Surface Reports from Ping

Ping is an app used by the National Weather Service to monitor precip type …. you can help by downloading the app and reporting your precip type … https://www.nssl.noaa.gov/projects/ping/   … you can also see the current reports on a map here … https://www.nssl.noaa.gov/projects/ping/display/  you will need to zoom in to get northern Alabama but it should be very useful to see the changeover to snow as it approaches your area and help you plan a little better this afternoon. In the last 20 minutes ice pellets have been reported in northern Jefferson by observers according to Ping …. this usually represents the beginning of the changeover to snow. I will try to post more Ping reports as we go thru the afternoon.
