Wintry Winter Storm Dec 7-10

honestly, this is the craziest f*cking storm I've ever seen.. need a Webber or somebody to truly explain just what the hell is going on:

looking at the radar, you can see that crazy convective pipeline forming in the northern Gulf of Mexico... translated forward in time, those totals in west GA thru western NC aren't impossible, if the boundary layer temps aren't completely off. I'm assuming these models adjust for diurnal effects on the atmosphere.. Can actually see a scenario where heavy snow switches to sleet/rain in the heaviest precip bands as the day goes on.

Vaguely recall a Chattanooga snow in the late 90s where 6 inches of slush turned to rain during the afternoon and was mostly gone by nightfall.
 
Sorry cant copy/post this, but looking at trends vs model output I can see what FFC was refering to, with current situation to the west/southwest the snow line is running about 40 miles S/SE of model forecast in LA, MS and SW AL.. So time will tell
 
Light rain mixed with some really big snowflakes now in Acworth, GA.

Wish that trend would continue....
 
Well the state of SC is out of this one. Probably the only winter storm this part of the country gets this winter.
 
Wife works at UAB and I cannot believe they have not at least delayed to buy themselves time. I do not feel comfortable with her taking I-20 into downtown from 7:15-8:00. Surely they will announce it soon. I mean we are already getting decent snow down here at the house. My temp is also steadily dropping.
 
Down to 33.6 with snow falling. Trying to pick up in intensity.

So frustrated with these local mets in ATL, we all sit here and followed this storm and it was definitely hard to call and has had potential to go either way in many areas but the blow off attitude that many of them had even as far as yesterday afternoon, I believe their are gonna bust big time on their initial forecasts and that s fine as long as you just didn't be so dismissive at first
