Wintry Winter Storm Dec 7-10

7" and still snowing here in NE Forsyth County.

I'll think twice before completely discounting the NAM. I'll think twice before completely discounting precip rates overcoming recent warmth. This has been an absolutely epic day, one that is drawing close to 3/13/93 in my book.

Wow y'all ... what a day! Happy for all who got to see a storm for the ages rage out their windows.

I think people put way too much emphasis on the soil temps.

Yes, I was one of those, however don t think anyone truthfully believed in the amounts some models were showing... and remember almost all models were showing run to run variables, so it was up to meso features overall...

Just went over 9". Gone from limbs popping to entire pine tops coming down. Light show outside with all the transformers going...absolutely epic storm guys. Feels amazing to have finally been in the sweet spot. ARCC and I have been reeling in these for many years with you guys and we usually bring in an old shoe. But not this time! Reeled her in boys!!

From what I've read it'll be after midnight for us. I think Shane said that. Also look at the Montgomery radar. Nothing crazy but it's a start. Also the hrrr shows a lull
 
And this lol to be honest BMX was calling for same notice date

The number of huge branches popping in the neighborhood is unnerving. This is the only snow storm I remember that has caused so much power disruption, especially NW of ATL.

Lol. Well around these parts most likely it will be our big snow of the season. Highly unlikely we see anything close to something this big again for a while.

It will probably be years before we see this much snow in East Al, however we have been due a good one. We got left out last year pretty much. 6 to 10 inch snows are so rare. I'm hoping we get lots more like this throughout this season. So many people that I have spoke with have made the comment that they don't remember a true snow this early, ever. So, enjoy it guys. We just scored big time, and winter hasn't even begun.
