Are you getting the ole dreaded pixie dust snow?

Yup. I was always concerned about that in the back of my mind. It's really not my favorite setup to get a good snow

I mean I've been saying for a couple days I thought tomorrow night would be the real peak and I mean the models still look good into Sunday morning but I just dunno if the extreme totals can verify if tonight doesn't pick up more

Like I saw people talking about it ramping up after midnight if anything it's gone poof since midnight haha

Yeh man, it's the worst IMO. We had that here in Cola with last years snow event. I am sure it adds up quick when you can fully saturated the column, but man we had that for like 12 hours straight here in SC last Winter with the Gulf storm & it added up to a wopping 0.9 of an inch.

It's funny to me as I sit here and think about it now but like the last few years this has pretty much been the busts here. When it was hyped up as some big blizzard and it was Arctic air. Last February comes to mind

The good ones were the surprises which this has been anything but...

I mean tomorrow night could still go off if you believe the models. I'll withhold further judgement til I see how that goes haha. We got a long way to go for sure

The biggest storm I've seen here is in the 7-8 inch range so that's kind of my base line minimum that I wanna beat if possible given we still have 36 hours of snow to go

At least I'm at home and not somewhere spending money!

Saying it’s the worst might be a stretch. Haha
Worse is 33 rain or nothing falling at all.
 
the worst snow to me is when you get snow ripping in late February or march all day long and nothing even attempts to stick bc the surface is 35 degrees. Those are heart breakers bc you always have that hope that rates will overcome in your mind.

I hate dry snow. It takes forever to add up and always seems to underperform
 
Best snow of the entire storm as the first round ends haha

Maybe tonights round will really add up because I'm only seeing a couple inches here so far. Im not the biggest fan of dry snow

The dry stuff is my favorite kind, where it blows all around from the ground upwards into the street lights. No water in my snow! Most seem to like the more pasty, stick to everything snow though
 
No lie, my nerves are so shot right now for ATL! I hate these types of storm. ZR scares me alot. One plus, I live near the airport, but I am scared this is going to overperform. Just pray for less qdf for everyone and more sleet for everyone to lessen the ZR totals.
 
Absolutely insane how consistent it was from way out. It ran circles around every other model and across the entire map too.

The changes over time looked like resolution detail refinements, not fundamental shifts in the pattern, phasing, amplitudes, etc. Really impressive.
We wont know the end result until Monday, but agree, just in watching the model runs over this past week, I felt the Weathernext was the best of the bunch with being quicker to lock in and the most consistent once it did

Seriously. Crazy we’re so close and the models all say different things for how much ZR we get… anywhere from 0 to 0.5” or more

Just be glad you're not on the Northeast side of the Metro. You'll be fine. Some ice but nothing major.
 
I’d be so pissed right now if this were snow. Gonna be a non event for Columbia. What little we do get will thankfully melt tmrw afternoon.

Only God knows what kind of precipitation and the totals we are going to get. This storm has been a tough one to forecast and as you said, the models have a wide range of solutions. I wish you and everyone the best possible outcome your area.
