This is the first thing I have heard about accumulation, I wasn't expecting 4-7 inches!

Keep us updated Jacki. Looks like a doozy for you. That same system looks to potentiall bring us a little ice. I don't know where that came from either :roll:

So far this morning: clouds! But it's on it's way!

Posted: **Tue Mar 04, 2003 10:48 am**

We have another day or rain here in central FL... then 3 or 4 days of 85 degrees

Posted: **Tue Mar 04, 2003 5:02 pm**

Well, it's started! It's coming down pretty good, but small flakes, nothing major yet. Soon, very soon! hehehe

Posted: **Tue Mar 04, 2003 5:06 pm**

hehe. we have 85 degree temps here for the next 3 days

Posted: **Tue Mar 04, 2003 5:08 pm**

Grrrrrrr....., lmao

Keep us updated dear!

hope you get to take some nice new pics. The only pics I can take right now is of my swampy backyard (you may wanna send that frog of yours over, he will be right at home!)

Posted: **Tue Mar 04, 2003 7:01 pm**

LOL, I bet! We already have an inch of new snow on the ground, and it sure is comin' down! I went to the store to grab some more batteries for my camera so I don't have to drive again tonight! It was already slicker than s*it! hehe

Well, it's rather cold and I didn't feel like "suiting up" to go outside right now, but a guestimate from looking out the window, I would say there is at least 3" of snow on the ground, and still going strong! Shoot, I don't even think the best of it is here yet! The wind is blowing, looks like a whiteout! Doozy indeed!

Posted: **Tue Mar 04, 2003 10:01 pm**

Ok, just measured, 4.5" and still raging!

Posted: **Tue Mar 04, 2003 10:59 pm**

We've officially had more snow in my backyard than the other storm, 5.5"! Yippee! It's a sight out there, that's for sure, but I'm not going back out until tomorrow morn!

Posted: **Tue Mar 04, 2003 11:04 pm**

Dont forget to post some pic's. I cant wait to see. I dont blame you for not wanting to venture out in that!

Posted: **Tue Mar 04, 2003 11:34 pm**

LOL, first thing tomorrow morn I'll brave the cold to get some new pics!
