James,
Interesting report from Memphis:
“Been a longtime reader of the blog – excellent job with the site, as always!
I’m in a suburb of Memphis and wanted to give you an idea of what’s headed your way (hopefully.) The convective bands in this upper level system have been absolutely amazing the last couple of hours. We’re on the backside of the storm now, but it’s still coming down at a 1.5″+ per hour clip, and has been for about 2 hours now. We’ve also had strong wind and isolated thunder, producing near whiteout conditions at times. Had around 4″ this afternoon, so we’re easily approaching 7″ mark on grassy areas now, with roadways completely covered as well. Some areas north of here are locally reporting in excess of a foot to a foot and a half. Amazing stuff. It’s the most snow I’ve seen in the Deep South since living through the Superstorm of 1993 in Birmingham.
Here’s to hoping B’ham gets in on the action and breaks the snowless streak this morning!
God bless,
Bryant”
