More winter weather around Feb.5-6?

It is nice to know I'm Northern Middle Tennesse today.

HA!  Rutherford County....You never know WHERE they'll put you...  I would like the snow back; at least I had traction on my driveway.

Saw at school where they had bumped up totals and saw where SCK was under a WWA and wondered if OHX would follow suit.

This is a nice "surprise" I would say as, normally, one to two inches of snow is pretty good around here. But since we are just now getting over our "big time storm" many people will just brush this one off which is ok, but any snow in TN is a blessing.

This was posted on the other thread, but it's really for the current storm impacting the Mid-Atlantic:

Forecast for Fredericksburg, VA

Late Afternoon: Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. High near 33. East wind around 9 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total daytime snow accumulation of 3 to 7 inches possible.

Tonight: Snow and areas of blowing snow. The snow could be heavy at times. Low around 30. Blustery, with a northeast wind between 13 and 20 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 14 to 20 inches possible.

I have a friend who works at an ABC affiliate in Indianapolis.  It started snowing there HOURS earlier than it was suppose to today...They are only supposed to get up to a foot... ONLY. 

I saw a stat on TV that the single (one-day) greatest snowfall in D.C. was 28" and this could come close.

They couLd easily get another 6 from the ull coming through tomorrow night.

And northern va deals often with the same waa issues we deal with. This is NOT normal there and they are unprepared.

Exactly how do you get prepared for a 30+" snowstorm? lol I love snow, but even I would be quite scared of a 30" snowstorm. They will be stuck for days and even weeks for some people.

Its pretty bad when we're talking about another state's (450 miles away nontheless) weather. Especially when I'm from there...

I just don't know how you even brace yourself for 30 inches of snow in a single day. Can you imagine? We had 18 in a day here in '98 and it just about paralyzed us. Can you imagine if something like what DC is experiencing happened in Tennessee? People would be jumping out of high-rises.

Live Coverage from DC if you want to get enraged with jealousy

Latest Radar shows banding just getting organized over the DC metro...should be quite a night for them...

So from what I gather, this tail-end snow isn't going to amount to much and the junk coming in the begininng of next week isn't going to be anything special either?

[servocrow]

Just looked out the window...and getting snow mixing in with the rain...AT 42.2 degrees...

go figure..

 

[WFayetteTN]

Got light rain/flurry mix in Western Fayette county now too, at 39F.

[Charles L.]

Still rain here with a temp. of 40.9-41F, we are seeing a west wind, but as soon as we turn NW I believe our temps. will really begin to bottom out.

[Nashville_wx]

 temps at 925mb are at or getting close to freezing.
