Learning Curve.

I will chalk this bust in my forecast up as a learning curve. They always say do not expect much snow here out of a Clipper system. It looked so good on radar just a few hours before the initial snowfall but it was for naught here. I received 1" of snow at my home in Madison and we had a variety of amounts across the North Alabama area from 4" in Swanee in Franklin Tennessee to 0.05" in the Shoals area. We are still under a winter weather advisory until 8pm tonight. for an upper air disturbance that could bring more snow later this afternoon and evening. It is near the Memphis area at this time (11:41am). I am so ready for tornado season. Here is the latest HWO from NWS Huntsville
