Indeed, for a moderate or major freezing rain, it has been since 2/2014 for airport/S and E burbs through Augusta and into SC. The N burbs including Dunwoody (where I was) got lighter ZR but heavier sleet. It was a nice sleet that I believe accumulated to near 1.5”, which was then the heaviest sleet I had experienced in ATL since way back in the great 3-4” 1/1988 sleetstorm. Interestingly, I experienced a heavier sleet than 2/2014 in of all places, here, where an amazing ~2.5” fell Jan 21-22nd, 2025, within my 2.9” total sleet and snow!

I mean we had reliable models showing 2 feet of snow here and I'm just struggling to grasp how we're probably gonna be lucky to get 6 inches haha
I'm not complaining but it's just wow in my head to think about how the models could be that wrong and I really want to figure out why

A lot of the models sucked for this storm overall

I mean the Euro and NAM both had 20 inches here... I remember when you could write a forecast off that combo haha
I'm getting old
I would have bet on that duo too!

And I sat here and trashed the GFS for days honestly when you look back at it... It probably had the more right idea haha. That this storm was never worth the hype here
I mean it's a nice storm but people aren't gonna be talking about it in 20 years. It wasn't historic at all

TWC app has been hilariously awful for this. I know we don’t take it seriously anyways, but still.

I’m gonna be honest, I was pretty depressed over the anemic radar and later start time/drying hi-res models a couple hours ago. But wow…. We have done a complete 180 and are getting 100% nuked!
Delayed but not denied!!!

Yeah same here. We are getting hammered here and just getting started. Moisture returns are coming in heavy now and closing in on a inch of sleet here. Your right. Delayed but not denied.

AccuWeather was a lot better here and it never waivered even when models showed 20 inches. It was always on the low end of the predictions
It may even still be too high but it's a lot closer than TWC. I'll never forget what they predicted
