The low pressure area causing all this was centered along the Mississippi Coast moving NE

How many of you are going to try to stay up for as long as they can, or are you going to get up early.

Kenny ,

No snow. Might be a good idea to go to bed and try again in a couple of weeks

Why is it that they have already got the 7 Day Planner showing Saturday Morning and stating events that haven't even happened yet? Is that a forecast to.

Hey kid-o , I'm fixen to be turning in around 23:00 . If it were spring & a tornado situation I would be rite there with ya , but with it just being rain / snow I would rather get up in the a.m. and hopefully enjoy the snow showers tomorrow when you can really see them and go out in them . I am really glad to see you , as a young teenager , enjoy the wx. like you are . Have a good night & get you some sleep and see what happen tomorrow . Until then ......

I'll do my best. I'm not as much of a night owl as I used to be!! :)
I'm in Calera (Shelby Co. Airport exit). I'm not expecting too much out of this. The temps aren't dropping enough for anything but rain here and maybe a snow shower or two will be spotted here tomorrow.

It's always timing when it comes to these kind of storms.
I just want enough to make a decent snowman and have a good snowball fight. I don't care to be snowed in on the w/e. Now, if it was Monday, I'd be wishing for a foot or two. :)

Anyway, I'll be monitoring my conditions as much as I can, but again, its all gonna be above freezing and rain down my way, I'm sure. Stay warm, guys.

Well, I think that I'll probably be going to bed pretty soon. This looks more and more like another no show to me. Currently here just north of Eva the temperature is 39.8 degrees with light rain. Temperatures have remained above freezing, even in areas that have received snow to the west so anything that does fall probably will not stick around for too long. If something noteworthy does happen later on tonight, I'll post. Have a nice night everyone. :)

I'm staying up, Kenny. People are getting too pessimistic too early. My hopes are still high. I'm on Noccalulla Mtn. in Gadsden right at the cutoff point of 1-3 inches, but I'm sill very optomistic!!!

They dropped the snow advisory for Blount, Etowah, Cherokee. Not looking good for the rest of it either that's left...

Ok ladies and gents of the night... Here we have the latestfrom the 00 z run of the GFS... It seems to be slowing the Low down a bit and moving some of the cold air in in the morning?? Maybe some snow??? Chek out this four pannel.....

Rusty, The 540 line still looks pretty high in that run. Only covering the extreme northwest corner of the state.

What else are you seeing?

Rusty--
Hmm...mighty interesting. If that low sticks around and lets that 540 line get here, it could change everything. James did say that there were always a few surprises with storms like this. May not be the case, but it could happen...

I think that when the temps start to drop more than they are now, they will fall rather fast for a few degrees.

Sence the posision of the low depicted on the SPC Mesoscale Analysis Page seems to be generaly still moving east, maybe a little ENE movement and slowing.
I think this could help with getting some more cold air in the area maybe a little sooner but not much.
We need James to come back on and give us an update on the models!
