My best guess would be that but I'm a bit too far north for Allatoona and west of Lanier with the winds not due E. Could also be some river effect or something. I'm interested if anyone around here also saw this.

Nothing over here on the other side of Lake Lanier. Interesting indeed.
 
8 degree low in chapel hill this morning. ’feels like’ -4. had to wake up several times to keep the wood stove going as i don’t have central heat. my weather proofing upgrades did well this year in this drafty 120 yr old house. i feel for those without resources and adequate abilities to stay warm. Brutal cold.
 
After a short venture outside, it occurred to me how unusual it is for it to still be this windy now more than 24 hours following the arctic frontal passage. The 2nd day is usually cold and still this time of day. Brrr.

I'm tempted to run over to the cold spot by the train tracks to see if it is doing its usual cold spot stuff

@WeatherNC The cold spot is cold spotting this morning. Made a run over to the trash site and as I was in the fields approaching the train tracks the temp went down to 15 and as I crossed the tracks and into the trees one minute later it bumped to 18.

So it also turns out through some absolutely unknown means we got a light dusting of snow? It's on the cars, in the road, rooves, grass, everywhere. Nice surprise after I looked out the window. View attachment 128472

Wow! Nope, no snow here. We bottomed out at 3.6 though.

Had to drive from Jasper, GA to Dahlonega and back this evening. Left around 10:30 and returned about 20 minutes ago. On return trip west of Dawsonville started noticing fine snow …at first thought just dust because there are several marble quarries on the route. It picked up. Temp on car ranged from 4 to 2.

Here is a pic … totally surprised. First time in my life to see snow at that temp. And not really forecasted.

I agree... I remember the 1983 X mas Freeze that started over night the 23/24 and did not get above freezing until the 27th (KATL) was Very Windy Saturday (24) and it died down Sunday AM (25th).. After that was typical "Clear/Cold/Calm" for this area
 
It's going to be painful watching this system dry up and go poof on its way SE :mad:
