Wintry 1/9-12 Winter Potential Great Dane or Yorkie

Paulding County GA schools are cancelled tomorrow. What we know so far is that NAM botched Texas pretty bad 24 hours out and it's been the more head strong version over past 2 days of limiting stuff in south. Several Meso/Global models are actually now breaking together toward the long standing Euro AI solution to be honest which is a pretty big event and yes I am sure they are seeing the stuff in Dallas and realizing it's definitely overachieving and just the past several hours of model runs and think we will see some verbiage adjustments away from NAM soon

Can it be a thread for school closures and stuff instead of putting it in the weather discussion thread here??

Interesting. I just checked the update and it’s still saying 5-8 inches for Huntsville. Will somebody a lot smarter tell us where in the models are they seeing 5-8 inches please?

Yall ain’t gonna like this.. but from what I’ve seen in this thread.. the counties bordering FFC’s watch need to have a winter wx advisory.. that is at least very plausible at this point.. them dragging feet is causing angry parents.. why?? I’m in education. Retired, but subbing.. our system (Troup) made an announcement that they would make an announced decision at 130 today.. doesn’t have an effect on me….!but these parents fuss if school is closed, fuss if it’s not closed, fussed they told them too late notice.. etc.. so why is FFC clearly dragging their feet?? If a WWA was issued, schools wouldn’t have to meet with Local emergency management at 1230 to make their own decision..

Very true ... as a retired educator I understand completely. The schools will catch flak no matter what decision is made ... I joke that the main role of school is childcare lol. It is important to make a decision relatively early in order to give parents of young children time to make arrangements. With digital learning days now an accepted option, this should take some pressure off systems in deciding whether or not to cancel school. While my opinion means absolutely nothing, I really think at this juncture even Troup will cancel school ... no one wants a repeat of what happened a few years ago when students were trapped at school in several metro Atlanta areas when that storm rolled in a little quicker than anticipated. And based on what I have seen this morning, I could see a Winter Weather Advisory issued a little further south than the current watch area.

Well, FFC is the honey badger of weather offices. They march to their own beat and that's that. I have seen snow get to the doorstep of Georgia and they only then would pull the trigger. Before I get eviscerated for this, there is a clear history of this. All of the multiple snow jams, etc.....

This post is 100% accurate! I've lived in GA for 33 years and this has ALWAYS been the case. It's very frustrating.

The euro just produced that for a large part of its forecast area . 06z eps matched it . The gfs is close to keeping the nw part all frozen .

There will be a WSW issued for my county with the afternoon package no doubt.

Any of the following is forecast in the next 12 to 24 hours:

3” average snowfall in a county in 12 hours (2-4 inches in forecast).

4” average snowfall in a county in 24 hours (3-5 inches in forecast).

½” or more of sleet.

¼” accretion of freezing rain on elevated surfaces.

Significant impact events (heavy, wet snow or a mixture of snow, freezing rain and sleet) that affect transportation, commerce, or electrical power service.

This is the best radar we have seen in years, looks gorgeous for a board wide event. Having said that, if this what we end up with, I will be very disappointed for my area given this look.

Really hoping the Carolina's can get in on this more; we've been skipped in a lot of these going back to Feb 21 and we want a turn. Lets bring some of those bigger totals east for a change. Need a colder press with less mixing but still keep the qpf.

It’s honestly a miracle this is even possible with an awful low placement to our south and no high pressure feed. We are about to connect gulf moisture to lakes moisture and still manage to get a winter storm out of it. This storm is reminding me that our ceiling is still high in the future if we can get most of the boxes checked.
