Live Blogging the Snow Event...

8:00 PM UPDATE -- Right now it is overcast and cloudy. The temperature is 40°F degrees. Rain/Snow is just entering the counties to our north and west.

8:30 PM UPDATE --  The temperature has dropped to 38°F degrees. Still no precipitation. Papa should be here any moment with Cokes and smokes. He had to work today.

9:00 PM UPDATE -- The temperature has dropped to 37°F degrees and continues to fall. The rain/snow event should start in the next 30 minutes to an hour. It is snowing in Roanoke, AL just to our north. Papa has just left. He was in good spirits saying they installed a new Windows-based computer system at work and he amazingly picked up how to use it quickly and used it all day to fill prescriptions. This refutes the old saying you can't teach an old dog new tricks.

Minus 88°F degrees in the Yakusia province of Russia last night. 

9:30 PM UPDATE -- The temperature has fallen two more degrees to 35°F. Still no precipitation yet. though. I saw on TV where the Weather Channel has a crew set up in Auburn just down the interstate.

10:00 PM UPDATE -- The temperature is now 34°F and snow is falling in LaGrange, Ga at this moment. It is just a hop and a skip away from us up the road. Still no precipitation. The weather gods are teasing me and torturing me. 

10:30 PM UPDATE -- It is now 32°F and sleeting. I guess something is better than nothing, but I am still holding out for snow. 


11:00 PM UPDATE -- The winds are just brutal right now. The windchill values are in the teens. No precipitation just yet, but the temperature has fallen to 29°F degrees. All that snow on the radar will grace us soon. 

11:30 PM UPDATE -- Well, it is now lightly snowing with a heavier band on the way. My wish has been fulfilled. This is something we rarely see this far south.
