Wintry Dec 8-10th Winter Storm

[GeorgiaGirl]

GFS showed just under 3 feet accumulation for Mt. Mitchell. Road trip?

I've thought about chasing this year (still don't have the go ahead to try overnight and won't until I talk to a friend) but I don't know about chasing in cases where the snow might be measured in feet. This one, I'll have to stream from my laptop if it works out.

Reality check Upstate!

We had an additional 3" of snow from the upper level low last December after the initial 9". So upper leve lows produce, and provide cold pockets.

But what would the temps be like for those areas under an ULL? Are we talking marginal temps during the daytime?

According to the GFS, most of the snow from the ULL falls after nightfall in GA.

In all my years,of living in GA I dont recall one time getting a good snow from an ULL.

I got 6 inches from the 2009 ULL including thundersnow.

Still wanna see more cad signature (which I think we will, the GFS is going to be the last to catch up). The upper level low on the backside was a whole new wrinkle the way it was shown. Either way this could be a very good thump for the Carolinas initially, and if we get the energy to close off and sit around it’s going to pop another coastal low.

GFS run looked a little colder at the 850 level and the ICON, one of the warmest outliers, trended significantly colder/south. Nice consensus starting to form and I expect things to trend colder.

ICON 6z run

ICON 12z run

In all my years,of living in GA I dont recall one time getting a good snow from an ULL. ULL seems to be feast or famine. Some get a lot, others nearby get nothing.

My avatar is actually the radar of the March 2009 ULL during the heart of the storm.

If your post got deleted you can cuss me, I did it..... just trying to clean it up and keep it crisp. If I'm being a jerk it's not intentional just trying to be consistent ( shhh I even deleted an admins post )

Mitchell ends up with anywhere between 4 to 5 inches of QPF based on the last GFS run. Nearly all of that would be snow.

I got a half inch even though we had thundersnow also. I think about 6 inches fell out of the sky but very little stuck. I blame the March sun angle.

Oh my bad met I forgot not to mention 2014

Nice!!! My finest memory of an ULL. It was mini repeat the following year on 03/12/10.

He used to live in Carrollton, not Atlanta. As I said in banter, people will remember storms on a basis to basis for them usually more than anything.

Carry on, folks.

Flurries for my area, I wasn't talking about Nashville.

Wow, that GFS run looked great for NC. Can't complain if you get above your average snowfall from one storm before December 15. The models have all been very positive today for here.
