Deep South Winterwx Discussion 2015-2016

[Dean4Storms]

If these models are correct we could see a good snow from SE MS eastward toward the FL Panhandle and I think it makes it to the coast as well as I can see no reason for the cold air to stop its march SE once the Low gets to our south.

[Dean4Storms]

Snow reports in McComb MS and fixing to be in Hattiesburg. The Snow/rain line is marching ESE.

Seems ahead of schedule

[TideJoe]

Light snow now in Hattiesburg. The radar still has us with rain for 150 miles in every direction, but it's definitely snowing.

[Brent]

This is amazing...

Brent excuse my ignorance, but what exactly is this map saying?

Thanks

It is snowing here in meadville mississippi in southwest mississippi and it is getting heavier started earlier than expected

It's changed from light to moderate in about 30 minutes. Definitely getting heavier.

Yep, as the heavier precip falls, it will cool the temps to at or below freezing.[/quote]

Sa-weet! Well, it has dropped to 37 now. *Crosses fingers* Keep dropping!!!

When do you expect the snow/rain line to move into coastal Florida? Around daybreak?

loving this snow radar is showing a mix but it is nothing but snow comming down

Where do you live?

[Jag95]

Things are really going to start getting interesting in McComb in the next hour or so. Changeover to snow has already occurred and radar shows a band of deep moisture in LA heading in your direction. Take pictures.

McComb seems to always get the heaviest snowfall. I'm hoping we get a good piece of the action in Hattiesburg this time.

I don't think you'll have to worry about that this time. Send some my way.

[TideJoe]

We're back to sleet/rain in Hattiesburg. We must be right on the changeover line.

[DEEDEE911]
