Wintry Jan 15-16 Winter Storm Discussion & Obs

This dry slot is real though. And with all the mixing in Mississippi, what’s to keep that from not being an issue here?

Our temps here are colder. Most spots are in the mid-upper 30s out west towards MS and AL. Just need that cold air behind ULL to filter in and get rid of this warm nose.

Seems rate dependent here as well.

I think the snow is over. Now we need to hope the sleet holds on...

 

[iGRXY]

ULL is definitely moving due east. Precip is not pivoting based on the radar. I think chances are increasing for another burst of a couple hours of snow on the back end for folks along and west of 77

My best friend back in Greenville is confirming this to be the best snowstorm since we were kids. I need numbers from the upstate crowd?

I would say a solid 5 inches off of Augusta road in Greenville

 

[Dewpoint Dan]

I do believe I'm hearing sleet in West Georgia.

 

[MSnowAtl]

Pure sleet at ATL airport/ South Fulton

 

[iGRXY]

4” Spartanburg
5-6” Greenville
5-7” Northern Spartanburg co
3-4” Clemson
5-6” Pickens

Got a friend that lives right by Main Street in Spartanburg saying they got 5.2” so far so definitely an over performer.

Trying hard to be patient as I wait for the backend snow to begin. Really hope I don't get burned here.

You and me both. I can here ip pinging

More cold air here as a result of the wedge....as soon as 850 drop below zero, we will get snow here....all models have been consistent with that. The problem with parts of AL/MS is that it's not cold enough closer to the surface.

Well the good news is the 850 temps are crashing to our west 0 C line is right on the AL/GA border.

Ok so just a question of qpf at this point and the dreaded dry slot.

Zero snow or other frozen precip in Athens GA. Currently 34 degrees with dewpoint still at 32. Strong gusts outside right now. We are projected to get 1" wraparound later today.

Just wow at that cold pocket over MOBILE! That should rotate into Georgia as the day goes on. Interested for sure.

Well after going to mostly ZR for about 30 minutes earlier, it’s been back to pretty much all sleet for the last hour or so and it’s really getting heavy. We did get a light glaze on the trees, but now the ground is really starting to whiten up from the sleet. Hopefully we can keep this mainly sleet as the heaviest moisture moves through

Temp-26
DP- 24

Yeah, I'm way more worried about moisture at this point.

 

[bingcrosbyb]

Snow falling in Clanton, AL about 50 miles south of Birmingham

 

[jrips27]

3K NAM just dropped a widespread 2-3 inches across metro atlanta over the next 12 hours. Hope springs eternal.

 

[LukeBarrette]

Took only 10 minutes of moderate snow to cover the roads. Incredible

Looks like a couple pingers mixed in in Woodstock. Crazy that the airport has changed over before we have ?‍?
