Winter Storm North Florida?

[thinkingnole]

Grad school at Syracuse. "Syracuse, New York, which topped our list as one of the Nation’s worst weather cities, also tops the list of snowy cities, with an average of 126.3 inches per year." https://www.farmersalmanac.com/weather/2015/11/30/snowiest-places-in-us/

You had to climb a hill to get to campus. Cars would wait at the bottom on the main route while one car after another tried to get to the top. Slipping and sliding. Gravity usually won. I didn't ever try the hill in severe snow. Just turned around and drove back to my apartment.

I recall the fountain at Wescott being frozen for nearly a week- and we had snow flurries in Tally on St. Patrick's Day in the early 70's.

I remember reading about this. I also remember the climate narrative back then was Global Cooling. There were a lot of folks convinced we were entering a new Ice Age. Funny how narratives can swing back and forth like a pendulum on clock.

It appears the trend for TLH is freezng rain by around 1 or 2 am switching to a little sleet then snow after about 8 am.

Latest NAM run...holy smokes, this will catch a ton of people by surprise if true.

The last time is snowed a measurable amount in Tallahassee was 1989. I was in the 10th grade and we lived in Killearn.

Umm..am I reading that right? Three inches of snow in Tallahassee?

 

[ZZ828]

That would be crazy if that much snow came down in south Georgia. Holy crap!

That is just one model. It could go east of us and we may get next to nothing.

I'm hunkered down in my long johns and just had a hot chocolate with those little mini marshmallows. May have another one if temps continue to drop.

 

[OrlandNole]

I had -24 this morning no windchill and have had snow for weeks and months to go so no sympathy here. Harden up lol.

 

[runkpanole]

We are getting a light snow out in the Southwood area, but nothing crazy.

 

[runkpanole]

Now it is more of a mix.

 

[LesClaypool]

Just walked the dog in Southwood. Our deck was frozen. Very light sleet, but no snow (that I could tell) yet. Fingers crossed it happens once the sun is all the way up.

Ice on my deck and falling at 8am. Snowing as I drove past Buck Lake Elem, but now just sleet falling

 

[NoleLizards]

Had a few flurries around 8 this morning in the Hartsfield Road area...Enough where it's accumulated just a bit on surfaces.

 

[LesClaypool]

Weather's cleared here in Southwood. Just a bunch of frozen ice on the roofs and decks. No snow

 

[noleclone2]

Got heavy almost snow for three minutes. Huge flakes. Other than that was rain.

Just as I typed my last post it started snowing. Huge flakes too. Kids are thrilled!

 

[AllNoles]

It's warmer in Tally (43) now than Jax (39), and our wind chill here is 29. My heat has been running continuously since yesterday afternoon, set at 71. Sweats and socks and hot chocolate y'all !

71? I go all Christmas Story Dad on my kids if they set it above 64.

 

[Random_John]

It's been snowing at my office for about 20 minutes now. It was sticking to the ice on the cars. It's pretty cool. Been since 89 since I've seen snow like this.

 

[DukeFan1]

Light snow for a brief period, then it shifted to sleet/freezing rain....I heard that the Thomasville Road flyover was closed due to an accident, since bridges always ice up before the roads....I'll be heading into work late, just so that everybody else can slide off the road first...

I posted on Facebook that I needed to move to the north side of Tallahassee and then bam. Nice flakes for about 10-15 minutes at the state office complex.

Our company just sent out a notice about the potential effects Winter Storm Grayson may have on business.

Chimp or anyone else... doesn't look anything like Sandy, is it just a frigid snow storm that's forecast for the east coast?

Pretty cool, but it's actually "nearly 30 years" (1989).

The storm must be bad news - our Boston office is essentially shutting down tomorrow.

It snowed my senior year, 73.

I was working weekends at the Frisch’s on Tennessee. On Saturday or Sunday it snowed while I was there. It seems like it was an inch or so, but I can’t remember now.

 

[RangerNole]

Weather is funny. Wife and daughter just face timed me and we have 2-3 inches in HHI; yet I am at Ft. Bragg and not a single flake of snow. Our dogs seemed to really love the snow.

Sandy was a hurricane that became extratropical as it made landfall. This is a Nor'easter that will bring high winds to southern new england with more than a foot of snow possible eastern Mass. and downeast Maine. It will look like a hurricane on the satellite imagery tomorrow east of the Mid Atlantic.

You: “Dad it’s snowing in Tally”
Dad: “I remember back in 1986...”

Spoke to soon. We have about 2 inches at Ft. Bragg now. Good thing I picked up the Yukon 4X4 for a rental.

Yesterday I talked with a couple from Wisconsin. They said they have always heard about how much colder the same temp felt here but had never seen it until yesterday. It was about 5pm in Chipley Fl and the temp was 30 with a very brisk wind. They said it was as bad as 0 degree weather in Wis.

 

[funksouljon]

It got up to 50 today, I have shorts on. But I remember the storm of 89, seemed like almost everyone I was in school with got sick from playing in the snow.

I think they are full of pookie.

Yep, 0 and 30 are in two very different worlds. Sure, damp cold is different, but that is a silly statement.

 

[SoddyNole]

Did they say when it snowed in 89? I never remembered it snowing while at FSU. If it was during Christmas break, I would have been out of town at that time.

Pretty sure it was Dec. 22-23, we had taken a family vacation up to North Carolina because we really wanted to see snow. Joke was on us.
