had a record, 31 degrees this morning. still cold in a lot of spots. not as cold as this. i grew up in buffalo, 23 there. 47 jacksonville, 45 tallahassee. that's a lot different between what you see to the north and what you see to the south. there's also snow in parts of buffalo, especially the south towns. you'll see these streamers as we call them. here's buffalo. that's where i grew up. all the streamers coming across the lake this way. buffalo gets the snow when the wind comes in from this direction, not from the northwest like it is now. the air is colder when it comes in from the northwest. so we see snowflakes in detroit and also up north into cleveland as well. although i don't have one reporting station officially saying snow is coming to the ground, there are white areas, white patches here across the deep south that do show at least some snow on the radar. a lot of that, don, does evaporate on the way down. we call is subliming if the snow doesn't make it all the way down. when rain doesn't make it all the way down, we call it verga.

snoeft. one place that will be hammered is parts of the coast, right here, at least the lake shore near cleveland. cleveland, we have a live tower cam that will pop up any moment. actually, we don't. we have the prevailing wind that will continue to come in from the northwest. with warm water in the lakes, 44 degrees or so, that breeze is going to cause a lot of that water vap bore to con dengs and snow showers could get heavy. if you look at this computer model, you will have snowfall totals in cleveland and back towards erie that could get in excess of one or two feet over the next couple days. the wind gives you the lake effect snowfall and could provide chilly conditions in parts of the southeast. we are going to be chilly in atlanta with a high of 39 degrees. breezy in the northeast and back out to the west.
