  1. Was snowing very hard for awhile, now in the front edge of heavy yellow and red returns and its all sleet- darn it!
  2. Great decision, there's nothing more special! Forget about snow, that can happen anytime. Congratulations man!
  3. My parents live in Dacusville, they had enough snows to cover the ground a couple hours ago, I think they went back to mainly sleet but at least they saw some. I've been back and forth from mainly sleet to mainly rain and my deck has a slushy layer but haven't seen the first flake. 32.5 here.
  4. Been at 35 and all rain for several hours, heavy returns right now. Per radar, the snow line has set up shop about a half mile north of me and hasn't budged since about 4pm. Is anyone in pickens county seeing any snow?
  5. Eh, huh? Did they increase totals? That's not the map I saw earlier. What is the reasoning for the increase?
  6. Per all the radars I am seeing it is supposed to be snowing over my house; nope...just cold rain.
  7. Yep, just no cold with this system. 35 and plain cold rain here. I guess I'll probably see a few hours of mix tonight/early morning, but I don't expect much at all until you get farther north. We've been getting these high QPF systems every couple of weeks, hopefully we can get one to match up with more cold later in the season. Looks good for areas above 2000 feet though.
  8. 36/35 dropped 2 degrees. Mostly rain but some sleet mixing. Haven't seen my first snowflake yet!
  9. I've just come to the sudden reallization that I'm a terrible parent. We had told our son it may snow today. He got up this morning and looked out of his window, then came into our room to dejectedly report "Daddy, all I see is rain." I tell you, teaching my son to be a snow lover AND a Gamecock fan while living in the upstate is setting him up for a life of heartache... what am I doing!
  10. Now mid 40s showing up in the CLT area. Even looking up into VA temps are all into the mid 30s.
  11. At that rate we should be dropping below freezing in the upstate by about... Wednesday!
  12. Temps not cooperating yet. Per Wundermap, I see a 40 up by Lenoir and Hickory, with 39 near AVL and Hendersonville. GSP area 39-41. Up to 39/38 IMBY - we're going the wrong direction! Even Mt Mitchel St Park listed at 28 - there's no cold!
  13. I'm in Easley! Actually I'm the very northern tip of Easley and usually a couple degrees colder than much of Easley and the 123 corridor - so maybe I have a shot (begging and pleading)? Verbatim though, I would get an inch of sleet while my parents 7 miles north would get 5-6 inches! Guess I'll have to take a trip to let the kiddos play.
  14. Encouraging to see a 1038 and a 1036 (instead of a 1033), but hoping for a 1038 or higher. Dew in SC running in the mid to upper 30s and have risen over night as precip came in. This tells me there has been no CAA into SC yet. Need that cold to really push if we're going to make it. 38/36 here. Just noticed I 85 temps running mostly in the 40s. Low to even mid 40s showing up on wundermap in the CLT area, low 40s GSP area, with upper 30s just north in the upstate.
  15. Per WYFF radar already snow showing up in AVL area.
  16. I am actually pretty confident we'll get some more chances this winter, even in the upstate, and even for other areas of SC. The pattern for Nov and Dec have been very wet and below normal temps. El Nino yes, but this seems like an even better pattern so far. We had 3 rains in the mid 30s in Nov and already a winter threat in early Dec. I think we get several more legitimate shots between now and early March. I really think the 1-20 to I-85 crew will have a good shot this year. Last year it was the crowd below I-20, and it's always the 1-40 crowd, but we haven't gotten a true 20/85 storm with good snowfall in awhile.
  17. That actually looks way better for SC for frozen. Shows .75 -1.25 falling with temp below freezing; maybe all ice though.
  18. I think it's becasue the area that will get it is so small. It used to be in these bigger systems that the lower upstate would get some too; Laurens, even Abbeville and Greenwood. It looks like people in the golden strip and Anderson area could get completely blanked. Plus I think it's harder to be excited about ice for most. While I'll take sleet over nothng, snow is the king. Most of the actual 85 corridor will see very little of that if any (unless there are big surprises). Plus, it's always harder to see someone not that far away get multiple times what you do.
