Wintry Machine Learning Mauler 1/30-2/1

As cold as it is both at the surface and aloft, given the wind direction right down Lake Lanier, I would think areas on the east side of Atlanta proper would have some lake-enhanced snow bands. Radar is going to be fascinating in the morning here.

Not something I ever give thought to since the conditions for such are so rare. Thoughts?nam4km-sfct_b-imp-us_se-2026013100-16.pngnam4km-850th-us_se-2026013100-16.png
 
The track of the surface LP, off the NC coast especially, will decide things for eastern 2/3rds of NC. Was talked about earlier today.
 
I’ve been at my daughters 10th birthday party all night and I'm trying to get all the kids ready for bed so I've missed a lot. What should I expect it of this storm in Lewisville, NC (Forsyth County)?

Ella Dorsey from ANF was talking about the same thing during the evening news, but when I first heard what she was saying, I thought immediately that she had seen the long snow squall that is supposed to form in that region and misinterpreted it as a lake enhanced band due to its vicinity to the lake. I think some minor enhancement is plausible because of just how cold surface temps will be going over the lake, and not to mention the wind direction should be decent relative to the axis of the lake. Alabama seems to get decent lake enhancement off of some of their smaller lakes during extreme cold spells with low cloud cover, although their lakes are generally larger. My thoughts would be that some places downwind of the lake if enhancement occurs could see up to a few tenths of an inch of increased accumulations, but overall I just don't see the lake being large enough for much more than that.

Well you’ve missed a lot my friend. Cold rain for all of Forsyth.

That band seems to be intensifying that’s about to slide through

It's super interesting how even the most meager radar returns are reaching the ground in many places. I suppose it's a combination of sublimation rather than evaporation and a lower DGZ than we're accustomed to down here.
