Wintry Jan 2-4 2022 Winter Weather Event/Obs

Welp, we're not getting a 3/09 and any accumulations for our backyards is a stretch. That said, yeah, I'll be up late watching obs and radar lol. You know, hoping for that tail end of the deform band to thump is for an hour or so.
Yeah, I’d be ecstatic to get a back side thump!! We’re so due on this side of town…weather is cruel….I’ve fantasized over land in Waleska, Jasper etc…..
 
Yeah this is something I’m surprised hasn’t been mentioned more. I’ve had 2.3 inches of rain since 6pm Friday night and the creeks and streams close by are now swelling up. It should be interesting to see the drought monitor when it updates this week
At least a 2 category improvement for many of us I think.
 
Man, did you see those modeled 50mpf wind gust over our head right as the upper low is going by? Yeah, if there's ever a chance for some crazy, unexpected upper-level low shenanigans, this is it.
Yes, I’ve recall an overnight event from early 80’s where we received a very hard, wind driven and fine (in terms of flake size) that quickly accumulated for a very brief span. Maybe a 1/2 -1” during the complete 1 hour to hour and half span. It snowed sidewaysmanority of the event but was enough to get us out of school come mng?
 
GSP just put 1-3 on my forecast for Brindletown and has Little Switzerland at an 1in I'm confused. Something I miss?
 
More returns popping off In central miss

I like that you said “popping off” yea the UL energy still behind. Bhm needs heavy rates from now until that Piece gets here to cool and moisten the column before the UL gets ramped

True but for a lot of East AL, it matched or exceeded the blizzard of ‘93. Not really a good event to use as a analog. Most of the time when we do well it’s with a true Miller A that stays a few hundred miles off the coast.
What our issue going to be vs Bham over in Gadsden, etc?
 
Spann just went live on FB. He was actually pretty bullish. Said he wouldn’t be surprised to see some convection. Also thinks there will be a 3-4 inch total somewhere on lookout mountain or far NE Alabama.

Let the dynamics get this baby rolling after dark.
 
Few sleet pellets mixing in now
Not surprising the 850s temp is right on NE Border with MS/AL right now and speeding up toward the SE so as more cooling mixes in downstream show have more snow come in but hopefully for you guys that front whips around with the night hours cooling
