... Winter Storm Watch in effect from Tuesday evening through

Wednesday afternoon...

The National Weather Service in Morristown has issued a Winter

Storm Watch... which is in effect from Tuesday evening through

Wednesday afternoon.

Rain will quickly change to snow by late Tuesday afternoon.

Occasional snow showers are expected Tuesday night and Wednesday

producing snow accumulations between 3 and 6 inches... mainly at or

above 2500 feet. Lighter snowfall between 2 and 3 inches are

expected across the lower terrain. Persons planning on traveling across

the higher elevations... such as Highway 441... Interstate 26... and

High Knob... needed to prepared for ice and snow covered roadways.

Besides the snow... brisk northwest winds between 15 and 30 mph with

gusts to 40 mph can be expected producing some blowing and drifting

of the snow. The brisk winds combined with temperatures dropping

into the teens and 20s will produce wind chills in the single digits.

A Winter Storm Watch means there is a potential for significant

snow... sleet... and/or ice accumulations. Future driving

conditions may become hazardous... so continue to monitor the

latest forecasts.

Man that sux. I don't think we're getting any snow up here, just rain.

Im pulling my hair out.....and I don't even have any. Couple more weeks and we should be good to go.

I hate it for you guys

I just shoveled four inches out of my drive way and I think there is more coming.

 They have said just "chance" of flurries here in the mid-south. It is supposed to be cold and nasty for the next 2 days >. Then (hopefully) supposed to get warmer again.

 The old "if you don't like the weather, give it half an hour, it'll change"...

BTW seems like in last 10 or 15 years, Feb and Mar is when we get most of our worst weather
