Thread: Snow on the coast?

VERY rare for NWS Mobile to be discussing an imminent threat of accumulative winter precip, especially down to the coast

[MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING]...SIGNIFICANT WINTER WEATHER EVENT UNFOLDING TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. A POWERFUL COLD FRONT WILL HAVE MOVED SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA BY MONDAY EVENING...BRINGING STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS AND SUBFREEZING TEMPERATURES INTO THE AREA MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING.
WITH COLD AIR IN PLACE...MOST OF THE AREA CAN EXPECT A MIX OF FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET THROUGHOUT THE DAY TUESDAY. WHILE THERE WILL BE A MIX OF PRECIPITATION TYPES...THE MOST SIGNIFICANT IMPACT WILL BE FREEZING RAIN...FOLLOWED BY A TRANSITION TO SNOW AS A SERIES OF STRONG UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVE FROM WEST TO EAST OVER THE AREA.
TEMPERATURE AND MOISTURE PROFILES ARE IN MUCH BETTER AGREE ACROSS THE AREA...SO CONFIDENCE IS NOW HIGH THAT A WINTER STORM WARNING WILL BE UPCOMING. POTENTIALLY WE COULD SEE 0.25 TO 0.75 INCH OF ICE COATING THE ROADS...BRIDGES...POWER LINES AND TREES. THIS MIXED PRECIPITATION TYPE IS THEN EXPECTED TO TRANSITION TO ALL SNOW NORTH OF A LINE FROM HATTIESBURG MISSISSIPPI TO ANDALUSIA ALABAMA TUESDAY EVENING...AND SOUTH OF THIS LINE ALL THE WAY TO THE COAST AFTER MIDNIGHT TUESDAY NIGHT. 1 TO 3 INCHES OF SNOW COULD FALL IN ADDITION TO THE ICE...COVERING THE ICE ALREADY IN PLACE. THE TRACK OF THE UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE INDICATES THE HEAVIER PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS WILL BE SOUTHEAST OF A LINE FROM WIGGINS MISSISSIPPI TO GREENVILLE ALABAMA...WHERE SIGNIFICANT HAZARDOUS WINTER WEATHER ACCUMULATIONS ARE POSSIBLE. LIFE THREATENING IMPACTS TO TRAVEL WILL LIKELY OCCUR.
IT IS HIGHLY ADVISED NOT TO TRAVEL IN THESE CONDITIONS.


LOWS MONDAY NIGHT WILL DROP INTO THE MID 20S TO LOWER 30S. HIGH
TEMPERATURES TUESDAY WILL RANGE FROM THE LOW TO MID 30S INLAND
AREAS...WITH MID TO UPPER 30S ALONG THE COAST. LOWS TUESDAY NIGHT
WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER TEENS NORTHWEST ZONES TO THE LOWER 30S
SOUTHEAST. /22

Sounds like Nebraska. That weather might have stopped me from fishing. Good luck..

Well, I guess I get to justify all that cold weather hunting clothing I've bought over the years. Up here in Clarke County, north of Mobile, it looks like we're a lock to get that wintry mess. I'd better fire up my generators for a check run and make sure I have plenty of firewood stacked because any kind of ice accumulation on the power lines usually means lights out and I'm out at the end where they don't restore power until the very last. Poor me---pass me some whine to go with that cheese.

On the other hand, it may be a chance for an adventure. Yeah, that's it---I've got to be ready in case a carload of Atlanta Falcon cheerleaders gets snowbound on their way to a cheerleading clinic in New Orleans and I can rescue them in my trusty Wrangler and take them to my cabin to warm up in front of the fire where I will give them potent hot beverages. I'm sure their gratitude will be thorough and enthusiastic---I may even take a bath and shave tonight. Even if the cheerleaders don't show up, the Victoria's Secret models might make it. Gotta get ready---rake the floor and wash my dish.

I think my cabin fever is getting worse.

you sure have an imagination .....dream on that is my dream....but woke up to reality darn it....2 days of snow blowing and plowing and now the wind kicks in and getting cold -15 tonight.....-35 wind chill

Haywire that is never going to happen. You'll never be able to fit all those cheerleaders into a Wrangler! Might have to cull a couple of them.....

I hope y'all ran out and got bread and milk because you know us southerners love a milk sandwich on cold winter snow days.

Don't forget the toilet paper. We run out of that up here in North Alabama in addition to the milk and bread during a snow scare. I can only imagine how quickly you would run out with a house full of aroused cheerleaders.

LOL! I have a friend who lives in Georgia, she originally was from Wisconsin. She always say the mere mention of cold weather sends everyone frantic to the stores getting all the basics!

I'm lucky to be here at the hunting camp which is my emergency hurricane retreat, so I have generators and all manner of emergency supplies (including toilet paper) as well as a good fireplace and plenty of firewood. Let her rip!

BDL--- I was worried about the room in the Wrangler myself, so I put my trailer hitch carrier on with a couple of blankets. Who knows? Stranger things have happened. I just hope it isn't a bunch of college cheerleaders, because about half of them are males. Yuck.

I know I'll be all right as long as I stay off the roads. Nobody down here knows how to drive with snow and ice on the ground, myself included.

Maybe the Chippendale's exhibition team!!! That would make your wife happy!

With 44 years selling milk and bread all I have to say is, forecast snow 27/7 365!!!!
