How is it 28 in Atlanta and 54 in Columbia ?

I think Atlanta barely got the edge of the arctic air mass.

Right.... I think that CAD is going to be colder than expected for ATL on Thursday I feel a cold 36 to 38 cold rain!

My location did not get above 26 today (27 at the local airport NWS site). That means today has been the coldest day in my lifetime for the Baton Rouge area. I have experienced colder, but in other places. Let's see if I can get anything out of the next storm.

After a high of 39. We are already down to 24 with an icy west wind.

This is not that uncommon. You have now seen what affect a range of 5000+foot mountains to your northwest can have on the climate at CAE.

Heck. It is 64 at North Myrtle Beach right now. It's 21 degrees at the summit of Stone Mountain just east of Atlanta

I’ll happily take today’s event and cash out on this winter, especially considering I was hours away from finally becoming a black ice weenie...what an amazing surprise!

I don't think I've seen a day this cold without much wind in a while. Our afternoon high was 27.7 and the top gust on the tempest was 7.5mph. It is sheltered a bit but still. I also don't see how I don't hit teens tonight with clear skies.

So I'm at my low already (24). What're the odds it goes lower? Every single model doesn't have me at my current temp at verification (GFS 29, HRRR 28, NAM 27)

If the winds shift back from the south to southeast temps could fall slow or hold steady. You sitting in a lower protected area will probably drop some. My are will probably hold steady like the models are showing.

I’m at 24/19. Either way should be a rock hard freeze tonight.

Please explain?? You have been trolling all day.... Let's play a game you and me.

I never saw you show back up to finish the game....

Lol, at work... But since your asking. Had .3 inch of freezing rain on trees and a good inch of snow on the ground right now. So I would say that is a win. Never got about 33 degrees yesterday.

I think my high was suppose to be 32 but we never made it... currently 25 degrees

I don’t think that was the disagreement....but ok.

 

[Mr. Golf]

Hi guys. I ended up with 7.5 inches yesterday in jonesboro. Not bad considering it was only 10 degrees and snowing ??. I expect 2-4 inches the next few days. Nws believes 4-7 but we will see. The sref says 8-10, but I definitely feel that's overdone.

 

[ATLwxfan]

Perplexing that we go from this to cold rain tomorrow
