Preliminary Snow Reports for February 25, 2015


 

...HISTORIC WINTER STORM OF FEBRUARY 25, 2015 COMPREHENSIVE UPDATED SNOWFALL REPORTS...

ALL OF US HERE AT NWS BIRMINGHAM WOULD LIKE TO THANK OUR COOPERATIVE WEATHER OBSERVERS, COCORAHS 
OBSERVERS, AND SOCIAL MEDIA FOLLOWERS WHO CONTRIBUTED TO THESE SNOWFALL REPORTS. REPORTS SENT TO 
US ARE NOT ONLY ESSENTIAL DURING THE ACTUAL EVENT, BUT ALSO FOR DOCUMENTATION ON THE HISTORICAL

CENTRAL ALABAMA HISTORY DUE TO THE NUMBER OF REPORTS THAT WE RECEIVED.

THE REPORTS BELOW ARE THE MOST UP TO DATE TOTALS THAT WE COULD OBTAIN. HOWEVER, SOME OF THE 
REPORTS OCCURRED BEFORE THE SNOWFALL ACTUALLY ENDED IN SOME LOCATIONS AND AMOUNTS MAY HAVE BEEN 
HIGHER. WE ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO SUBMIT THEIR STORM TOTAL SNOWFALL AMOUNTS TO OUR SOCIAL MEDIA
