Seems like those first few bands are getting tapped out as they cross the border.

They’re stouter on the FFC radar. Regional radars are struggling to pick up anything beyond close range. I assume this is due to clutter from the snow but just guessing.

The Athens airport (on the east side) says dew point is 35° with temps at 34.

Snow continues to fall pretty heavily on the west side I'm hearing reports that folks on the east side of town are seeing rain

Very light flakes on the east side of town. Watching this area of heavier precip to the south of the Athens area. We will see if it holds together.

I'm on the northeast side of town. (Athens Tech area) it's been all snow since it turned from sleet. Big flakes sometimes. Tiny flakes now but steady. Accumulating on all surfaces but still melting some.

What's that about .25-.3?

 

[J.C.]

The issue here is we just haven't had the rates we first had with the changeover. I should have been brushing off an elevated surface every hour to take a measurement. I would speculate I've had between .5" and 1", but the rates are not enough to do anything but keep a perpetual coating on elevated surfaces.

32.4F/31.9

32 on the nose. Noticed everything was dripping when I went out for pictures. Lots of pines snapping though

Brad P. says it’s unlikely to get above freezing for the Charlotte area. Super windy here.

 

[tractor girl]

What are the accumulation totals like in North Georgia like around Gainesville to toccoa?

 

[ATLwxfan]

Every single short range hi res model says more to come.

Yeah in that neighborhood. I wanted to get a few more measurements in the open but it's ripping fatties of rain drops

 

[crecre9]

Wonder if we may be done here for a while… melting away pretty quick

It's all melted here. Up to 36.

 

[JimRussell]

Sure feels like it’s over, got a good 3 hrs of heavy snow but not much accumulation. Now it’s all rain

 

[FallsLake]

Finally getting some freezing rain. Still some sleet mixed in but this is the transition for me. Temp is up to 29.

Roads bad:

 

[Dawgdaze22]

All snow now in Hiawassee!! Let’s cool this column and get some accumulation

Gfs once again correct over the euro for my area. started off with a quick half inch of snow around 2Am but quickly turned to sleet and ZR. Supper happy for south and North Carolina peeps who got some snow for the first time in a long time. congratulations!

 

[LovingGulfLows]

Really wish I got a coating of ice so that it makes it easier for snow to accumulate.

 

[Showmeyourtds]

33.3 here. Steady snow has been falling for the last 2 hours- just need higher rates.

Yeah the flakes are dandruff sized and there’s not any mixing going on which seems to indicate temps are good for snow. But the rates are just so light it’s really melting quicker than it is falling at the moment.
