Some more nasty weather coming our way here in the midwest this evening into the pre dawn hours.
Snow, rain with freezing rain on top of it.
Be safe out there.
I have 6 hours of it tonight.:(
Already dis-missed school.

Re: Here we go again

A storm system will begin to organize over the Lower Mississippi River Valley today, and move northeast toward the Mid-Atlantic Friday.​

Freezing rain, sleet and snow will continue to spread across parts of the southern Plains, Middle Mississippi River Valley, and Upper Ohio River Valley today and tonight.
This will impact areas from Oklahoma City and Tulsa, through Springfield and St, Louis, to Louisville and Cincinnati, where significant accumulations of ice will be possible.
Precipitation will overspread the Mid-Atlantic by Friday, starting in the form of a wintry mix and snow, but transitioning to freezing rain through the day.
This will impact areas from Pittsburgh, through Philadelphia and Washington, DC. Some ice accumulations, and/or a few inches of snow will be possible.
A band of snow will also develop across the Midwest today and tonight, and spread into the northern Mid-Atlantic and southern New England by Friday.
This will bring a general 1 to 3 inches, with local amounts of 3 to 5 inches across areas from Kansas City, through Indianapolis, through Dayton and Erie to Scranton and Syracuse.
On the southern side of this storm system, rain and thunderstorms will spread from the Lower Mississippi Valley, across the Deep South today, and through the Southeastern States on Friday.
Rain may be heavy at times, bringing totals of 1 to 3 inches to areas from Jackson and Mobile, through Birmingham and Atlanta, to Charlotte and Charleston.
A few severe thunderstorms may also develop in the warm, moist, and more unstable air mass near the Gulf Coast, from Southeast Texas across southern Louisiana and Mississippi today, and across southern Alabama, southern Georgia, and the Florida Panhandle on Friday.
This will bring the risk for hail, damaging wind gusts, and isolated tornadoes to areas from Houston and New Orleans, to Mobile and Jacksonville.
This multi-faceted storm system should exit to the northeast by later Saturday, ending as a few snow showers over the New England States.:eek::eek:

Re: Here we go again

I'm not going to say its not going to happen, but the weather man 2 weeks ago said we would get 7 to 10 inches. How much did we really get maybe 1inch. The week before that was going to be 6 to 8 inches, nothing. I'm telling you its the job that I need, can be wrong all the time and still get paid.
I'm ready for spring.

Re: Here we go again

I've been watching the weather also. It seems like half the time they build up how bad these are going to be and then nothing evolves. There has been several times they predicted 1" or less and then within 6 hours it jumps to 6 to 8. Sure hope it isn't going to be too much in ice. Without power and single diget temps can make it dangerous for some.

I hope the weather does change soon, about 5 more weeks til I launch the boat,,,,,,,,,,providing the water is water and not ice :D

I lived in Louisville Ky most of my life and I was always more nervous when the weatherman called for a light dusting. That is when we had a fair chance of getting slammed.:eek::D

So, yes, that guy or gal has the most forgiving job ever.:rolleyes:

Re: Here we go again

Yep, the snow started here about 2 hours ago ... I need to be up in 4 hours to get ready to head to the airport ... flight leaves for Orlando at 7:15 tomorrow morning ... we are supposed to have about 6 inches of snow down by then ... just hoping the freezing rain and sleet holds off till we are in the air.

See ya all in a week. I'm going to Disney World!

Re: Here we go again

This morning all the local schools are closed. Right before going to bed the computer generated forcast predicted our area to get hit with 5+ inches of snow/ice. I measure maybe close to two of the powdery stuff. This is about the 4th time a major snow was to hit only to become a dusting. I hope they are not using the same computers to figure out the global warming trend. If so,,,,I know I don't have much faith in them by how poor the predictions of weather are. They still can't accurately predict the weather 48 hours in advance.

Re: Here we go again

We finally are getting some substantial snow for the first time this year. I hate to be the oddball here but I love it, and wish it would stay a week or two.
