Wintry Jan 15-16 Winter Storm Discussion & Obs

[Ward Cleaver]

Temp/DP stable at 19.9/17.8. Moderate sleet. Supposedly suppose to reach around 32 by early evening. We’ll see. Temp hasn’t budged much since around 8:00 AM.

 

[Nerman]

Trees have been coming down around the Atl area. All snow here covering the streets.

 

[jrips27]

We’ve got a half inch here! It’s beautiful.

31.8 degrees. I thought we would be closer to 30 by now

 

[FortMillSCWx]

Heavy returns in CLT are now transitioning to FRZ. Gonna get sucky quick.

 

[ga_ben]

We have some graupel mixing in.

 

[Dawgdaze22]

Does anyone know why the temperature is so warm in Hiawassee?

I get the inflow---outflow pattern that is flooding North Central bama with the remnants of the warm gulf, but damn we need this thing to pivot

 

[Branch]

Went to Hiawassee, Ga to see snow and getting all rain while reports come in from Smyrna, Ga of all snow. Ughhh… lol.

 

[StormStalker]

Over two inches here…of rain.

Same. No idea what’s going on but 40 and raining while areas like Roswell it is snowing.

Rates should start picking up around ATL in the next 30 min

 

[Snowflowxxl]

All the models had far N GA getting shafted with the backside. That’s the dynamics of this system

 

[Brandoninchildersburg]

Childersburg Alabama getting it good

 

[ATLwxfan]

It's mindboggling that NE GA is now struggling to get all snow while areas to the southwest are getting snow. Crazy system.

Most spots northeast of town seem to be around 31° or 32° it’s just about convection at this point

Still all sleet here. 27 degrees. Kids outside sledding. 1" of sleet makes the perfect base.

So, you are probably in the same part of the storm we were in around 6am this morning. We shot up 5 degrees but we have since cooled back to 36. We had a warm tongue at 850 keeping our temps up for the longest but that seems to be eroding.....finally.

 

[Wulfer]

It can snow in Chattanooga@!!! Starting snowing at 11:30am in NW Ga.

 

[campamy]

Started pouring snow here a few minutes ago! Deck started slushing up quickly. Now back to a rain snow mix.

 

[Stormlover]

What’s the thinking here for the rest of the day? It’s warming up quite a bit and seems like we have already had the good moisture come through

Not sure. Forecast is 1-3 inches, higher in higher elevations. The higher elevations will score good,but doubtful about lower.

We have to agree to disagree again. Most of the models showed our best chance of snow on the backend for here and further west into NW GA.

 

[Cadi40]

Is it going to get above freezing in Charlotte? Definitely raining now.

 

[SimeonNC]

Very heavy sleet falling rn.

 

[Rain Cold]

Plenty of ice on trees, power lines, etc. here in SE Wake. Fortunately, we're at 31.3, so hopefully within a half hour, the accural will be done and some melting will commence before the big wind gets here.

 

[Makeitsnow]

Finally snowing here east of athens. Instant dusting despite pouring rain all night and morning .

 

[Tarheel1]

Incoming....️

High res models are juicing up a bit also

Power in, power out, in, out, in, out, in, out up to 31.5 though

 

[Tarheel1]

Do these weird bands have a fancy meteorology term? They look awesome!

 

[Chattownsnow]

Curious what’s going on south of Nashville in places like Murfreesboro. Looks like melting snow enhancing radar there but haven’t heard or seen any reports there

 

[CyclonicFury]

Light freezing rain with a little bit of sleet mixed in

Sorry I meant NE GA, or basically the people that already scored this AM

 

[ALHammerWx]

Drove towards north Blount AL and can confirm they are in pound town. And finally moving southward into oneonta

 

[Heelyes]

Still 27 here heavy sleet

 

[LovingGulfLows]

Eastside of the ATL metro is continually getting hit with new banding popping up to the southeast.

 

[ajr]

About 6-8” so far at Sugar. Nice snowfall, but a little sleet mixing in… wind making the sleet tough, definitely need to cover exposed skin. Otherwise awesome ski conditions

 

[BullCityWx]

Still all sleet here. 27 degrees. Kids outside sledding. 1" of sleet makes the perfect base.

I’m pretty sure I’m at about an inch of sleet and an inch of snow.

 

[norcarolinian]

2” snow.. 1” sleet. Sleeting heavily. 19 degrees

 

[HSVweather]

Corinth, MS



It’s still all rain here at my location in Madison, only a few miles away still snowing and sticking.

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

Total mess here, the sound of branches snapping seems un ending, the freezing rain is relentless and the power is out

 

[Flurry]

This has got to be one of the craziest systems I've seen in a long time
