This thread is your weather thread as you're in the Local Weather board, but you can certainly post any of your artwork here provided that the weather information is current and accurate.  Otherwise, it would need to go in your artwork thread within the TWC Fan Art board.

Memphis could be picking up anywhere in the range of 3-7" of snow come Christmas night. Should be interesting!

Wow a white Christmas for you guys down south? I didn't know Memphis could even get snow that far south.

In 1967 we got 20" in 3 days. We often get at least 3 snowstorms per year...

Enjoy it, given it's rarity of frequency in the South. Thinking back, my biggest mistake was not taking pictures of our white Christmas two years ago. I was literally still in disbelief as it was happening.

We of course will have our severe weather for Christmas, gee that doesn't happen like almost every Christmas for like the past decade. Ah well at least we get the rain we need.

NWS has bumped West Tennessee totals down to 1-3".

This says it all, in effect for a mere 2 counties north of me.
