  1. yes, still sleeting in Greenville - but quite mild at 42
  2. bingo...and I live in the sleet capital of the US...never experienced so much sleet since I moved here...live near I85 which is normally the dividing line between liquid/frozen precip (in marginal CAD events)...this storm has potential...
  3. My wife and I lived in Seneca (actually in a lake community north of Seneca) from 2003 thru 2006. I remember that 2004 storm! I worked in Anderson at the time - was released from my position early that morning (mod snow in Anderson); but, after driving home to Seneca, snow rates significantly subsided - I think we rec'd about 1/2 inch, at most. I wanted to stay in Oconee County - amazingly beautiful lakes with easy access to NC mountains (Cashiers, Highlands) - we'd drive up to Highlands at least once a month. However, my wife disliked Seneca/Oconee County (esp after we had our first two children) - then, after a short stay in Chattanooga (and another child!), we moved back to SC, into the city of Greenville - wife is much happier. I have great memories of Lake Keowee and the easy access to mountain activities. Absolutely correct on all points - now that I live in Greenville, I seem to receive more ice/snow.
  4. I strongly feel this winter will be special for most everyone on the board - don't think you will have to wait another 15 years
  5. no, the storm was delayed per CJ - I witnessed rain beginning about 5:30am that quickly changed to snow - now, just flurries
  6. I'm just south of DT G'ville - I have mod snow and 32 - sticking on all grassy surfaces - soon roads
  7. Enjoy your time in Tallahassee - the FL Panhandle is great - you are <90 min from the best beaches in the country (IMO much better than any beaches in NC/SC) - drive a little further west and you will reach my retirement spot, 30-A!
  8. my wife reports some sleet near DT Greenville, SC (mods please move to obs)
  9. "Bobby Mac" - that guy needs to retire - I've never heard a more cliche-filled radio show in my life - he is awful - BTW, Bobby Mac's/WORD's "weather" is just as bad - canned, robotic responses from someone out-of-state
  10. right! there is no CAD; west of Apps cold air molasses; not sure what will happen as I am right on the line!
  11. I saw him this morning, very early - he really didn't say anything - I think he quietly mentioned, "...there is a small chance for a rain/snow mix in the mountains..." Honestly, Dale Gilbert needs to retire - he is the ultimate snooze-fest. I'm waiting for an actual snow threat (during the work week!) and watch him utter the word "snow".
