Wintry Jan 15-16 Winter Storm Discussion & Obs

I have lived in Gilmer for five years and a couple of takeaways this storm has taught me. If a progged storm is CAD dependent, forget about it. Eastern Gilmer has too many mountains with some over 4,000 feet that keep CAD working its magic here. We flipped to snow briefly at about 5:30am and the dryslot moved in. Temps soared from about 35 to about 43 in one hour or so. It is just now back to around 39.

The mesoscale models picked this Gilmer County anomaly well by the way. I just thought I would overlook it. LOL. Big mistake.

So for the couple of folks in this area, we do better with clippers than most. Miller A's can be rocking. CAD events suck balls.
 
Freezing rain with 1/10 accretion here. Switched to sleet. Deck getting covered. It was a mix of Fzr, sleet, and snow at times during the night. Snow made it to Northern Laurens County area of Gray Court-accumulation. Winds picking up and I can hear Pines falling. You can smell Pine in the air. Clinton just south of 385/26.

This is exactly right. The spine of the tallest mountains is to your east and southeast, so it would have to be a major CAD that extended into Alabama to reach western Gilmer. The backend should drop some now there though.

33.4/32.9 with IP/RN
 
A friend just texted me and said WYFF4 just said downtown Greenville has only gotten 1-2 inches. Wtf that is 100% wrong

20.3/18.1 Larger flakes than earlier. Heavy snow.

I’m hoping that my more northern location keeps me at snow longer. Not expected to get above 28 at the surface. It‘ll all depend on what’s going on above me.

Where are you at in the Triad?
 
At the moment, very disappointing in Jasper. Still hoping for something later. Temp never fell below 35. Snow would mix occasionally with rates. Wedge just couldn’t get here. East and north parts of Pickens Co county have some snow and ice. Some road closures for snow/ice and down trees.

Hoping ULL will bring the goods here. Congrats to you all who have scored!!!
 
“Blizzard “ lol Heavy snow 19.5/18
