If you do not like the weather in north Alabama, just wait a few minutes...

Growing up, in northwest [Sheffield], AL, I always heard the subject matter.

January 1st, the wind was from the south and the high temperature was 78F. Last night [Jan. 2nd], the low was 30F and we received 1-3" of snow. Seventy miles to the east, our daughter measured 6" this morning.

Have a nice day, wherever you are!

All we have right now on Virginia's appendix is wind and rain. Currently 37°, 21 mph NNW wind and 1.26" of rain since midnight.

Getting heavy snow here in Bend. Expecting 6 inches today, already got 2 so maybe more than 6? I did get my snowmobile out yesterday for a few laps

Good day David,

Funny to compare, but I'm 1850 miles Northeast of you in Canada (by road, a little shorter as the crow flies) and it was 50F here yesterday, and there's not a flake of snow on the ground. It's down to 25F today, so a little more crisp, but still no snow.

Winter is kinda wonky where I live. We don't get much snow, and when we do it is almost always followed by rain. My winter is more freezing rain and black ice than snow. We did however get a big dump of snow in November...a full 12" or more came down overnight. Then it rained for 3-4 days straight and it was all gone.

Last few days it was in the 70's here just out side Raleigh NC.
Yesterday it low 70's cloudy and rain on and off just enough where you could not plan to do anything out side.

I was told the rain came in about 10 pm as the dogs did not want to go out before wife came to bed.
When I got up at 12 am ot was 60°, got to work at 2 am was 57° and raining.
By 3 am it was pouring rain, wind kicked up and had flash flooding and talk of snow later.
I was waiting for a customer from 6am till 8am temp went from 55° to 41° and still raining.

They wanted a load of cement by the time I got back and started to off load it was snowing and temp was 36°
So midnight was 57° rain and at 11:30am was 36° and snowing.
It was not fun being out in all that

This one of those that makes a huge mess here, comes in from the Southwest (Raleigh NC, thanks Dave!) wind has been N to NW all day, temp is currently 31° and either someone has bad dandruff, or it's still snowing.

Our former, best weatherman we had, now a minister, Jon Cash gave a snow hope index of 4 yesterday morning. He used to come on the air wearing a big snowflake on his lapel.

I like to share

Our weather person said the snow would not stick as the ground was to warm.
Right now I got to get up and close the blinds to see the lap top as the sun is so bright and temp is now 39*

I will send you this in a little bit Bill
