Everyone in the western panhandle ready for the big whiteout?
Bread and milk and beans for the chili?

Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa and Walton counties have closed their offices until Thursday. I've seen predictions for us from anywhere from 2.5" to 6". I hope it just snows enough for our grandkids to sled.
It was 23 with a wind chill of 17 here this morning. Still below freezing at almost 10am.
Honestly, how many of us remember walking across the FSU campus when there were mornings like this?! It’s January. It happens.
I remember one night walking down Tennessee St. in the bitter cold, and there was a frozen cat in the gutter. That was the first time I'd ever experienced that kind of cold. Being a freshman, I won't even tell you what we decided to do with the poor thing.
I understand just how that cat feels. Woke up a few a mornings on the side of Tennessee Street myself.
According to Weather Underground, it should start here around 1:00 with a possibility of 5" of accumulation. We'll see.
Take it from me, if there's ice, DO NOT go driving anywhere!
It’s just starting here in low country SC. We should get 3-5 inches plus some ice. I’m from STL. One drinking buddy is from PA, the other guy is from NY. Given how people here drive in bright sunshine on dry streets, we’re very frightened😜
It's been snowing hard here for over an hour. I wish I knew how to post videos from my phone.

This is the 5th fairway behind my house. It's been steadily snowing for several hours since I took this video.
This is seriously cool. Have been able to see snow many times but it's quite a different feeling having it happen at your home when it's never supposed to.
Ended up with around 6" of snow. It's 13° outside now with a forecasted high of 33° around 2:00. The snow will be around for a while.
Don't eat the yellow snow!
This green is going to be a little hard to read.

Everything is still mostly covered. It only got above freezing for a couple of hours yesterday. 20° this morning. It is supposed to be in the upper 30s today so we might get some melt. I imagine the golf course will be closed at least until Saturday.
The snow is about gone in all of the exposed areas. Still hanging around in the shade.
I know northern folks won't understand it, but damn, as a Florida kid, this was cool. I'm sorry to see it go. My grandkids made memories that will last a lifetime. These last few days will be talked about for years to come.

Maybe not. If the the climate change science is accurate, won't weather like this become more common?
Saw snow like that once in my life, was living in northern Mississippi.... saw snow in Fla. once, it came down, but melted when it hit the ground, no snow on the ground, nothing like in your pictures.
Depends on what you consider more common. That was the most snow in Florida since records have been kept. If records have been kept for 100 years, I really have no idea how long, then having a similar storm again in 90 years would qualify.
