Same.... 33.5 all night and over an inch of rain. Is there anything worse in the weather world?

I went out about half an hour ago to measure the final snowfall total and I got around 5 inches. I would imagine if we had subfreezing temps like we did in January 2014, those totals probably would be closer in the 8-10 inch range since we wouldn't of had as much melting. Nonetheless it's a gorgeous winter wonderland and turned out to be a better snowstorm than I anticipated.

EDIT: It's still snowing even though the main concentration of precip is moving E of us right now.
 
Riding this straight to the cliff.... it's not its long range so I'm actually fairly hopeful especially seeing what's happening out west now. Also this could actually have higher rates closer to 10:1 so who knows maybe a good dusting

Well... wow.

I did not expect much from this storm when I heard about it earlier this week. I thought it would be fun to wake up to a dusting on Saturday.

Currently at 9" on my board. Some of what fell in the first couple of hours yesterday morning immediately melted, and then we lost some that melted yesterday afternoon during a lull, but I believe easily close to 12" fell here. It is still lightly snowing, although radar indicates this is the last gasp of moisture.

Aside from a few lulls where it backed off to mist/sleet, it has been snowing (from tiny spit to huge flakes and everything in between) at my house for 26.5 hours now. In Georgia...

The near complete lack of wind and somewhat marginal temps yesterday - clumps have melted and fallen off trees around here, which they would not if it was 10 degrees colder - has helped mitigate the power outages I think.

Hope everyone is having fun with this unexpected holiday gift!

I don't think so. 1.94 so far this event, if we had the first half of this thing as snow I would have been happy

My general rule of thumb with snow is if cold temps haven't been established for a while, you can likely cut the totals in half. Whatever the "positive snow depth" was doing was cutting far more than that.

Anyway, my drive to far Northwest Georgia is sure to be interesting... From what little information I got, I know the storm busted on the low side there, but they didn't get stupid totals like Cartersville/Cherokee County, etc did...it was more like your typical, ole' fashioned good snowstorm there.
 
32°F light snow still falling with 5 inches total on the ground. I'll post some pictures and videos later today.
 
It's going to be interstate driving, only until around the Chattahoochee National Forest in far Northwest Georgia and we aren't about to go yet. As long as the interstates are fine, we can go as planned.

I would venture to say this was the heaviest snow in NW Atl suburbs since March 93...

I would agree with this. The big storm a few years ago, when the city was shut down for 4-5 days (was that 2010? I cannot recall now - that storm started on a Sunday and ran through into Monday)... we only got about 8" here. It was just much colder, and had a layer of ice in it, and the wind drifted it under eaves and bushes so it *looked* like more than it was. And it stayed cold all week and basically did not melt at all.

This storm has definitely brought us larger totals here, but because there was no wind to speak of, protected areas beneath coverings of any kind are completely bare. Kind of funny looking!
 
That band is finally here. And it is RAIN. Ready for spring.Let's get winter OUT of here now.

Looks like we aren't that far away from having a decent temp profile 925 and 700mb is good still a little warm at 850 but with west winds at that level we should see them cool
