Going back and forth with snow and sleet. Power starting to flicker, on the Durham/Orange county line.

We were oh so close. Stayed between 33.8 and 33.3 for most of the night with a rain/sleet mix in Dahlonega. The sleet is just now finishing melting off my deck. There was enough accumulation for the dog to go sliding through it first thing this morning when he went out.

I think the freeze line ran *just* south of I85 overnight - had crazy amounts of sleet overnight with a low of only 32 (at my location never went lower than 32.0) - this system with a *little* lower temps would have been historic for GA/SC

Do you have power? Ours is out on the Cleveland road side of Augusta. I think a transformer went.
 
A friend of mine up near Lynchburg VA posted this on her Facebook a few minutes ago - really is the best way to chill champagne for mimosas...

I measured 2 inches in the hood of my car this morning. Not bad considering we are nickel and dimers to begin with. I have a feeling we will break our 6”+ losing streak this year

Hard to have a good ice storm at 35 degrees?!!! School already called for tomorrow! I think it’ll be closed through Wednesday, IMO! Nice 5 day vacay for them!
 
78000 people without power in Greenville county alone!!
 
I've been at work all day but goes without saying that the freezing line in N GA didn't get as far west and south as I thought. My low was just 33.2. Not the biggest letdown granted I was only thinking a light glaze here but to not really even come close, (I thought I'd at least drop to freezing kinda shocked me). I suppose in the future, we need to realize here in the NE Metro area that if the temps/dp's aren't low enough upstream in the Carolinas to wedge in, then it ain't happenin' for us. Lesson learned I suppose, but still sucks.

Question for you Emory, how tall are the mountains in N Ga?

The highest point, Brasstown Bald, is 4,784 feet above sea level. Neels Gap where Walasi-Yi is located is near Blood Mountain which is 4,458 ft and is the sixth tallest peak in Georgia, just to give you some idea. Georgia especially in the NE corner has some decent elevation but still less than North Carolina or Tennessee. Blood Mountain by the way averages about 35 inches a year in snowfall.
