That is stunningly beautiful, use to be a ski resort and quite a good one as well, really looks like some big flakes and starting to accumulate, I see a foot here at least..Snowing pretty good Sky Valley
Sky Valley, Georgia - Resort Cams
Located in northern Georgia, this webcam is located at the Sky Valley Country Club golf course and features amazing Smoky Mountain views.www.resortcams.com
I have 44.6 here. My thermometer is proven accurate too.
Looks like it'll top out about 5 degrees below the forecast high. The less work for tonight's wedge and dynamical cooling to do, the better.
17z RAP at hour 21 (I'm still hopefully for a couple hours of snow):
Now that’s a face I can trust. Packing my bags and heading home now because Scotty is calling for a mountain dusting.

For us in North AL, I still don't understand why we're not under a WSWatch if both an advisory & warning is an upgrade from a watch. It makes no sense.
We better hope so because if we don’t get a at least an inch or so I would be really worried about our ice threat as I think this quickly goes over to freezing rain

Been at 41-43 all day (42.6 rn) and my dew has been sitting at about freezing all day as well. The HRRR is busting high on the dews that's for sure.
Mt. Oglethorpe is in northeastern Pickens Co, GA just outside of Jasper. I had heard that there were a few flakes up on the mountain earlier today honestly didn't believe it. Temps in Jasper were around 45 and we have had light rain with winds out of the SSE. Jasper, Ga is around 1,500 ft of elevation. Heading out of town about 10 minutes or so up the mountain, it rises to around just under 3,000 ft as you cross into Dawson County. There is a road that goes up along the spine of Mt. Oglethorpe and climbs to around 3,270 ft or so.
I decided to drive up around 12:15 or so. Temp dropped to 34 degrees and we had a small flizzard around 2700 ft and it got a little heavier as we turned up the road heading to the top. Nothing sticking ... even on roofs, but cool to see. I was surprised to see it at this point.
Here is a brief VIDEO taken. Good luck to you all you fellow weenies! Stay safe, warm, and hope your power stays on!

That back end precip is no joke for us in central Alabama. Waiting to see what the HRRR does on the rest of the run.

Is it me or does this just seem already further west and south of most models?

It appears we going to level off around 48 here. Drove through Fayetteville and recorded 49 there. Now down to 47 at the house. Still not very windy.

So if I can tell this right, for my area and those around me, it will be all snow at the start aside from maybe a short drizzle as the rates pick up. Goes to sleet or zr right as the dry slot moves in. As the precip moves back in, we'll go to Sleet then areas outside of the deeper wedge will go to ZR. As the low passes through ATL or south of it, we'll see a rapid changeover to snow with a band that will see some high rates. Where that sets up is unclear but for those who want to see accumulating snow outside the CAD area, that's your best bet. As soon as that low transfers however it'll dry up fast and the storm will be over.

Looking back at the 12z NAM/WRF/RGEM models (h5 maps) it is slightly more SW into TX than those models have it. (19z this afternoon)Water Vapor Satellite Loop for United States | Tropical Tidbits

I hate to think about the 'jump' when the transfer happens. It's gotten me several times where I've had snow to my West and East with barely anything here because it takes place right as the changeover begins. That's why I'm hugging the HRRR. If the NAM plays out I expect that transfer to effect North & mainly East of Atlanta where the West side may actually luck out. Models aren't really showing it but that's my experience. I do not want to have to count on back-end snow.
Interesting, probably lots of graupel in this type of setup with the front end thump 
Creeping south&west again. It's going to be a sleepless night.
45.5 240pm. That should about do it for the high.
