"Who knows"

Typical weatherman :)

Precisely! Today in northern SC we got at least twelve inches, with more to come. Only 3-6 inches were predicted. Here by Paris Mt., everything is shut down, trees will start falling with tomorrow's ice, and we will probably lose electricity. If the same storm is moving your way, I hope y'all have a good book to hunker down with. How about Travels in Siberia by Ian Frazier. I hear it's excellent! :)

BTW, I'd give a lot to be there now, to see the Pines under snow, to watch the Toop slide past, dark and icy. Count yer blessings!

Link doesn't work for me.

I only got rain down South at my place. Driving into Philadelphia this morning, I was probably only 4 miles North of Mays Landing when I started seeing ice on the trees as the temperature dropped. Major highways were fine but the backroads were pretty sloppy.

Give the link a try now. We had some icing last night then changed to heavy rain. Grassy areas are very sloppy, still some snow around.

46er,

The light blue color does not match the 3-6 inch color on the right. At least it seems that way to me. Maybe we won't get any snow :dance:

Hesh yer mouth Billy! Do you want this weekends big stone hunt cancelled agin!.bad enough they bury themselves in muck,now they can tunnel under the white stuff.
I had invented a stone detector but forgot and left it in my pack last time I went to wet virginny (as opposed to dry virginny east of the Pot O mac) and I laid the pack down and all the sudden i heard this awful racket,the pack started bouncing and smoking and then burst into flame.I think i overloaded my detector.

This storm amounted to nothing but light rain for me. Was 35 degrees this morning and drizzle at 5:30AM. By 7:00 the sky was clear with a beautiful moon and winds were picking up, which should blow dry the roads before they can freeze (hopefully) :)

Driving to Philadelphia, there was light snow on the ground and roads when I got about 10 or 15 mile North of Mays Landing, maybe 2" on the ground in Northeast Philadelphia. My friends say the neighborhood streets are terrible though, with packed snow and ice.

Got about an inch of snow in Moorestown, which sat on top of a layer of slush caused by the snow turning to rain before ending. After shoveling, it only took about 15 minutes before the remaining slush froze causing a very icy surface. Same is true on the streets and sidewalks.
