDAY MORNING. TEMPERATURES WILL DROP

THE STATE. AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS AND OTHERS WITH OUTDOOR

I remember in Nov/Dec 93, we had some really nasty blizzards and we ended up getting 8' - 12' snow drifts and they were all over town. My house at the time was on the top of a hill and we still got some serious snow drifts up there. I posted some pics in a thread last year. After all the blizzards ended, we went out driving and took pics of random houses.

We are under a winterstorm watch/warning in the Flint Michigan area. I hope it stays south of us as I have a lot of holiday things going on tomorrow!:eek: :mad:

We got almost 4" of snow here in Lawton today, and it is actually the most snow I have seen in my entire life! :lol:

I hope you can get your holiday stuff done, the snow should be letting up by 1-3pm tomorrow.

I live right in Detroit where about a foot is expected, thankfully I have nowhere to go tomorrow. :lol:

No, unfortunately. I forgot what snow even looks like. It NEVER snows in WI anymore. Maybe like 2 inches at the MOST for the whole season.

Stupid global warming. I miss having big blizzards!

Already beginging to accumulate, just a dusting to a coating...But we're on our way.

The Weather Channel says Heavy Snow, 6-10 inches tonight and 3 to 5 inches tomorrow, for a total of 9 to 15 inches.

It's starting to come down harder now, it's going to get heavier and heavier as the night goes on.

It seems to be a very strong storm.

We've got about 2 inches of snow now and it's still coming down moderately and blowing. The snow will soon begin to increase in intensity. 6-10 inches by daybreak, so it's going to come down hard and fast.

I can hear the snow blowing and hitting the window.

It hasn't snowed here since before I was born..and they are predicting 1-2 inches of snow. Now, I understand for most people it is no biggie (for me neither I grew up around snow) but the people down here are having fits right now.

Thank you snowstorm!:thumbsup:

Just got in from a walk in the snow. It's coming down hard and accumulating fast. Current snow accumulation: 2.5-3 inches.

Heavy Snow and Blowing snow

5-8 inches on top of what we got tonight and 3-5 more inches tomorrow.

Hmm, most locations in Michigan around my town are reporting 1 to 1.5 inches of snow, while I've already recorded about 3 inches and it's accumulating rapidly.

We quite possibly could be in for some elusive "Thundersnow" from about 5-8am. There will most likely be whiteout conditions during those intense bands.

I'd say we're closing in on 5 inches here so far.

I'd say we're closing in on 5 inches here so far. 5 inches solid and conditions are rapidly going downhill. The winds have picked up and the snow is reducing visibilities to around a half mile to a quarter mile. The snow is falling quite heavily.

Live from Taylor, Michigan...About 10 miles southwest of me.

Looking across the Detroit River to the Detroit Skyline...Quite obviously you cannot see downtown because of the heavy snow.

Currently at TF's house:

21.9F with Heavy Snow and Blowing snow

Visibility: 0.25 miles.

Windsor Ontario officially recieved 3 inches of snow last hour, this is some hefty snow we're getting here. I'd say in the past hour we've gotten atleast 2 inches, going over the 6 inch mark.

We missed most of the snow that fell in the Cleveland and westerly areas because of the temperature...But now most of the 6" snow we received yesterday is now being washed away by the RAIN . Strange Ohio weather...

Looks like a dry slot is coming for you TF. :lol:

I live in Indiana and my county currently has a snow emergency. It looks like we have about a foot of snow all together on the ground. It's nuts.

we got about 16 inches of snow last night here in Dayton - there's probably 2 feet of it on the ground, and where am I?

Yeah, I wasn't around at the time but my family that was around at the time for sure would remember that winter. I don't live there though...I think Williston is like 4-5 hours away from me. I do remember one year, I think I was in 4th or 5th grade, it got to -86ºF one day. It was front page news the next day and they had to close school for a few days because it was too dangerous to go out in the cold.
