We are both still at 30% of rain, snow or sleet on Friday Bonnie.

Afternoon forecast still calling for 50% mix PM Christmas Eve and 50% SNOW overnight into early Christmas AM!

The possiblity in itself is fun to follow. FEMA blue roofs and snowflakes...what a combo!

Hey, I just want to SEE snow. I, like many people along the GOM and SE would love to have a white-out accumulation snow event, but that's just not going to happen. I will be very happy just to walk outside and see snowflakes falling from the sky around my palm trees - what a site it would be! And to happen on Christmas Eve? Would be awesome.

After this area getting a right hander from Ivan, maybe Mother Nature is trying to apologize. If I see snow falling Christmas Eve... then apology accepted!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. I've already got the CD in the player ready to go.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

[SunnyThoughts]

50 to 60 percent chance here now...and even a mention of possibly accumulations of one inch in the panhandle of florida...what a sight that would be for christmas!

[Yankeegirl]

Friday: A 40 percent chance of snow. Mostly cloudy, with a high around 32. Breezy, with a north wind between 15 and 20 mph.

Friday night. Cloudy in the evening with a chance of light snow. Possibly mixed with sleet. Partly cloudy late. Lows in the mid 20s. North winds 5 to 15 mph becoming 10 to 15 mph after midnight. Chance of precipitation 50 percent. Total snowfall accumulation an inch or less.

Kathy, does this mean that their will be an abundance
of FROZEN crawfish? LOL, I'll take some tail meat for
etouffee, please....!

I do hope that you "deep-south" southerners get some
of that white stuff, too!

Cheers to a White Southern Christmas!

[CajunMama]

LOL Breeze...I'll drink to that! It'll be odd having a snow party instead of a hurricane party

As for the crawfish...i don't know what happens to them when it gets real cold...i could just eat them all myself!

[PTrackerLA]

When it gets cold like this, the crawish burrow in the mud making the size and quantity of available fresh crawfish much smaller (or at least that's what the crawfish restaurants say). Come back down here in March and April when they are HUGE!

If you don't share, my feelings will be hurt!

[breeze]

PATracker, I've been there in May for the BB festival, and, I
KNOW they're good!

[Terry]

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let it Snow, Mama! My fingers are crossed for all you guys with a shot at snow this weekend.

[Guest]

Friday: Snow and sleet likely, mainly before noon. Cloudy, with a high near 34. Windy, with a north wind between 23 and 30 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%.

Man would that be hoot or what?

Corpus Christi, TX

I've lived here since 1975 and I can't ever remember a forecast like Fridays.

My backyard will die and man thats going to be some work clearing out all the dead tropical stuff thats been growing for 10 or so years.
