Hey Snow Dog...that had to be awesome watching a dismantling like that in person!! Agreed cannot wait until next January at the Superdome! Was listening to the best clips last night on tiger net from the Paul Fienbaum show from tuesday when he was talking with bama fans.... This one guy named "Larry The Legend" told fienbaum "WE GOT CURB STOMPED BY DAMN FABIO....AND THEN ASKED...HOW IN THE HE*L DID WE ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN....HE SAID FABIO ROAD IN ON HIS WHITE HORSE AND JUST CURB STOMPED OUR A**ES.... He had a deep accent like the cookie monster the head coach from LSU....It was so funny I started crying I was laughing so hard.... GO TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Orangeburg... I wish all my gamecock buddies felt the way you do!! LOL.... Good luck on the new storm threat thread you started today! Hopefully you will bring the "MOJO" again and, we can get something down your way this time for a change!!

It was truly amazing watching & listening to the 95% of the espn talking heads crew who were doing the pregame along with saban and his players eat tons of humble pie all night long...the looks on saban and bama players faces going in at halftime like they all had just saw a ghost was priceless....beating the number 1 & 3 teams in the country on a neutral field within a 10 day period 74-19.... GO TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ice age, I live north of six mile just south of hwy. 11 and you are absolutely correct! This area of the upstate gets screwed so much when it comes to winter weather it will make your head spin. So hard to take when you just a few miles away. Just like sunday and in almost all events for example the travelers rest area, where it was covered in snow and ice and you got next to nothing. This happens all the freakin time!!! And, it just happened here again and was even more local just last weekend. We got maybe 2-3 inches of snow and sleet and all was pretty much gone by late sunday while my daughter in pickens sent me a picture late that day and they still had close to 5 inches of snow on the ground. It really is crazy the way the mountains effect our local eco-climate. I have heard references to our area being called the "Thermal Belt" in the past. I asked Lookout several years ago to explain what happens over and over again and why the warm air bubble seems to always parks its sorry behind over us during most winter events and he explained it to a tee: This is my lookout screw zone bubble in full effect. For those that aren't aware, it's when high pressure is northwest of the mountains which initially causes downslope flow and warming ahead of the system while at the same time causes an area of convergence (northeast winds over the upstate and northwest winds over ga) in the upper savannah river valley in the low levels and sometimes even as high as 850mb...which causes this area to be the very last place to get low level cold air advection. It can be absolutely maddening and can seriously screw this area...and it's happened a number of times. Some of my most painful memories of screw jobs involve heavy rain at 35 or 36 degrees while it was snowing to the east, north, and west..and even southwest...and a bubble of warm air up to 850mb sitting over me that never moved or was overcame. In order to avoid this, this area needs to have more high pressure to the northeast and northeast low level flow sooner ahead of the system or a stronger push of cold air from the northwest before.

My daughter said that chris justice actually got a death threat 2 years ago from someone on facebook when they were forecasting a big storm and we got nothing close to what they were forecasting. Pretty sad to say the least.... I think he does a good job in a really tough area to forecast winter weather.

Has been snowing hard since 12:45pm in northern six mile just south of hwy. 11. Ground, trees and vehicles all getting white.
