Gwinnett county airport reporting rain and 45°

Updated radar FWIW. Looks pretty juicy but need more cold.

I'm amused by the mPing yellow x's in Dallas, GA. I'm assuming they are there to cast shade on the false Woodstock report.

I've got 45 degrees, dewpoint of 28 and a wet bulb of 38. It's gonna be rain, maybe mixed with sleet at onset, most likely.

Sounds about right. Sleet report in Senoia now fwiw

Sleet counts as frozen. If I see sleet at my house, the 2023/2024 winter passes with a C-. Let's see what happens!

Man, these ceilings are so low! Temp dropping at my house. Down to 44.6.

Sleeting at the Cancer Center in Newnan according to a nurse friend.

I think my high was supposed to be 48. It's 45. Don't think it's gona make it.

So many yellow x's showing up on mPing... people getting ready to report the sleet!

I guess there's just a lot of people making sure their app works before the next few hours

That report went from sleet to nothing to rain. Confirmation of my expectations.

I’m pretty sure we are getting very wet snowflakes mixing in with the sprinkles here south of Sylacauga.

The truth about the NAM is it is only right when it shows what you don’t want. It doesn’t matter then if it’s in the pack or completely off in left field alone. It only exists to make you cry….

Isn't this the truth. It can show you a foot of snow 10 times a winter and be wrong. The first run showing a warm nose during a winter storm will be 100% correct.

February 2015 still haunts me to this day.

Just light rain here in Buckhead. Just watched it start and didn’t see any sleet or frozen precip

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Haha - mixed precip IMBY for the win! Probably won’t last long but good to hear a few pingers.

That one and January 2017 were just plain brutal for MBY. My NWS Point forecast from GSP had me forecasted 10-14 inches just a couple hours before precip started… I ended up with a slushy inch as precip went back and forth between rain, sleet and snow the entire time. January 2017 I was forecasted 4-7”, but instead had 12 hours of ZR that accrued to 1/3” then a 1/2” of snow as the storm was ending… there was absolutely no mention of freezing rain in my point forecast, and of course the next day with 30mph wind gusts I had lost power by noon on a day that temps stayed in the 20s.
