It’s coming down lightly, but consistently here. It’s now covered the tops of the grassblades (a rarity these days). The highest prediction I saw was for 6 inches, but I’ll believe it when I see it. We used to get a (relatively) lot of snow in the winter season prior to the late ‘80s, but snow has been rare and we’ve had warmish winters since (I believe we hit 60 earlier in the week).
If we get to 6 inches, that might be the single largest amount in one shot in probably close to 25 years. We get 1 inch in TN (excluding the Mountains in the East, which is a different story), and everybody goes into panic mode, that’s how rare the snowfall has become.
I had well over a foot the end of Feb. last year in Covington.

Well, on Wednesday we hit 60 degrees for a high in Tulsa, and I had already been posting for a day prior that we were getting an ice storm in Oklahoma. Everyone was rushing the stores on Wednesday in 60-degree weather with clear blue skies, such a beautiful day.
One day later, there was freezing rain, and ice building up and it hasn't been above freezing since then... :-)
So, it was weird to be rushing about for an ice storm/snow storm in 60-degree weather with not a cloud in the sky (at least at one point in the day, it was clear...).

Do let us know what you get, and for all the rest of y'all in the state, keep us all up-to-date as to what's going on in your corner of this state... :-)
Oh, and one more thing... we’ve already picked up six inches of snow here in Tulsa, since just before noon today. And it looks to me that it will go to maybe 8 to 10 inches, if it keeps it up for another few hours...
We had a big snow in January 1996 which oddly enough on http://www.easternuswx.com/bb/index.php?showtopic=221498 that is exactly what the meteorlogists were saying this had the potential to mimic.
