Wintry Jan 15-16 Winter Storm Discussion & Obs

We just took a drive for the past hour or so. Nothing at my house despite snowing all day. The temp dropped down to 32 just north of Acworth with a good coating near Mars Hill. Drove down through north paulding and found about an inch at Burnt Hickory on 61. Came back home and there was a dusting within 1/2 mile from my house. Just a few white spots now showing up here at 33.

Drove from d'town kennesaw straight into d'town Acworth. Night and day difference. No snow in Acworth. Trees and all fairly well covered in Kennesaw.
 
No snowcream today. Only Slush Puppies. I went out to clear off the deck and front porch. Measured between 3.5 and 4 inches every time. I'm calling it 3.75" of snow/sleet accumulation. No freezing rain yet, and it doesn't look like we are going above freezing like all the models had. The hrrr is finally backed off of that. Pretty incredible that the ice accrual projections were all wrong and sleet saved the day. I imagine we will get a little freezing drizzle as things wind down and maybe a flurry for the finale, but I'm so relieved that we avoided the huge ice storm. The extreme wind gusts were brutal, but they are starting to die down now too. Huge bullet dodged!

Sound about right for our backyard, @NCSNOW ?
 
Ripping still in Alpharetta

I'm not confident those bands will verify here in all honesty. I feel like we are just about done here in the upstate. It is lightly flurrying here in Simpsonville. Feels like the end.

It felt like the end for me too. The sun came out while it was snowing. Thought it was a wrap but NOPE! Snowing away!!??
 
Looks like this event is coming to a close. Looks like maybe 1-1.5 inches on elevated surfaces. Could've been 3-4 inch at night with temps at or below freezing. Was still super nice to look at....snowing for 5-6 hours straight was cool. Hoping next weekend delivers more though and I can actually get my entire backyard completely covered with snow.

I'm actually surprised you got as much snow as areas further north like Forsyth County.

Yes Sir. I was most likely seeing drizzle about 20 mins ago. That was the only time it could have possibly frzng rained, but was so light. Dodged a big one staying all sleet as you said. Heckuva a sleet storm. Im ready for another round next weekend,fingers crossed.
 
Been fun y'all weenies.

While I didn't get the elusive big dog IMBY, I'm pleased with the outcome regardless. It was nice to see some actual snow for the first time in quite some time. And, it doesn't hurt to know that next weekend might be the ONE.

Congrats to all who scored their big dog, and to the rest, I'll see ya in next week's thread. Cuz ya know you can help it either :D
 
Well that’ll do it for my area aside from maybe a few snow flurries. Definitely under performed from morning forecasts of 1-2” and got the shaft with the dry slot. Grass is half covered but nothing on cars, rooftops, pine straw, and roads. Still was fun to track and exciting so see the snow.

Hopefully next week is the one for the I-20 corridor from BHM-ATL-CAE.
