[SimeonNC]

36.5 rates have lightened so I don't hear any sleet atm. Waiting on a changeover to snow like this reminds me on January 2017

 

[NWCummingWx]

What were you expecting at this time lol?

Heavy snow of course! I suppose the earlier drop in temp had me excited but for the last hour and a half I've gone nowhere (when your temp stops falling ya panic!). Kinda frustrating, but ah well.

Though the wind has picked up over the past several hours out of the E and NE the change in temperature and dew point has been relatively negligible across North Georgia thus far.

To illustrate here's a list of stations across North Georgia and their respective readings at 7PM compared to the previous four hours.

Athens 39/37 E15 G24 (Four Hour Temp Change -1, Dew point Change -1)
Atlanta 41/37 E20 (Four Hour Temp Change 0, Dew point Change -2)
Blairsville 39/37 E7 (Four Hour Temp Change -1, Dew point Change 0)
Canton 39/36 E 12 G22 (Four Hour Temp Change -2, Dew Point Change -1)
Camp Merrill (Lumpkin County) 35/35 E5 G13 (Four Hour Temp Change 0, Dew point Change 0)
Chamblee 39/37 E13 G21 (Four Hour Temp Change -1, Dew Point Change -2)
Chattooga (Habersham County) 35/35 E7 G15 (Four Hour Temp Change -1, Dew point Change -2)
Gainesville 36/36 NE16 (Four Hour Temp Change -2, Dew point Change -2)
Lawrenceville 38/37 E14 G23 (Four Hour Temp Change -1, Dew point Change -1)
Tallulah (Rabun County) 33/32 E4 G13 (Four Hour Temp Change +2, Dew point Change +1)
West Atlanta (Charlie Brown Airport) 40/39 E17 G26 (Four Hour Temp Change -1 Dew point Change -2)

It will be interesting to see what happens overnight and how far the freezing line can work south and west.

41 degrees in Pittsboro (Triangle). Hoping the surface temp would get lower and wouldn't be totally reliant on wetbulbing to drop.

 

[SimeonNC]

36.3 with sleet, a CLT poster not too far from me on the other board said something about wet snow mixing in. Also, the r/s line on the radar is ticking south.

 

[D-Ray]

33 now with 1 inch of snow....sleet mixing in now

 

[Webberweather53]

Briefly had a couple wet flakes mix in here before the rates let up now back to a cold miserable rain in NE Charlotte.

Switched back to sleet again as soon as the rates increased, waiting to see if any snow starts to become evident

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

Rain and sleet here. Yay
Rain + Sleet = Rain

 

[ontherocks]

Well, rain/snow, but finally!

 

[ForsythSnow]

I’m a county or so away from you I think and we dropped 4 degrees in like 15 minutes.

Yeah the winds are blasting in hard now. Much harder than earlier and probably gusting to 30 or so. Which direction are you from here?

Sounds like it's making it's way down. Probably a couple hours left.

You can see the path of the strongest winter winds coming straight down towards ATL.

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

Torrential sleet now. Back steps are dusted with wet sleet #Winning

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

Snowline is starting to drop south rapidly. It’s on both sides of me but not overtop

It says on your profile tag that your north of Cincinnati??
Or is their a city in North Carolina name that also??

 

[J.C.]

Highlands is at 4100' and they are reporting ice, so there must be a warm pocket just above that in that area.

 

[SoutheastRidge]

5" already in Hendersonville !

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

33 and snow. Way ahead of schedule. Give me one more degree!

 

[JHS]
