Looks to be some very very light returns over Atlanta right now. Doesn't appear that anything is reaching the ground from what I can tell.

Yeah, the airport is reporting freezing drizzle/fog again right now. I got some light returns over me, but I’m not seeing anything so far.

UK has been steady bringing snow all the way to the coast. I would be interested to see a forecast sounding from that model to see why its missing the warm nose or if its just counting all frozen precip as snow. It would be awesome if it verified, but it's really the only model that shows significant snow here at the coast.

It is because these UK snowfall maps are counting all precipitation falling with the surface 32 or colder as snow. Your 850s don’t get down to 0C until the very end of the precip.

Alert:...LIGHT RAIN MAY CHANGE TO LIGHT SNOW AND LIGHT FREEZING RAIN
TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING FOR PORTIONS OF EAST CENTRAL
GEORGIA WHICH COULD CAUSE SLICK SPOTS ON ROADWAYS AND OTHER MINOR
IMPACTS...
Tonight, temperatures following a cold front are expected to fall to
near or below freezing for the majority of north and central
Georgia. This temperature drop will also coincide with Gulf moisture
overriding the cold air with light precipitation expected for
eastern and southern portion of the forecast area. Areas in East
Central Georgia are the most likely place where the combination of
light precipitation and freezing near-surface temperatures could
overlap going into the evening.
With wintry precipitation being extremely sensitive to small
temperature changes, there is still some uncertainty on any
locations and specific accumulations, which would mostly be confined
to grassy, metal-type and elevated surfaces. However, a period of
mixed light precipitation, possibly changing to all snow is
likely somewhere along and east of a line from Helen, to
Lawrenceville, to Covington, to Milledgeville. Any accumulations
are expected to range from a trace up to one-half inch could be
possible, with very isolated locations up to 1 inch not out of the
question. For areas south and east of a line from Sandersville,
to Eatonton, to Jeffersonville, to Eastman could receive a trace
to a few hundredths of an inch of freezing rain late tonight into
the early morning.
Overall confidence is low and residents and emergency officials
should remain alert and be prepared for possible snow and/or ice
accumulations, especially over parts of middle and east central
Georgia. Even small amounts of ice can cause significant impacts
such as slick roads and power outages due to icing on trees and
powerlines.
 
Figured I talk about this interesting quirk here...

So, my internet might end up struggling some today. It's going to be one of the coldest daytime winter days that we've seen in quite a while and lately, when I've woken up on cold mornings, the internet has been dodgy for us. My dad's theory is that the tower gets frozen when it's cold. If it's the right theory, the internet might struggle today.

Woke up to a temperature of 38, it might be 36 now. Gonna be an interesting day, hopefully.

May not be able to help myself if things work out well, I might choose to step outside tonight and see if I see something.
