The Moore Township, Northampton County report on the Public Information Statement is mine and we've only had negligible accumulation in over two plus hours since that report. Isn't snowing at all now. Amazing how much different it is 50 miles from me!

I'm actually a current graduate student at Mississippi State in the Department of Geosciences, although on the Geology side (note: the department also includes Geography and Geospatial Sciences). While I don't know a lot about the Meteo professors, I can tell you that there is a lot more focus on severe thunderstorms than winter weather within the Department (for obvious reasons*), although Dr. Wood is pretty well known for hurricane research. There is a heavy focus on broadcast meteorology (roughly 1/3rd of all TV mets are graduates, inlcuding Ed Hanna, among others, locally), but that would be stronger for online and non-funded master's students. As a funded student, you'd probably have a somewhat different focus, and you'd likely be teaching geography (potentially geology or GIS depending on your background) labs unless it is an RA. I could tell you more about the program or Starkville if you have specific questions. On a Lehigh Valley note, Dr. Sherman-Morris is originally from Easton. *-There will be a half dozen times per winter where it snows/sleets, but it accumulates maybe once per year. It actually does start accumulating just a bit to the north, though. There are even snowplow attachments in larger towns in the extreme northern part of Mississippi and western Tennessee!

NWS up to 18-24" here in Moore Township, Northampton County.
