Just got back to ATL

Breakdown

Leave Macon at 1235 pissed I wasted time.
Starts pouring rain in Forsyth
Switches to sleet near High Falls and is pouring sleet.
Switches to snow around Locust grove and was coming down at a good clip for about 15 min. Was fun to watch.

The rain in Forsyth was POURING at 34 degrees. So close

Is this pretty much all brighbanding or actual heavy precipitation?

Definitely looks like I'm driving south later tonight towards Lumberton, Elizabethtown, or maybe Whiteville as soon as a heavier band shows up.

hrrr wants to give some areas near 3 inches now, probably overdone but still a nice little event for them, many of the soundings in that band have good lift inside the DGZ so that band could suprise many

I just realized, I could actually deal with light ZR here if snow growth zone is to dry, Oh well

Hoping it can change over man, pretty sure the whole board has had enough rain

SE NC/NE SC looks like they may be the winners.

I drove south from hope mills started snowing on 95 once I got to just south of St. Paul’s. It’s actually snowing pretty hard

Judging by radar and HRRR, I wouldn’t be surprised if a few areas see 2-3” from this in SE NC. Radar looks impressive.

Snow is sticking to grassy surfaces here in Lumberton about 0.1” of accumulation

I’m about to drive into this band in northern Columbus county we’ll see how hard it’s snowing down that way in a sec

 

[Webberweather53]

It’s absolutely puking snow here near the Robeson and Columbus county line

I have some to share when I get back to my place this morning. I’m currently in boardman in northern Columbus county and it’s snowing very hard. Sticking to grassy surfaces but luckily not the road

Sounds great man, enjoy the snow! Hrrr and 3km have been snowing a band of 1-3” of snow per kuchera, I didn’t believe it but based on radar I’m thinking they may be close.
