Wintry February 7-8 Winter storm

[LovingGulfLows]

KATL had snow mixed with the rain 9:25-10:40 per this but 5 warmer than NE ATL I suspect due to prevailing S to SE winds (see below) that PDK didn't have as their winds were mainly calm not allowing warmer air to move in. I think that made the diff rather than heat island. I'm still looking for any past S/IP accum at KATL with S prevailing winds and haven't found yet:

I think it was a combination of Southern winds and the in-situ CAD that was in place prior to the start of the precip. Someone posted a map of the wetbulb temperatures where you can see this. It was below freezing in the north and east metro areas and above freezing in the south and west metro areas. Some of the model runs last night had taken notice of this hence why it was trending poorer for the western parts of the Atlanta area.

This was a map about an hour or two before the start of the precip in the central Atlanta area. Quite frankly, it's bizarre to see a temperature gradient look like this(most o the time when you do, it's because of a strong CAD in place). Usually, the freezing line SW to NE or W to E.

Light snow showers. Whoever wants them can have them cause I only do big dogs.

One of ur funniest comments yet

lol is that why you always start a thread for Northern Wilkes light onset icing events? ?

 

[NCSNOW]

You guys/gals with snowcover. TONIGHT is a Snowmoon. Literally thats what its being advertised as in the news. Should appear super bright and full. Enjoy

 

[k0skinne]

Over in Jasper, GA. Have not measured on ground, but this is right at 4 inches on the railing ... Great event!!!

 

[atlweatherman]

Well, that was fun tracking this mini snow storm and seeing how it played out, I ended up with 3" which was a over performer. NWS and local TV mets were calling for a dusting to 1" for my area. Glad I got 3" of snow instead.

Hopefully north Georgia and the Atlanta area can score with snow again before the end of winter.

I think there will be a greater, longer lasting snow storm sometime during the last week of this month or sometime in early March that could possibly impact a larger area.

 

[superjames1992]

Mostly cloudy here in Winterplace. Good snowcover at least. Hoping to see some snowfall later. Just a few flurries so far. Did my first ever black diamond this afternoon. Pretty good snow conditions.

 

[Webberweather53]

You should give Georgia a shot if you have the time. That would be cool.

Thanks. I'm gonna play around with some python code I've made to see if I can blend the state maps together into one image.

Or how about both?

EDIT: Also keep in mind, not everyone in the Atlanta area got snow.

 

[stretch46]

Thanks I was definitely planning on doing at least NC and SC but I’m intrigued to see what GA would look like too

Here in far NE Cobb County, I finished with 2.25". Love seeing all the pics and reading all the observations. Glad for all that got some and hoping those that didn't get some soon!!

Sorry dog every man for himself.

Simply shocked that 3.5 inches of snow is almost gone. I mean my yard is green again. Unreal!

Nice virga storm here.

I'm feeling the utter lightest drizzle outside.

Chris Justus threw in the towel last week. I didn’t blame him.

This aired on the WYFF local 5 o’clock news exactly 9 days ago.

It has snowed twice since then. Two times

 

[EV/WS]

Congratulations to all that got snow today. Very happy for you.

prove it lol
