This thread is knocking on 500 pages....still some snow hanging tough in the always shaded areas here in NE AL.
North facing/shaded areas still holding on here.
This is about how we've looked since Sunday here.

Yup the shady north side of my apartment complex is still a sheet of ice here too. We hit 56 yesterday

If it was February or March I guarantee you the ice would be gone by now. The lower sun angle helps keep the ice and snow around longer.

No, it's ground temps. That's the primary factor in keeping snowcover.

Higher sun angle helps warm the ground more
No I’ve seen plenty of February storms that the shady north side of my yard kept snow on the ground for a couple weeks. Happened after the February 2014 storm… I still had snow on the ground there the end of the month

I hope the discussion of sun angle vs. ground temps keeps up for a while. I want to see this thread get to 500 pages.
2hr delay for Grayson county Thursday. Hoping Surry County returns tomorrow
Still patches of ice and snow in the yard. Forgot how long things can stick around if ya get sleet and freezing rain on top of snow.
Wilkes will run on limited bus routes Thursday. 2hr delay Winston Salem

I worked in Winston Salem today and got stuck trying to get back up this hill. Solid sheets of ice still there in the shaded areas.
Still have a half inch plus of snow / now ice sheet on most of the driveway tonight. The adventure is real.

Still can't use the back deck, fully covered with 1" of snow still.
Wilkes County Schools will run on limited routes for Friday. Side Roads are grid locked in ice that face north and have banks providing shade. Some dirt roads also poor conditions.
Today will be a challenge, but seriously wondering if I can officially say last Friday's snow & ice stuck around for a week. Patches in yard still holding on.
500 pages we did it

Still a very icy area here in north ATL burbs. Should last til tomorrow, at least until the rains come this weekend. Wild we will have had snow on the ground for a week!
57 degrees with 25mph wind gusts vs shaded snow...beating it up some but not dead yet.
This one has had impressive staying power in the shady spots. I just took this tonight and there’s still ice on the asphalt!
Yeah the staying power is very impressive. This storm really illustrated that ground temps and lack of sun exposure are more important that air temps when it comes to snow melt. High temps the last 4 days here have been 54, 49, 49, 58.
Tis official. I still have snow and ice in the yard. Naturally fallen, not a snowman or shoveled offside walk. So this past storm left snow and ice on the ground in Atlanta for a whole week!

The fact that there are still snow piles in the Walmart parking lot here from this event is bananas. I can't remember seeing something like that since living in Ohio.

The only time I remember that here was after February 2021

Question for all you guys and gals who know this stuff much better than I do (which is most of you)... I'm curious, how would you rank the performance of the models on this storm starting from 7 days out until the last flake fell at the Outer Banks? GFS/Euro/Canadian/ICON/UKMet
