BREAKS THE OLD RECORD OF 0.3 SET IN 1989. Not real sure yet as I am still trying to find out but as of 5:30pm Birmingham still had no measurable snow at the official recording station at the international airport, so not sure if they have or will finally have a White Christmas. As soon as I find out I will pass it on to everyone.
Well what a beautiful day as we have seen a Historic White Christmas across Alabama. Looking back on last nights chats most were still saying that we would not get very much across North Alabama. There were 2 people that had different opinions my friend and fellow weather geek Keith Lyle and myself. We both have really been talking up the potential for a White Christmas for about the last week, we would look at models and temperatures everyday. we would adjust and then readjust how much we thought we might get, and I even posted my thoughts on here with a map. I missed by just a little as I forecast 1-2" across Madison county and I had 4.35" at my home in the city of Madison. Late last night as model runs came in and it was looking more and more like a decent snowfall was going to unfold. Most others where still saying dusting to 1/2" across North Alabama and 2-3" in the NE corner of the state. Keith stuck to his original forecast as did I, and we were spot on. Way to go Keith I will forecast with you any day. Well below, are a few pictures from today the top few are from when the snow was just getting going with the roads still clear. The ones that are the same shots were exactly 45 minutes later and as you can see the roads were white. Also below are a few snowmen from along the way.
Great pics! What an awesome day!
