PLEASE Snow, Snow, SNOW!

So, we already got teased once this week, and I'm pulling for some real snow in my neighborhood today! The weather alert looks like this:

Heavy Snow Warning

/O.NEW.KFFC.HS.W.0001.080119T1200Z- 080120T0200Z/ MADISON-CLARKE-OCONEE- OGLETHORPE-WILKES-ROCKDALE-WALTON- NEWTON- MORGAN-GREENE-TALIAFERRO- SPALDING-HENRY-BUTTS-JASPER-PUTNAM- HANCOCK-WARREN-TROUP-MERIWETHER-PIKE- UPSON-LAMAR-MONROE-JONES- BALDWIN- HARRIS-TALBOT-CRAWFORD-BIBB-MUSCOGEE- INCLUDING THE CITIES OF...ATHENS...

...HEAVY SNOW WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 7 AM THIS MORNING TO 9 PM EST THIS EVENING FOR AREAS NORTH OF A COLUMBUS TO MACON TO SPARTA LINE...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN PEACHTREE CITY HAS ISSUED A HEAVY SNOW WARNING...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 7 AM THIS MORNING TO 9 PM EST THIS EVENING.

RAIN SPREADING NORTHWARD ACROSS GEORGIA EARLY THIS MORNING IS EXPECTED TO CHANGE OVER TO SNOW THROUGH THE LATE MORNING HOURS. THE SNOW MAY INITIALLY BE MIXED WITH RAIN...BUT WILL TRANSITION TO PREDOMINANTLY SNOW BY EARLY AFTERNOON OVER MUCH OF THE WARNING AREA. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE HOVERING NEAR FREEZING MUCH OF THE DAY SATURDAY...AND A DIFFERENCE OF A FEW DEGREES WARMER OR COOLER WILL GREATLY IMPACT POTENTIAL FOR THE SNOW TO ACCUMULATE. WHILE CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY STILL EXISTS WITH RESPECT TO LOCATION AND AMOUNT OF SNOWFALL...THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR 1 TO 3 INCHES OF SNOW ACROSS THE WARNING AREA THROUGH THIS EVENING. AT THIS TIME...IT APPEARS THAT THE GREATEST LIKELIHOOD OF THE MORE SIGNIFICANT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS WOULD BE NORTH OF A COLUMBUS TO MACON TO SPARTA LINE.

A HEAVY SNOW WARNING MEANS SEVERE WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OR OCCURRING. SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF SNOW ARE FORECAST THAT WILL MAKE TRAVEL DANGEROUS. ONLY TRAVEL IN AN EMERGENCY. IF YOU MUST...KEEP AN EXTRA FLASHLIGHT...FOOD...AND WATER IN YOUR VEHICLE IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY.

So that's a pretty cool maybe. :-) I'm keeping my fingers crossed that when I wake this afternoon, I will see some white! Nevermind that I have to go to work tonight regardless of the weather - yes, hospitals NEVER close. But I will play on the top of the parking decks if I have to - anything for snow, said the little girl from the hot, hot south who's only seen it in person about 5 times in her life. Wheeee! :-)
