    Snow/sleet event moving in tonight.

    It's been predicted all week that a major snow event would move in on Sunday night with heavy snow and sleet through Tues. I'm not looking foward to it at all. Looking outside now it is sunny and about 30 degrees. Light winds blowing from the east at about 5mph. I've got some outside work things that I need to get done today. Let's see what happens.

    Our major event is supposed to be Wednesday, this morning we just got a light dusting, but oddly enough for being so far away we have the same temperature as you.

    Wel the grass was green here on Monday and it's covered by a foot of snow now. We're about 2' behind for the winter so far but it just started snowing again. Looks like I'll be busy again tomorrow.

    Just west of Ft Worth, rained all morning, snowed for about an hour, maybe a little longer starting at 1 pm. No accumulation. Guess the cold air hit too late for us to get much. Jim.

    Here in West Central Alabama it has been sleeting. Bridges are slick. Accidents happening around I hear. The big precipitation is supposed to come later tonight. Hope we don't lose our power due to ice!

    Looks like 30 will be my high today. Has been sunny and cold for a week with a dimming chance of moisture the end of the week. We are at twice our normal snow pack and the lakes are filling nicely.
    We just finish getting the ice off the driveway today.

    It's 11pm, and the snow is coming down in Buford Ga. An hour ago there were a few flakes. The roads are now covered, and I expect it's going to continue coming down throughout the night. I don't think I'm going to work tomorrow...

    Several areas on 75, 85,, 285, and 78 are completely blocked by traffic accidents.

    Y'all be careful out there!

    About 2" snow on ground now. 26 present temp. Have a slight grade to climb leaving home. If neighbors don't turn the snow to ice spinning their tires I can get to Waffle House for my morning coffee visit.

    Reminds me of when my dad retired to just north of Myrtle Beach from southern OH. Snowed about 8" on him the first winter. Can't write here exactly what he said about that...

    Predicted to be around 45 here at noon. We've been hovering between 32 and 34 all day. Sleet - rain - sleet - rain . . . My office is inland a little west of Savannah proper. New advisory was issued just after lunch that is in place until 5. I only have one long bridge to go over on the way home. Hopefully it won't start to ice up! Y'all be safe out there.
