No doubt overnight, a mesolow type structure causes backing of SFC winds SW to S across SC early in the overnight. It was still 52° at KCHS at midnight.

Hi from Keysville, GA. Just rain right now but I did see some snow try and mix in while driving.
Can't believe I'm doing this, but I am going to attempt to drop down to Wrens.

It appears per radar that Augusta might be about to get hit hard with something!

My rule of thumb with these overrunning type events that like to trend north at the last sec is take the warmest model and lean hard in that direction
That seems to have held true again here despite the NAM being cold for once

I have learned to never underestimate your ability to nail a forecast. You have done this time and time again here in the Carolinas. Much respect! On to the next one.

I Did see an area that tried to be all snow, but with where I'm stopped, it's more rain.
Gonna try and proceed further west,
Ofc, I say so and more snow is mixing in now.

Thomson has changed over based on sensor network. So augusta probably will within the half hour.

Wild stuff. That certainly qualifies as a major snow. Tenille, well east of macon is 33/all snow so that area is going to do very well too.

Ok, this was completely worth it.
In the Wrens city limit. There is heavy snow right now.
I'm just going to try and figure out another way back as that drive wasn't fun.

The area around Hawkinsville is getting it pretty good
Steady cooling now at my location in Lexington, SC
39.7°
Honestly a little surprised we’ve dipped sub 40

its on the other side of saluda, its close 850 about to come over and we just hope for the best band development
You are going to rub this in until the last 40F rain drop aren’t you…
I admire your relentlessness for central NC pain.

it was surprising how fast the temp dropped here. It went from 38 to 33 in about 20 minutes. The magic temp seems to be about 36.5 to 37 to see a changeover. It was here.
Radar indicates your area about to start getting a nice hit with whatever.

Looking at GDOT cameras the cutoff is very sharp just west of Madison on I-20. Snowing in Sandersville but not in Dublin. Still wet in Thomson
