Wintry More SE Snow ? (1/16-1/18)

[Ron Burgundy]

Nice band NW of ATL about to move into the metro. Be interested to see what we get at ground level out of it.

Snowing good with decent sized flakes. Drifting not accumulating in this wind!

Why do we even make observation threads? It seems like it's worthless, since nobody wants to use it.

Here is my location in McCalla. Moderate to heavy snow. Roads are quickly being covered. Definitely 1-2 more hours expected. Had to turn around after 5 minutes. Roads deteriorated that much that quickly.

Snowing nicely in Marietta, GA. Dusting on grass. 33 degrees

I have never seen this dry of powder before.

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 630 PM EST Tuesday: Still evaluating guidance in preparation
for any upgrade decisions that may need to be made later this
evening. Light snow or rain/snow mix has been slow to start across
western zones, but hearing of reports of snow in the higher
elevations of the NC mountains, with just recently a report from far
NE GA, so it is coming, and snow is falling at temperatures in the
mid 30s. 18z NAM/GFS both came in wetter/snowier, and each hour of
the RAP/HRRR is following this trend, with the more concerning
guidance peaking out at 5" even here in the Upstate. This seems a
little excessive but CAMs are obviously picking up on some mesoscale
banding that will be incredibly hard to narrow down. Would like to
see the 21z SREF before making any final decisions, and this should
be in by 8pm, so anticipate that any decisions on
upgrades/expansions will be made by the 10pm evening news. In the
meantime, have adjusted pops based on a slower onset as well, also
lingering precip longer across eastern zones on Wednesday per latest
CAMs.

The snow just really started and it is coming down fast, 32 and falling fast. This snow might be the last one of the year for me and that's okay it has been a great winter this year. good luck to everyone that is getting snow tonight.....
:weenie:

I think they're worthless too. I'd rather read about them on the main thread than have to go to a different one.

Too much work.

Light snow - Lithia Springs, GA. West of Atlanta

Well, the storm is already a winner in my book. My office is closed tomorrow.

Well i'm merging the observation thread to here. Because it's too much back and forth.

 

[ramsewr]

Im in Hoover and its sleeting...it may even be a mix but sounds like sleet. Strange!

 

[GaStorm]

Snow just started in southern Forsyth. Mixing with rain but temp is definitely colder.

 

[accu35]

This storm is so behide schedule.

 

[Storm5]

Inside the lines I think it's much better snow and larger flakes outside that pretty sure tiny flakes i.e. Flizzard

Coming down pretty good. Driveway and road are white. First time the road has been white since it started.
