Wintry Winter Storm Dec 7-10

The overall radar trends look good for N Ala and NW Georgia... not sure enough moisture is gonna get north enough to put CHA in line, but there's a small chance. Currently is snowing in Ft. Payne Ala, 36 degrees... not too far away.
 
I am officially up for the party. The latest nam absolutely RAILS central Alabama. Clown maps have 6-9 inches, which is ridiculous, but Mets are really beginning to ramp up there wording. Should have Winter Storm Warnings issued soon for BHAM area. JP Dice has 2+ in a large area, but is afraid it could be more. Has 3+ in areas too. This is what we all hope and dream for. Good luck everyone and lets have fun. I am about to get the coffee brewing!
 
This is just me, but I think we see widespread 2-4 along 20/59 due to the heavy rates, and east Alabama may have a 6 inch total...

I’m just south of the warning area in Coweta County. Hopefully the temps will cooperate for us all. I got up at 2:30 to take my little dogs out and it was 43 degrees, it dropped to 39 degrees by 3:00.

I disagree with their decided. Should have included Atlanta.
 
The Winter Weather Advisery for The other Counties in the BMX area are now saying up to 2 inches of snow.
 
So...how about that NAM? N. GA got NAM'd good, Dang it NAM always screwing with our fragile snow weenie emotions. lmao Seriously though, I know they're just clown maps, but these totals it's spitting out is incredibly insane. It makes you do a complete double take.

Even for Atlanta?
 
Honestly seeing how most modeling is keeping most of north and west ga all snow all day, I’m beginning to wonder if they are on to something. Even gfs has ramped up towards the nam last I saw it.

Anyone who lives in NW GA seeing any snow yet? I see on radar this region of the state (rome to canton to dahlonega line) is showing snow. Just wondering if there's any ground truth from those areas north and west.
 
might want to sticky the OBS thread.. didn't even know it was here until now.
 
This is insane. This shield of snow literally is still feeding in from all the way back in south Texas. I’m like wow!

Dalton Ga reporting snow showers... looking for web cams, no luck so far.

even further back than that, into Northern Mexico.
 
After drizzle most of the night, my location in Acworth GA, NW of Atlanta, how has light rain with ice pellets/sleet.
 
I see the meso low that developed over NE GA is gonna be a pain in the neck if it doesn't start moving south and east. 925s would be steadily falling like the 850 temps if it wasn't blocking the way. However 925 temps have fallen significantly over the past several hours, I'm between +1 - +2°C and 850s are subfreezing right now so that's not too bad. (Much better start than January 2017 event was)

Where in NE Ga are you referring to?
 
it's the low that's gonna screw Upper SC and maybe Central NC too.. lol
 
Wow, winter storm warning just 20 miles NW of ATL in Cobb County. I truly can’t remember the last time we had one in Dec. This is awesome!
 
Last time I woke up to one was Jan 2014 but it was 29 degrees that morning and school officials were about to make a mistake that would get kids days off for cold rain chances for a generation.

GO FALCONS!
 
Well the 4AM Atlanta mets are playing catch up lmao! Karen minton and brad nitz kept stumbling over their words lol!! Their model is showing 3-4" in the winter storm warning area for GA! 4-6" NE Mtns

Fox 5 showed several models and they kept it snowing/wintry mix even at 8AM tomorrow morning O_O

yeah, this storm took lots by surprise, marginal temps, early dec climo, ... but models were pretty consistent some crazy deep south snow was going to happen.

Some short range models keep snow in N. GA as late as 10am-1pm Saturday.
 
HRRR & 12Km NAM have really backed off the accumulation for DeKalb Co...literally straddling the line. Why does it always have to be this way?

Hell, here in CHA we're literally getting scraped by the radar.. .all snow just to the south. I've also seen this before many times over the years. Latitude matters, until it doesn't.
