I woke up this morning, and noticed a Winter Storm Watch alert on my phone. When I went to bed last night, our forecast here was for a dusting of snow on Thursday and a coastal storm being too far offshore to hit us on Saturday. The National Weather Service's criteria for a Winter Storm Watch is 6+ inches of forecast snow in these parts.

When I checked my phone to read the alert to see what changed, it was for the South Carolina Midlands again. Apparently an inch of snow and 0.1-0.2" of ice in the forecast for Thursday night into Saturday qualifies for a Winter Storm Watch down south.....
