Snowmageddon / Snowpocalypse / White Death 2015 updates........Nothing so far in

[chaodawg]

Planning on coming up to the UK game from Jackson! I was going to ask if I could get some update on road conditions in Starkville as the time gets closer! Any advise would be appreciated! Like I said I am "planning" and still accessing to see if I "should" go!

Thank you!

If things go as forecast the roads will be a mess. You can go to mdot's web page for road conditions.

Do we have time to move boston's snow here before game time?*

I wish by some miracle that we could get this game canceled giving us at least a shot to get to .500

Here is the link to the mdot site on road conditions. Since there may be people wanting to drive up for the game tonight thought I'd post it. Might be a good thread for people to post road/weather conditions. Right now here in Starkville we have light freezing rain with some occasional sleet mixing in.

[Saltydog]

the Tupelo area...........Looking like the Golden Triangle is gonna get hammered pretty good.........NWS showing between 4-8 inches of precipitation for that area..........Just north of there 3-7 and areas north of Tupelo 2-4 inches......

Where is everybody at and what kinda precip you getting, if any?

[Dallas_Dawg]

It started raining here in Dallas early this morning, now it is moderate to heavy snowfall.

[Saltydog]

has a plant in the Dallas area and they haven't worked a day this week..........

[starkvegasdawg]

Great minds think alike. Started a similar thread. Mods may want to combine them. Getting frz rain here in Starkvegas.

[Boston]

It's raining with a small mix of freezing rain here in Calhoun City.

[notsofarawaydawg]

Only rain in Columbus at the moment.

Shreveport is getting pounded by White Death like an Ole Missus Sorostitute on a recruiting weekend

[DawgHouseUnited]

Not a thing in Corinth as of 9:30am

We got sleet/freezing rain on Monday morning which had the roads messed up until Tuesday afternoon once the temps got above freezing. Schools were cancelled Monday and Tuesday but not today. Heard traffic was horrible so I'm posted up on the couch

[Smitty]

Yeah still rain in the GTR.. Is it really going to snow 4-8 in. here?

[CJDAWG85]

In Madison... I can't see out the windows because I've built a couch fort. Gotta stay insulated.

[Westdawg]

nothing here in the north delta but a lot of rain. It started snowing a little before 8 here. Did that for an hour, then heavy sleet for about 30 mins. Now it has been freezing rain and rain ever since. I really want to see some snow accumulation, but it aint gonna happen. I will say that there is some serious slush on the sidewalks and some roads right now, so if the temps keep dropping and precip continues to fall, then we might have some issues this afternoon.

[archdog]

Columbus is only seeing rain up until now. I just went driving around, roads are fine. The kid is home today from school and yahoo weather just revised the snow forecast to start after 5 today.

[TheRef]

The Storm Prediction Center has issued a Mesoscale Discussion for Heavy Snow. Now what are they talking about with Heavy Snow? Let's just say they are calling for around 1 inch per hour snowfall.

So how much snow will campus be getting today.. and when? Will there be classes tomorrow, roads safe, etc?

[RIdog]

Not Boston (i'm in Rhode Island) , but you are welcome to the waist deep mess in my yard - just come and get it . :)

[TheRef]

I'm still confident with the 3-5" of snowfall...roads will be tricky to the point where I wouldn't travel unless you are confident in your driving/necessary to drive. I do think we will have classes tomorrow because people will drive and halfway clear the roads for the morning until the snow melts.

[preachermatt83]

nothing but rain in Philadelphia.. We won't see a drop of snow. Been saying it for two days.. I now declare myself Ref 2.0

lol, ok weatherboy!! HaAHAaha!!

I'm confident...and the stats will back me up on this. You just wait, the snow is coming.

[TheRef]

Also, Preacher, just because it doesn't snow in Philadelphia doesn't mean I was wrong in my forecast preacher. Make no mistake, this was a borderline situation as far as where the snow/rain line would be. You want to get pissy with me about that, then so be it. Why don't you go get a 4-year Meteorology degree, and then we can talk about it like educated men.

[Smitty]

Still rain in Starkville

Mixing with sleet...snow is inbound.

[TheRef]

Full sleet now in Starkville....

[ScoobaDawg]

It started raining here in Dallas early this morning, now it is moderate to heavy snowfall.


How did it end up for you? The Upper level low ended up swinging lower than I20 along with a 35 degree warm nose made for another 33 degree rain for almost all of it for me with just a sprinkling of a covering around DFW Airport.

[Smitty]

What's the accumulation going to look like after the rain?

[MabenMaroon]

Sticking on the state highways and secondary roads n the Maben/Mathiston area as of now. The landscape visual is changing significantly by the minute.

[jbjones]

Heavy sleet just turned to heavy snow in West Lowndes. Starting to accumulate on the deck and in the yard some...damn that was fast.

[TheRef]

What's the accumulation going to look like after the rain?

Uhhhh....Depends on the temperature of the ground after this rainfall. I'm gonna stick to the low end of the original prediction.

[shannondawg]

Shannon is getting heavy snow, and has for quite awhile. Already cancelled trip to Hump..

The cars, rooftops, and yards were covered with snow but nothing really accumulated on the roads. I still "worked from home"' today though

[Smitty]

Still nothing in Starkville.. The famous weather force field around this town is at it again. Could have predicted this.

dude, I was joking with you.. Good Grief.

[MaxedOutMaroon]

I'm never not entertained here

[TheRef]

The snow is steadily falling now in Starkville. Accumulating on elevated surfaces.

[DawgHouseUnited]

Still nothing in Corinth. I'm feeling skeptical about our chances.

[TheRef]

Snow harder in Starkville...big ol' flakes falling.

[oldwave]

We have about 3" and still coming down in Batesville. My sister says they have over 4" just south of Greenville.

[jbjones]

Big-ass flakes here in W. Lowndes too. I set up my GoPro on a 1 minute time-lapse. Hopefully It'll turn out worth a damn.

Ref, my WX station (Vantage Pro II) on my roof is showing ~33 degrees....has been all day. Spurts of ~34. I can only guess that is bad news for roadways, limbs, powerlines, etc? Or is it really not a big deal, and just turn into slush around 0800?

[Liverpooldawg]

I live about an hour north east of Starkville. We have 3 inches and it's still coming down. The roads are a total mess.

What type of roof do you have? I know it seems silly, but I do believe that a roof material/color will change temperatures slightly.

[Smitty]

Back to rain.. Underwhelming to say the least so far.

Black shingle, but it's been covered in snow for over an hour. Been snowing out here for a while now. It's on a pole...elevated about 4' off of the roof.

[JohnnyQuid]

been snowing in charleston for hours now and still coming down

[TheRef]

Seems that the rain/snow line is just wavering here at Starkville. Precip is expected to continue until about 8-9 PM.

Hmmmm...there can be some factors to make a weather station inaccurate. But temperatures should decrease through the day, precipitation is expected to stick around until about 8-9 PM.

Just took this about 5 minutes ago.

[Liverpooldawg]

6 inches here now, actually 3 in the last hour. I was overestimating with my first post. That is actual measurements over the last hour.

[Boston]

Have about six inches now in Calhoun City.

[Saltydog]

[Liverpooldawg]

7-8 inches now and our power is out. My in laws across the road have a generator though. Cables out though, missing what sounds like a great game.

Surely they're gonna cancel morning classes. The roads are horrible already

Msstate.edu says "Starkville campus closed 2/26/15. Meridian Campus will be open at 9:30am".

[Smitty]

Can I assume most businesses will be shut down tomorrow too?

[Liverpooldawg]

We wound up with 8 1/2 inches. Supposedly parts of the county had 10. Biggest snow I can ever remember or ever remember hearing about here. That's close to 100 years of living memeory.

[ScoobaDawg]

Ice on Monday and Tuesday, A sprinkling of snow on Wed, "Snow" flying through the air but too light to accumulate on Thursday, and now at least an inch finally measurable today....What a week to end Feb here in Dallas.

It's been coming down steadily for a few hours. The drive from Carrollton to Dallss was a beat down but I made it.
You mississippi/alabama folks may miss this storm as it looks to be heading north of you
