A good bit of freezing rain here in Cullman city now. Cars already have a glaze of ice on them.

If Cullman doesn't get a switch to sleet, I am thinking we will mostly see ZR and not sleet in the Bham metro area.

Yep, son just looked outside and there's a layer of ice. And I can hear it raining pretty hard.

 

[Taylor Campbell]

This is crazy.

yeah, and the temperature is dropping fast with this precipitation. It is 23 at KCMD and 26 about a mile from my home.

Surprised to see BMX not pull the WSW south to line up with what’s over in MS. They must be reluctant to believe the latest model runs.

Have they updated their afternoon package ?

And pine trees in general.

And pine trees in general.

I would like those to stay upright. I've already had tree damage last spring.

26 and freezing rain now. Just had a pretty decent downpour that immediately froze. Ice hanging off of roof and vehicles.

Where please?

It is interesting to note that temperatures south of the Arctic front have warmed up a bit more than forecast today. For example, Anniston is at 57° right now, and the NWS forecast was 50°. It will be interesting to see how quickly temperatures cool later today and this evening.

This. Reached 54 yesterday and almost 60 today. I am not sure how much frozen precip we will get in East Alabama. A long way to go with air temps and even more so with temps on pavement. I could see bridge icing, etc. in the extreme Eastern counties, but I am not sure if there will be more than that.

I'm above the Falls, on the brow of the mountain here in Gadsden. Have NO idea what to expect. Any ideas? I know we are above a "magic number" of elevation up here, but don't remember what that was.

 

[Richardjacks]

Where please?

He's in Crane Hill Cullman County

 

[The Bammer]

Where please?

Southwest Cullman County
