Snow totals from yesterday are now in. A few from NWS include Calera 3.5″, Billingsley 2″, Double Springs 1.5″, Hamilton 1.5″, Center Point 2″, MGM 0.5″, Wetumpka 3″, Beauregard (Lee County) 4″, Trussville 2.5″. The Trussville report is at my house, and once it melted and fell into the rain gauge the water equivalent was 0.33″, so the ratio of snow to rain was about 7.5 to 1, meaning 0.75″ of snow for every 0.10″ inches of water precipitation.
Here is a map constructed by the NWS of snow totals:
Here are some pictures of the snow taken at one of my favorite places, The Warrior River. These photos are from Tina Graham and Denise Hilleke, who were at the river during the snow (I came back from Mobile late and didn’t make it down there). The river is still a little high and stained from recent heavy rains, but the pictures are beautiful.
It’s time for spring now.
