We've been switching p-types all morning in Gatlinburg but its finally all snow with decent flakes. Just in time for us to leave.
I'm about to go up to Ober with my kids and they're so excited it finally switched. Now to see how long it lasts!
my yard is similar to yours with about 1/2inch+ more sleet, still sleeting, heavy sleet!
Congrats to our friends to my east, next time, it's our turn to your west
A couple of early LSR from FFC this morning:
Elberton 0.25 of ZR with ice on trees and roads.
Sky Valley so far has been the big Georgia winner with 7.5 inches of snow.

Morning update
- 1 gate on Mathis Dam open and river is up
- The roads are very dangerous PLEASE stay home and do not try to drive
- Many roads still have trees across them and the trees are laying in power lines.
Georgia power outages: 4000+
Habersham HEMC: 2503
Again, please please please stay home and off the roads.
And a check on the Helen, GA. cam shows snow on the roofs and minor accumulations on the ground but roads appear clear.

Measured 5” after compaction in Cary. The rates between 3-5 am were amazing. What a nice start to winter
Man it was close. It was pounding snow for several hours. Sleet worked itself in on radar, then it changed to heavy 32 degree rain. We had an outside chance of keeping that CC line to our south through the early morning. Oh well. Not bad for Dec 10View attachment 8975 For posterity! It was so close to amazing here! Stuck at 34, what might have been!
I think the freeze line ran *just* south of I85 overnight - had crazy amounts of sleet overnight with a low of only 32 (at my location never went lower than 32.0) - this system with a *little* lower temps would have been historic for GA/SC

Ice never made it far south. NAM was bang on in regards to precip types. HRRR and WRF models were poor....had ice going deep into the Atlanta metro.
Man look at this cam right now:

Still snowing and it's blowing around like crazy in this town.

7.5" of snow in west Raleigh. Mostly snow with a bit of sleet at the top.
Just measured 3 different spot and came up with 12", 11 1/2" and 11". Where I shoveled my steps off at 8:30, there is now another 2-3" on them
