We've had a lot of snow here.. at least 3 inches so far.

And it's really blowing and drifting.

[HarlequinBoy]

Measured 5 inches of snow here and it's still coming down.

I'm trying to take pictures but they turn out funny because the snowflakes get in the way.

[breeze]

Well...

Finally...! It has started, here. Very light, but sticking to the cars and the grass!

[HarlequinBoy]

This is crazy! 6 inches of snow and actual snow drifts.. yes snow drifts in Mississippi. Most are 1-2 feet but I measured one that was 35 inches.

WOW. Take some pictures!!!!!!

[Brent]

What a bizarre event. This storm passed over me about 45 minutes ago.

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN PEACHTREE CITY HAS ISSUED A

* TORNADO WARNING FOR...
NORTHWESTERN DOUGLAS COUNTY IN NORTH CENTRAL GEORGIA
NORTHEASTERN CARROLL COUNTY IN NORTHWEST GEORGIA
SOUTH CENTRAL PAULDING COUNTY IN NORTHWEST GEORGIA

WOW. Take some pictures!!!!!!

I'm planning on it bright and early.

[HarlequinBoy]

My total accumulation was 7 inches.

[Brent]

Light snow flying around here. Some minor accumulation on roofs. There's a dusting not far away. Looks like it might do this for awhile.

[breeze]

Looks to be moving out for us, now.

Total accumulation here is 3 " . With temps only projected to be around the 32°F mark,
today, it shouldn't melt until tomorrow. That should give me one day to get the "snow
bug" out of my system and get ready for Spring!

[Dionne]

Snowed here last night....enough to make everything white. I can see my freshly planted lettuce sticking up out of the snow.

[Brent]

Well, the storm got out of here in a HURRY. I'm very glad I woke up at 7 and saw the light snow because there is zero evidence now. By 8 it was just flurries and the sun was starting to come out so I went back to sleep. The sun is brightly shining now. Places that got a dusting north of here it melted fast and is all gone now.

Birmingham interstates got briefly extremely dangerous early this morning, the local TV station which was doing live coverage showed a three-car pileup live on one of the traffic cams!
