Snow in Mississippi
Winter Storm Iago Named today (17 January 2013)
Here is the link to the weather.com article : http://www.weather.com/news/weather-winter/winter-storm-iago-20130116
"We expect the heaviest accumulations, 6 inches or more, to be in the higher elevations of the Southern Appalachians.
Parts of Mississippi, northern Alabama and far northern Georgia could see anywhere from a dusting to a few inches. Wet pavement could freeze into patches of ice (black ice) on roadways Thursday night into Friday morning.
Up to 4 inches of snow was reported in central Mississippi on Thursday morning."
This is due to the low pressure system we saw yesterday that is moving through the South and following the jet stream on up through the north east.
