Yeah I was watching yall get screwed with snow bands and dry air. Could’ve been a lot better. It’s probably more like 3 inches out here now, NW flow is cooking here and there.
One person on here in Atlanta claimed they had 5-6" ?
Yes. They like to cook the books any way they can. They should take a certain radius and get official measurements within that area to make their call on totals. It’s like me measuring every one of my snowfalls from the same spot in my yard year after year only now I have a big tree growing over that spot but I take the readings there anyway because I can’t use common sense
Not good here on qpf out ahead of the warm nose. That was the difference between 3-5 and 1-2 for us. That fronto band did wind up stalling in ga and taking away qpf from the upstate Friday morning.
Bad. Here's the final snow map from Jan. 9.
I am in midtown. I did a measurement on our rooftop (31st floor) and we had 3.4" of snow. So, I am guessing 3" in the city or so, I don't know why they use the airport, which really isn't even near downtown honestly.
I wonder if there was more snow on the 31st floor than there was at ground level ?
That’s the thing about models often they are right for some and wrong for many. I’m sure euro AI did great for someone but it was poor for the Carolinas. Same for rgem. NAM did great for Carolina it seems as well
Nailed the footprint really good, probably to far south with transition line ,espeacilly 2cnd part storm as it got all the way up toward MT airy briefly. Those AI models locked on an never waivered. Physics models bounce every which way as they zero in till last second.
The Atlanta airport is only 10 miles south of downtown so I’m not sure why that would make a big difference in snow totals, but i guess in the south every mile matters.
It did't seem like it tbh, I just wanted the best spot where no one had trampled it yet LOL. I doubt it made that much difference.
The airport is generally warmer though than the city. The entire time they were reporting 34 I was at 31. I think it skews snow totals down there imo. No proof to this though LOL.
How old/depth? Maybe it can be saved if the Taproot is okay
I think it made a big difference in 1993, and in some other storms. But not always.
Yes, it was me, and we did. 5.5 inches. Take it or leave it. It's still covered this morning.
The euro ai did very good. Those snow maps posted from storm vista include ice/sleet. We don’t have sounding data from the euro ai(that I’m aware of), but it very well may have shown the 750-825mb warmnose.
The 1993 total was an utter joke.
You are the big winner in Georgia. Congrats.
