snow/ice “Out of curiosity, who got what? We had about a 1/4" ice here in the State of Franklin. Wonder how the Sterling folks made out. I bet they slid down Baxter Creek trail.” 8:32:44 PM 1/29/05 “just talked to a buddy over in Greensboro, NC and he said it snowed really hard for about 30 minutes, got his little kids all excited and then quit - nuttin. Then it switched to a light sleet - maybe that won't last too long.” 8:39:42 PM 1/29/05 “nothing here : (” 10:17:17 PM 1/29/05 “We were supposed to get a mix of snow/sleet today here in NW Indiana but nada...just cloudy all day.” 10:25:15 PM 1/29/05 “it looks like Georgia and South Carolina got hit hard by ice. I know Gem was suppose to leave yesterday headed for the Smokies” 10:33:35 PM 1/29/05 “We started off with the snow coming down pretty good here in Dayton. Before it stopped it turned into rain. It was too warm for it to stick anyway. I wish the weather would stay cold all winter so the snow would stick around. This cold then warm crap is killing me.” 10:52:10 PM 1/29/05 “Getting "clobbered" here with continuous days of blues skies, brilliant sunshine, and occasional high clouds. Temps in the 60F-70F range during the day, expected to drop to a bone chilling 40F tonight. Same dull, boring forcast for the next few days here in Southern California.” 11:17:44 PM 1/29/05 “about an inch or 2 on the ground here” 5:58:31 AM 1/30/05 “Mt Rogers Virginia: 1/4 ice at the base of the mountain and 3 inches snow. Did a day hike too scales, then on too wise shelter (AT).Snow and ice there 6 inches and more as you hiked above 4000 ft, much more. Drifts up too 1 1/2 ft from snow fall last week. I live 3,600 ft and have 1/4 ice, 2 inches snow.” 6:16:25 AM 1/30/05 “we're supposed to go snow tubing tomorrow night with my work/clients (yes! extra billable hours!)” 6:18:38 AM 1/30/05 “We had the bad sleet/ice over New Year's weekend here. Our ice is still on the ground, just covered by snow. Last night I had cause to be out trekking around on some gravel backroads. You get out too far to the side and you're still slipping/spinning on ice. And it's gonna be there until the long thaw that is spring arrives.” 9:38:02 AM 1/30/05 Snow and Sex “Snow is a lot like sex.... you never know how much you're gonna get, or how long it's gonna last. last edited: 1/30/05 10:28:45 AM” 10:28:17 AM 1/30/05 “Things warmed up to the low to mid 20's around me. After over a week of -10 to -25 lows it feels like a heat wave.” 5:53:45 PM 1/30/05 “3 in snow @ campsite #37 last night, not cold , compared to what we are use to!!! Alot of ice on Mt.Cammer Sat.” 6:49:55 PM 1/30/05 “had bout inch and a half of snow, topped with bout a half and inch of ice, and sleet in statesville” 7:17:50 PM 1/30/05 “Just a light coating of ice at the "higher elevations" in NW alabama. Mostly cold rain.” 8:24:14 PM 1/30/05 “I snow shoed for the first time this weekend in the deleware River Water Gap - NRA! Man was that fun.” 8:30:46 PM 1/30/05 “This was my trashcan at 9:00 Friday night a little bit after it started raining. It got steadily worse from there. Lost power a couple of times at night. Saw a really cool electrical light show when a limb fell on the power lines across the street. ”8:34:21 PM 1/30/05
