The wind is picking up in East Cobb. Has been for the past 45 minutes or so.
I hope all of you NC folks get clobbered. Lets make this an epic once in a lifetime storm !
You think that will ease on down in southern tennThis part of Arkansas has been getting pounded for the last few hours with no end in sight

A timely reminder on how ice accretion is measured...

My freezing line prediction is somewhere from Cherokee (perhaps very near or east of Canton) down to Alpharetta to Norcross to possibly as far south as Snellville and on eastward from there. That is usually the "wedge zone" that does best. Anyone else have their own prediction or does mine sound solid?

Calling a bust just when an event is unfolding? Bold move cottonJimmy, why do we always fall for this crap! Cold rain special coming, it’s a mind numbing 39.4 degrees now! Just screams record setting snow and sleet storm!

Great weather posts, y'all. Be safe and keep them coming!
Just a steady rain and 41 with my weather station here. Y'all remember to have everything charged before tomorrow. Could be interesting times!
Take care all!

RAH has me right on the 4 to 8 line.
Only a slight change in forecast snow amounts with the heavy wet snowfall axis of 8 to 12 inches expected to along and north of I-85, with the predominate p-type expected to fall as mainly, with diabatic and strong dynamic lift/cooling supporting a deep near
freezing isothermal layer. Lift and saturation will begin to wane 21 to 00z, with p-type changing over to a light freezing rain/drizzle
overnight. Ice amounts are expected to be less than a 0.10".
Just south of this heavy snow area and west of US 1, snow amounts of 4 to 8 inches are possible, with the bulk of the snow occurring
through mid to late morning. Then as the warm air aloft spreads into the area from the southeast, p-type is expected to change-over to freezing rain, with a 0.10 to 0.25" of freezing rain/ice possible through the afternoon.
If the change-over to freezing rain occurs quicker than forecast, snow amounts will be less, but ice amounts could easily exceed a
0.25" of an ice. Ice/freezing rain amounts combined with wind gusts in the 25 to 35 mph range will cause widespread damage from downed trees and power-lines.
Finally, east of US-1 and south of I-85, warm nose spreading into the area during the mid to late morning will result in a sharp NW to
SE reduction in snow and ice amounts. After a quick morning burst of snow and/or snow-sleet mix, which could bring 1 to 4 inches of
snow to the area, a brief period of freezing rain can be expected before changing over to rain. Little to no ice is expected.

As far as ZR/IP line, maybe a bit west/south of that/.. Canton/Stone Mountain/Conyers/Madison/Washington line.. I m basing on where precip increased all day long, so something is forcing right through there.

I can confirm now that sleet is mixing in with rain where I am.
If the temp can drop a little more maybe we can get snow perhaps a hour or 2 early than current forecasts

Will be interesting to see the sounding later this evening (~8pm or so) from Greenville-Spartanburg, should provide a decent idea on how well the CAMs are verifying against actual observations aloft of the warm nose.

Yep, not sure what to expect here in Mooresville... Hoping I am a little safer than Charlotte Metro but you never know. That warm nose on some models was pushing up quite high.
