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

[LovingGulfLows]

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.

i mean I would imagine all the aircraft activity probably produces more latent heat near the surface and generally warms up the airport moreso than the surrounding areas. Just a theory though.

The big bad sun has unshaded asphalt covered areas nearly melted off already.

Would be nice if we had one of these where we didn’t get to 45 the next day.

The late night stuff that came through Statesville made a decent difference.

The best kind have the Storm day, Then everything gone after 2 days. then don't see another one for 3yrs

 

[superjames1992]

Just snapped a couple photos. Massive melting going on, the tree is dripping so much now it sounded like heavy rain. The road is melting so quickly in the sunny areas. Why couldn’t we get a cloudy day in the low 30s after?

Not enough snow to bring out the sled, either, which is kind of sad. I had gotten it out of the shed just in case, LOL.

Still dark gray overcast in ATL ..

My thoughts exactly. I've noticed I am generally a 2-3 degrees cooler here in midtown then the airport, esp in the fall/winter. Spring/summer its not as noticeable but usually a degree or so cooler sometimes. Looks like the airport is 33.4, I am at 31.8 right now.

I’m a snowcover weenie, so I like when it sticks around, LOL.

 

[iGRXY]

Officially at my residence we finished with 2.1” of snow, 0.4” of sleet, and 0.3” of ZR.

 

[LukeBarrette]

This NW flow here is legit.

I do seem to remember that in the January 2011 storm, the airport reported 3” while pretty much every report in town was in the 5-8” range.

Front side hits are always better than tail end hits....wasted a week of solid deep cold...

 

[Billypg70]

I had close to an inch of snow maybe just over before the 30 mins of sleet then frzn took over.
There was so much ice here.
Probably similar to the pics fro took.
This wasn't a memorable enough storm to take pics.
I was disappointed that it snowed from 11 Am til 4 and we couldn't accumulate more than an inch after that amount of cold air & cold ground!
Also how much the frzn cut down on my totals !
Better than nothing but not what I wanted after close to 3 years!

 

[Thor]

Ice and Palm trees Don't mix well

 

[wow]

So, it was a surprise Great Dane for some and a little Yorkie to others in the end lol

 

[LithiaWx]

Still hovering around 32 with a nice glaze still on trees. Quite a bit of snowmelt as well.

This was from 10:45am today.

Well we had a dam Chihuahua

 

[CltNative90]

That’s what I’m hoping for. We had about a half inch of NW flow here Wednesday night that I wasn’t expecting. Short range models show some light powder through tomorrow mid morning.

Been getting light to moderate bursts all morning and returns look good back into Tennessee.

Ended up with around .23 inches of liquid precip yesterday. Measured an additional .02 since midnight. At most, I probably had about 1.5" of snow, packed down with sleet, then a solid glaze of ZR that's still hanging on the trees. Thankfully our home in Cherokee county is in a community with underground utilities. Tenants in our East Lake home in Atlanta let us know that they lost power last night. Thankfully no major damage from falling limbs.
