For the past week the weather meteorologists have been predicting snow for Sunday night, January 9, 2011 throughout Monday, Monday night, and Tuesday morning. I was a bit skeptical because it never snows this early in the South. The weather meteorologists were saying we could get anywhere from 2-4 inches, then becoming sleet; therefore turning into freezing rain on Monday night. Over the week-end the accumulation increased to 5-8+ inches with a tenth of inch of ice topping it on Monday night. On Sunday, the temperature dropped throughout the day especially after it become dark. Around 11:40pm Sunday night, it started snowing within 20-30 minutes the ground had a good dusting to maybe 1/2 inches.

As of 10:30am Monday morning, Hartwell's accumulation was 7 inches and still piling up. As the afternoon nears the snow fades off into sleet and then into freezing rain as the night gets closer.
the snow was pretty here, but I am ready for it to leave. :)
