I'm going to go back to just reading NWS discussions, looking at PSU ewall, and watching the Intellicast radar.
This is good too!! ⬇⬇⬇Haha those ewall maps. You should treat yourself to the ncep site
Garbage in , garbage out
Yeah, the 25° ERA5 snow totals are really bad for specifics. I would plot the more high resolution one if I had the time.That March 2009 map is wrong.
I didn't see one flake of snow from that storm.
In fact, I'm pretty sure it overdid it in at least my county (flakes did fly west of me, but I'm pretty sure there was no accumulation anywhere) and at least up to Evans north of me (I vaguely remember my grandma talking about seeing a little snow involving this, but she also saw no accumulation).
13 year old me hated that system.
2010 ended up making up for it in a big way though.

Yeah it feel during the day in West Georgia. I remember the ground would get covered with a heavy burst of snow hit, and then it would melt a lot until the next burst of snow. I'm sure 2 or 3" accumulated in total, but it was never that deep at any time. Maybe 1/2" or so was the most I measured.That storm was also kind of deceptive in GA since it fell during the day there with above freezing BL temps, and so the total snowfall was often significantly higher than the maximum snow depth. You had the trifecta of harsh sun angle, warm BL temps, and fairly warm soil temps in GA, only salvaged by the heavy rates. In NC it came in after dark and BL temps were near to slightly below freezing for most of the storm, so that helped accumulations a lot more up here.
There were still parts of GA that made out well with it, but that really killed accumulations in the ATL metro since I recall the rates being more spotty there, and so accumulations were severely limited by the aforementioned factors.
It’s going positive tilt....?Gfs back to its bullshittery View attachment 55294
Great storm in Simpsonville SC as well! It turned to snow at about 3pm, we picked up 7-8” of cement! It was great!March 2009 was a great storm IMBY in Greensboro. One of my favorites. My first big storm since joining the weather forums, too. It was a beautiful heavy, wet snow. We had advantageous timing with that one unlike our friends further S/W since it rolled in after dark and we got all our snow in during the overnight hours without the March sun angle and marginal surface temps fouling things up (like happened in parts of GA). Of course, it being March, it melted fast, but you can’t win ‘em all.

I've tried to forget it. I could literally see the snow from my house as I sat at 33 with rain.I wouldn’t feel bad, it seems even the people who are older didn’t remember this one!
Classic setup for a mega frost this morning. Shrubs were coveredMega frost this morning! About a dusting.
Nothing like some homemade frost cream to start the day, what y'all didn't do that?!Classic setup for a mega frost this morning. Shrubs were covered

Thats how we roll down here!I smell a Fail coming on...
Yes, it was! The most snow I have ever seen in Atlanta.It was pretty crazy.
I can tell you my story. I was a freshman in high school in 93. I remember Glenn Burns talking about it. My cousin was staying with me and my grandma. That week was crazy. We had thunderstorms that you get in the Summer the beginning of the week (Monday) or a few days prior. By Friday, my cousin and I were watching Glenn Burns talking about the snow and we both said that we going to school next Monday. We just knew nothing was going to happen. So, after about 1am, we went to sleep. I woke up maybe ar 5am and looked out of my window and didn't see anything. So, I knew it was a fluke. I went back to sleep and a few hours later, I woke up and saw the snow (it was daylight) and said Holy ----! (sorry moderators). My cousin and I ate breakfast and headed out the side door. It was bitterly cold for Atlanta standards. The wind was blowing pretty good and you couldn't see 2 feet in front of you. I couldn't see the houses down the street. I had just had my hair done and wasn't about to ruin my hairdo. My hood wasn't what you would wear in snow. Anyway, I'm 5'0 and that snow came up to just above my knees. We walked to the the bus stop (top of the hill) and we couldn't tell if we were in the street or on the hill where we caught the school bus. It was so much snow. We had a ball. Never forget that storm. Sorry for the long post.I just can’t imagine it. What’s your story?
Yes! First time I experienced thundersnow too.We lived in Druid Hills at that time, I remember walking the street with my dad and brothers with snow to our kneecaps. That was the 1st snow storm I saw lighting an heard thunder. Snow drifts had to be 1-3 ft in areas. My dad recorded it and I need to find that video. I just wish I was older at the time.

Indeed, unfortunately I'm starting to allow myself to get sucked in. Must.......resist....I smell a Fail coming on...
Why do we bother?If we get the moisture it’s gonna bring clouds and warmth. If we get cold from radiation cooling it’s gonna be too dry. So we need just a few showers to form exactly at 6am till 9am. We can do this.
Some high quality colombian blow should clear that right upI can’t get rid of this damn semi-permanent wintertime sinus infection, I had it last week, it’s going away now it’s coming back, my sinuses are making squealing sounds
I need updates about wilkesWhy do we bother?
Monitoring for thunderstorms this Friday night means huge snow threat within 7ish days. Better hope you get thunder and intense lightning.I need updates about wilkes
What type of lightning should I be looking for? Heat? CG? CTC?Monitoring for thunderstorms this Friday night means huge snow threat within 7ish days. Better hope you get thunder and intense lightning.
