I retitled the thread, lest we remain 11/15 until 12/15.   

Noticed that WKRN has us at 40% chance of snow for Monday.

I don't think that is snow. The forecast high is 54.

I don't think that is snow. The forecast high is 54.

It sure looked like flakes on the plasma this morning...when I saw the temps, I thought the same thing.  But hey, I woke up with a migraine this morning so I am libel to see/think/hear/smell/taste ANYTHING!!! 

Like banjos....I hear banjos consistently...

[Clay]

I know what you mean. I was probably "seeing" snow flurries the other day the everyone else got a flizzard except me. 

[servocrow]

Don't feel bad Clay, we didn't get a flizzard either...unless it came in the dark of night whilst I was in the dead of sleep.

I figure if we can lock onto the next storm system with enough confidence, we can create a new thread.  Two weeks away... it's still all deliberatin' and a'theorizin'.

But, yeah, this thread was about the system this past weekend, which did spit out a few flurries.

[servocrow]

TS, maybe we can start giving our systems names once they start manifesting...

Naturally..I think they would all have to be bacon/pork-related though.

I'm dreaming big!!

Ohhhhh nooooo! Dont say 40% chance of snow and stick a knife in my heart 3 seconds later and tell me the high is is 54. 

 A pre-thanksgiving snow would be something I personally have never seen!
