Starting to look better for us in the Pine Belt. We might luck out and get 2-3". I'm going to stay up and watch it.

[SunnyThoughts]

Hey everybody..I've been out Christmas shopping all day. Glad to see all the snow out to my west. I see Mobile now has a winter weather advisory...can we push all this stuff at LEAST 60 miles more to the east from there? lol Whatever happens happens, just glad the South is getting in on some snow!

I take it your talking about the Pensacola/Milton area. I think we could see a change over from rain to a wintry mix in the very early hours of tomorrow, but as far as a solid snowfall or accumulation goes most likely not.

[m_ru]

Just got done with my last class today, so I will be on snow duty from now on

The models have really not been handling the cold airmass coming down. Highs busted yesterday and most likely will today. A high of 55 today, but it is 1:00 and its only 46 degrees at Pensacola Airport.

Interesting night tonight!

Snow patrol! Snow patrol! Ivanhater, you think I might get some snow here later tonight or just rain?

Snow!

I very much enjoy your posts and your positive spirit, Ivan, but I have to say I'm having a lot of trouble believing this is going to unfold. My weather station is saying 49 degrees right now. That's asking for a heck of a drop in temperature between now and sunrise.

[Dionne]

We're at 38.1F.....6:26 PM CST. Doppler looks really strange out of JAN. We are on high ground and weather frequently changes as systems move east across The River. Consistent cold wind coming out of the north.

[attallaman]

WLOX TV13 here on my coast has just reported snow in Orange Grove north of Gulfport, not sticking though, air temperature is 49 degrees. Nothing yet here in Biloxi.

[Ivanhater]

I think parts of extreme NW Florida will change over to snow late tonight

[Dionne]

It's snowing! 31.73N Copiah county, MS. 7:15 PM CST

[MississippiHurricane]

Very light snow now starting to fall here.

[Dionne]

Significant snowfall increase within the last 1/2 hour. From light to moderate. The snow is sticking....especially on vegetation and trees. Wind has turned......it's all out of the northwest right now. At my office/shop our ambient is 35.1F....7:36 PM. No rain, all snow.

EDIT: I've been watching the precip very closely. We may be in for an icing event in our area. Precip is sticking to the windward side of the trees as well as power and commo lines.

I'm so jealous right now!

My weather station is at 45 degrees with a calm wind and no rain.

Moderate snow coming down now starting to collect on grass and on cars. Winds also picking up a tad
