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

Update from FFC

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
455 AM EST Wed Jan 17 2018

.SHORT TERM /Today through Thursday/...

Primary concern is ending time of snow. Currently bands of light to
moderate snow still ongoing south of a Carroton to Canton line.
Could see an additional inch or so before it ends from west to east
this morning. Temps have cooled dramatically as expected and nearly
all roads have beomce ice and snow covered. Have used CONSShort
blend for hourly temps and derived MaxT from that which is somewhat
colder than previous forecast. Used CONSShort and HRRR to derive
near term QPF and SnowAmt. Based on this and radar trends, could see
another 1 to maybe 2 inches additional accumulation over west
central GA and south ATL metro. Wind chills still on track for
advisory criteria, particularly in mountain areas. Further south and
east, snow should have less impacts as temps closer to freezing.

Mainly tweaks to the Winter Wx and Wind Chill Advisories. Based on
reports of slick roads and vehicle incidents, have also issued
Special Wx Statement to highlight extremely hazardous driving
conditions continuing all day and tonight due to temps in the teens
and 20s.

Subsidence zones really starting to pop up everywhere.

About an inch of accumulation here where I live. It snowed all night, however this snow was very dry. Never really saw any of those huge wet flakes like I had in the early December storm that brought me a foot of snow. There is a sheet of ice under the snow on surfaces where it initially melted on contact. Be careful out there. I hope those of you to the east who are just now seeing snow fall get some crazy numbers! Be safe and enjoy yourselves.

Awesome woke up to a nice snow cover and still snowing...people out driving around on roads already got people stuck in road, flipped in ditches and various other accidents.

 

[LovingGulfLows]

I think central GA(including Macon) will cash in here. Can see up to 3 inches in places. That radar looks healthy down there.

The initial wet roads are going to cause huge issues when the snow starts to accumulate and the temps drop below freezing. Right now the field reporters on the morning news are saying that the roads are just wet and no problems. It won't last long...

So far it's rain imby, my community college decided to operate on a normal schedule today for some reason.

Drizzling and 41 in Columbia. That front needs to get here so temps crash.

It's snowing on my side of town.

9z RAP has Raleigh switching to snow by 9-10am. Wasn't expecting this much rain but I guess it's a necessary evil.

Looks like about 1.5" on the grass with half that on the roads. Pure powder so no snowmen today. The sledding should be good though. Currently 15 and dropping and I just watched the stars come out as the clouds left.

What model is that? That barely gives NW Columbia an inch. That cant be right.

Haven’t you been saying they will get nothing? So that’s a good improvement right!

That's the latest RAP model run. Not sure how good that model is though so take it with a grain of salt.

The hires NAM is better I believe.

Ground turning white already just started to pick up

 

[weatherfide]

I'm watching the last few flakes now of the last band. It was a very interesting event. Probably looking at around 1.5" total here. This is the best winter in a long time!

 

[Psalm 148:8]

Just stopped snowing bout 10 minutes ago. Ground is white!!! Everywhere!!! We got at least 2 inches! Maybe a hair more!! Prettiest snow here in years since 2014 probably.

 

[CentralGAColdFront]

I'm currently at 36/30 and barring a major disaster my nearly four year snow less streak is about to end!
