Well we didn't get completely skipped on this one, but overall this one's bark was much louder than it's bite in the upstate, though the mountains got dumped on again. Most of teh upstate north of 85 was predicted to get 3-6 inches, with NOAA predicting 4-9 inches for many areas. The most I have seen listed for the upstate was about 4.5 or 5 inches with a couple of places receiving 4 inches. I got about an inch and a half at my house, and a light dusting this evening. What about you guys; totals? Pictures?

I got about an inch or so here in Powdersville. The warm air advection was greater than models progged which led to more sleet/freezing rain than snow. Also, the thunderstorms down by the coast hurt the precip. amounts here. There is another system that will make its way here on Thursday/Friday. That one already looks more potent than this one. GFS model shows a few inches for this area. The high pressure up north should cause a wedge with a good deal of cold air damming if it holds.

Nothing at all happened in downtown Greenville until after 10 p.m., and then it was only freezing rain. Between the 12-day cold snap and the ice, I'm not sure if my palm trees will make it.

Yeah I have been watching that one too. They have already come down on the forecasted temps for the weekend quite a bit, but they are still too warm for any accum. And it seems like they never work out when they start talking about a "possible storm" that far in advance. And often the cold air wedges result in only shallow layers of cold air and you know know what that could lead to. Anyway, it will be interesting to watch it this week. Also looks like we have a possibility of light snow Tues morning.
