That's just impressive. More snow for you all in the south... 

Unfortunately (well, good news for you guys ) no more storms are due to pass by my area so I really hope this is the last of February Fury. You guys deserve a break.

8.7 inches of snow @ DFW Airport...almost 20 hours of constant snowfall. What a sight to see!

Winter Storm Warning remains in effect until NOW 6 AM Friday...Many schools already closed for tomorrow...Roads expected to get real icy and dangerous tonight as temperatures fall below freezing.

GO DALLAS

[toxictwister00]

It's amazing how snowfall amounts are being underpredicted in a lot of areas, it's even more amazing how the GFS and NAM computer models took such a large shift to the north with this storm compared to a couple of days ago. This goes to show that these storms are still unpredictable no matter what computer models say. Even now they're (GFS/NAM) trying to bomb this out into the 980's and 970's just off the SC coast!

[TWCToday]

Which means more snow for me I hope Winter Storm Watches for the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

[WeatherWitness]

Final Totals from Yesterday in the Dallas-Fort Worth area:

11.2 inches of snow (12 AM Thursday to 12 AM Friday)

12.5 inches of snow (4 AM Thursday to 4 AM Friday)

Any snowfall record in Dallas, TX was smashed yesterday! Yes, I am really excited.

Here's a snowfall map of how much has accumulated over North/Central Georgia. 

[TWCToday]

Very impressive

[toxictwister00]

Very impressive

Very impressive indeed! I'm still in shock over the 8.6 inches in Columbia,SC! The one place that wasn't forecasted to get much of anything until the last minute. The roads around here are horrible especially side roads, I wouldn't dare try to drive around until now since it's around 30° so raods are starting to get wet. Even the weekend OCM at our NBC affiliate Chris Holcomb was stuck on a I-85 access road for 5 hours, he barely got into work in time for the 6am newscast this morning.
