Hixson Tn I measured right at 4.1 imby before sleet freezing rain compacted it. Not sure what CHA reported.

Four inches here -- two miles east of downtown Atlanta, about a quarter mile south of I-20.

Please provide support for the statement that, on January 11th, the rest of January is "cooked". Furthermore, what then gives you an idea that we have "one last shot in February"?I think we have one last shot in February but the rest of January is cooked unless you are in the mountain. Also early March is too far out to tell we shall see.
One thing that history has proven is not only that early March is too far out, but often NEXT WEEK is too far out to make definitive statements like this. We may not get another flake of snow the rest of the winter, but I will take the way things are shaping up for the rest of January over what we have seen for most of the last 5 or 6 winters.
Which part? It looks pretty accurate for Huntsville, Birmingham, and Tuscaloosa.

so 0-1" for the Birmingham area is accurate ?

Certainly an overrunning potential for someone 1/20-1/22, looks like the SE ridge moved further offshore allowing the cold air to move eastward.

A fine balance between too much/not enough cold air and amount of moisture with potential waves along the frontal boundary. EPS trend wasn’t bad though I guess. Need to see how this shakes out going forward.

Around 30 or so members showing measurable snow for GSO 1/21-1/22

Maybe in your area but it is nowhere close to being accurate here. There was not an area of 4" across central NC.
NWS used to put out totals map, maybe they've forgotten how since it's been so long. But seriously there has been some confusion and misinformation out there. For instance, Kat Campbell Met over at WRAL posted on FB that Roanoke Rapids was the winner with 3.5", I promise you that's inaccurate. Then the NWS posted this (which also is inaccurate)
Then Brad P posted this which has some official amounts and is probably close to accurate but differed from NWS map

Brad's map is way off for my location, (I wish it was accurate, lol). That 4 inch report in Easley, SC is bogus. 1.5 inches fell there. No one in pickens county got 3 inches except maybe the 3000ft peaks.

I think a couple of NWS RAH's GIS / map guys who really put in the effort have retired / moved on somewhere else. I've commented to them before how much I miss the old maps, but they probably aren't coming back. @Webberweather53 maps are better anyway

Thanks! I should finally have enough time today to do some post event analyses for these last 2 storms. Life has been hectic for me lately.
No, looks like 3-4 to me

Not accurate for city of Ttown and Northport. My FB feed is flooded with pictures of 1.5-3 inches of snow. Pickens county has 2+. Interesting how sharp the cutoff line was. I’m 5 miles off 1-20 in western Tuscaloosa county, west of the river. I had barely a dusting. As soon as my husband crossed the river on Hwy 11, ground was white and got deeper into Tusc county. All my students in Northport had their first true snow day with big snowmen, sledding, etc. it was awesome!!

not sure which thread to put it in so pardon me, but what made the cold outbreak so accurately predicted a couple years back in Oklahoma and Texas vs what we’re seeing now. Why was there so much confidence with that outbreak?
My tempest shows an average temp of 33.4 so far this month. Pretty impressive start to the month.

HRRR has Atlanta getting ZR and Sleet in the morning. Something to monitor today.

2 PLUS INCH SNOW REPORTS WERE SEEN WELL SOUTH OF BIRMINGHAM AND ANNISTON
Here's what the FFC said about tonight.
FFC:
A weak shortwave trough will track rapidly along the Gulf Coast
during this period. Lift from the trough should promote light rain
showers across central and southern Georgia. Preceding forecasts
have mentioned the potential for patchy light freezing rain in
central Georgia between 2 AM and 10 AM Monday. This risk appears to
be falling as models continue to slow the onset of precipitation and
increase surface temperatures in response to expected cloud cover.
The area under threat is also shrinking, and is now generally
confined to locations south of Newnan, west of Macon and north of
Columbus. Forecaster confidence in the occurrence of any freezing
rain is < 10%. The majority of the rain showers with this event
should occur Monday morning in central Georgia. Total accumulations
in the 0.01 to 0.15 inch range are anticipated.
NAM also had something for tommorow but was more warmer then the HRRR. 
Just for fun at this range, but that HP courtesy of Siberia would have to be a record high pressure that far south, no?
Notably the HRRR is verifying too cold. NAM is more realistic honestly for tommorow morning. Here's the highs per the HRRR.
So far this winter has exceeded my expectations. I had snow flurries & snow showers to start the week & a legit 3-4 inches in my yard to end the week. I'm ready for more dont know when we'll have it this good again

Long story short... Consistency in extreme solutions
You could tell it wasn't your ordinary cold snap
Well have to see if we get that here. It will take several runs showing the same thing
If the GA thing gets some traction on the 12z runs I'll start a thread
Icon interesting in the morning. Snow on snow for the new snow capital of the south 
My backyard snowpack could use a little freshening.
If the Euro shows that, could get interesting.
RGEM has a few hundredths. I’m slightly intrigued. This is the kind of thing that could absolutely cause havoc on commutes if it overperforms

Yes, I saw those. My sister's house in Birmingham got 3.5" of snow.
You can start to see showers coming off the gulf right now so this may verify..
Gotta love the weather apps on our phones LOL. it's suddenly showing 1-2" of snow late tonight and in the AM LOL. That is not happening.... cloudy at best is my call. Where do these weather apps pull their forecast from? There isn't one model showing snow tonight in ATL.
