Wintry Jan 15-16 Winter Storm Discussion & Obs

[Ward Cleaver]

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.

Hopefully getting into a transition here on the Cobb/Pauling line.

Temp and DP have both dropped 10 degrees in the past two hours and light snow is falling.

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.

Got about 3 inches here in Dahlonega. Now just rain as temp is 32.9.

Is it likely to stay above freezing then and remain rain, or when qpf picks up, will the temps cool again?
Winds still crazy-44.3 gust a few minutes ago!

 

[Arcc]

Rain snow mix here.

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

Amazing to see ULL in action just south of Birmingham. You can see it rotating through the area.

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

 

[No snow for you]

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