Sun seems to be doing work in the Atlanta area based on a quick check of webcams. Imagine it’ll only be the shady spots causing issues tonight

This just goes to show, the west coast of North America has gotten so comfortable having the trough and the cold dump out there year after year after year after year. Well, it didn’t this year. Come get your snow. It’s laying on the gulf coast.

Took the train from Durham so I could work as I travel to Charlotte today and the yadkin wetlands were mostly frozen along with lots of ponds in the woods. Looked almost like New England

I used to work for Norfolk Southern... apparently that Terminal in Linwood was built on a Swamp. Many a Freezing night in that area. Did you take Amtrack ? My last ever trip we hit a car right there at that station dude was drunk and got stuck on the tracks and ditched the car. We were headed to Selma

Pretty sure this is the same system. Seeing model outputs trying to go as low as 930
I had to drive around midtown earlier. There was a metric crap ton of salt on the main roads. Only on the rarely used side streets was there any issue.

A few roads were closed in Wilmington today as they were impassable. One of them is a major road and I'm sure caused major headaches
@Disco_Lemonade you see where they had MLK shut down?

Working on the post event snow map. Should have it done shortly
The local news just said Charleston got 4 inches and that ranks eight largest snowfall in history...hmmm. I think it depends on what part of Charleston you were in. It was sleeting until 2:00 a.m. so it must have turned into a heavy snow if it did that.

Here's the preliminary snow accumulation map for North Carolina.

Officially the NWS picked up 2" of snow/sleet from what I've seen..
Edit: 2.8" officially at KCHS WFO.
(0.9" Tues, 1.9" We'd)

Pretty normal in these set ups, somebody with elevation that didn’t have to wait for the last 2,000 feet of air to become saturated. But far enough south to be in the precip shield that passed overhead.

My 2.5 inches fromILM hasn't melted a bit. No grass showing, no shrinking edges still full snowpack

Roads are still a mess here. Probably 1.5” of sleet on JI and maybe 1/4 or 1/3 of snow at the end. James Island Connector still closed because of ice.
Shady spots are still well covered. Easily the snowiest walk to class I’ve ever had which isn’t saying much

You know you got something when you can sled down your steps! 29.8 after a low of 12.5.

This is what real cold will do to roads. When it takes 2 hours to start sticking on the roads versus instant accums. We are cloudy today so the sun won't do as much work on the roads as it did yesterday afternoonMy wife sent me these, the roads on her drive in to work.... yep her school system opened today.

One more post for the road...
My dad is claiming 0.39 total liquid for the storm.
I find the claim to be very skeptical though even though he explained why. It's probably more likely we were around 0.2 QPF at the most, maybe a little lower.
I'd say the snow that saw full sun is pretty much completely gone, but it held on well in shady spots. If I didn't have to work, I'd have probably walked towards near the wooded line again this morning.

I took this image from my backyard a few moments ago, we are still holding on to a rather extensive snow cover here in Eastman. My final measurement for the system ended up being right around 5.5 inches. The only other time that I have witnessed more snow in my lifetime was from the March 2009 ULL snow whenever I was a student at UGA. In terms of records, this snowfall was the second biggest ever recorded in Dodge County, GA. The only storm that eclipsed the totals from Tuesday was the legendary 1973 event, this storm produced at a rate that eclipsed around an inch more in most spots than the February 1914 system. I cannot express enough gratitude to everyone on here that has put up with all of us Deep South posters complaining about not getting snow, I hope that certain sections of NC and other points that have largely missed out this winter get pounded before time runs out.

A few more pictures from the event before the melting process started yesterday. A frustrating storm to track but glad to see alot of the coastal areas score a good snow event!
Why did GSP even bother?

Looks like they purposely are underreporting to match their forecast with that map. I got 1/4inch in Clemson for example and they have nothing there. Most of anderson county and southern greenville county got .5 to 1 inch of snow, but looking at that map you'd think it was mainly a trace that fell. Also probably worth making a map for the event when it had high impacts, (100s of wrecks, abandoned cars, etc that night in anderson and greenville county). Will be a good lesson for them when deciding whether or not to issue products for a light event under those circumstances.Why did GSP even bother?

Just took a walk around to see the state of the neighborhood, overall roads are still ugly around here and have yet to even hear a snow plow.
