West Haralson County close to the state line. Changed over to light snow about an hour ago, flakes are nice size. Temp around 34°. No accumulation yet. NWS has us forecasted for 1-2" of daytime accumulation.

Sleep mixing in with flurries, it's coming down extremely hard right now

I gotta say I was starting to wonder if it could even snow again in my neck of the woods. It’s nice to see it can still happen...although it seems it has to be a near perfect set up with some luck.

Flakes mixing in with rain and sleet in Athens

Mostly sleet here in South Charlotte. Doesn't look like I got too much snow but it is white covering the ground. Not much ice in the trees which is good.

Two things I’m noticing right now

1. It really is looking like to me that CLT metro and north might be able to avoid a major ice accrual. This sleet is holding strong as they column remains below freezing from 925mb down. By the time soundings are supportive of ZR, the dry slot punches in and precip becomes more scattered light or freezing drizzle..

2. Looking at water vapor and radar, it really seems that the ULL is moving further south than modeled and hasn’t cut NE yet. There’s an old saying that “an Upper low is a weatherman’s woe”. They are hard to predict and we’ve seen some do some crazy things compared to forecast over the years.

Doesn’t freezing drizzle accumulate faster?

We switched over to pure snow in Athens Georgia

 

[Snowflowxxl]

Ripping here now, easily best rates of day

 

[TigerStrong]

It's been primarily sleet here SE of Uptown Charlotte after about an hour of light snow in the beginning. Luckily we've had very little freezing rain so far, so it's been better than expected so far. Probably over two inches of sleet now.

 

[bud006]

All snow now, big flakes. Ground starting to whiten up a bit more now. 31 degrees.

--30--

 

[lusting4Adusting]

It's literally the only cold core low in history that has a moderately warmish core. lmao

 

[Chattownsnow]

Mega wedge!

 

[NickyBGuarantee]

Certainly would think with all this sleet and an already slightly coated surface as soon as the Freezing rain kicks in it won’t have a problem building up

 

[Oconeexman]

After 3-4" of awesomeness we've had a pile of sleet and zr. Had a little break now sleeping again. Temp 29..backside action to commence.
Neighbor had a big tree blow over right behind my shop..luckily only damage was fence.

Heavy sleet and windy. 19.6°
