Wintry Winter Storm Dec 7-10

This is the first time in my life i can ever recall the possibility for a good snow event this early in December. I have never seen snow on the ground before Dec 15.

Hey ill take a trace-2" for 100 Alex
 
We have 38 with light sleet in the Rosewood Community of northern Cleburne County, AL at the moment. Hard enough for a little accumulation on the deck. Any model predict sleet for today?

Off topic, but it is interesting that the biggest snowstorm in Montgomery history happened this time of the year. Nobody alive can remember it though!

"DECEMBER 3-6, 1886: Southern Appalachians

An early season heavy wet snowstorm hammered all of Alabama and the higher elevations of Georgia and North Carolina December 3-6, 1886 with 12-16” of snowfall in central Alabama (Montgomery had a record 11.0”), 17-20” in the northern parts of Alabama, and up to 25” in northern Georgia (as was measured in Rome). But it was in the mountains of North Carolina that the most extraordinary accumulations were reported with 36-42” at places like Hot House, North Carolina and Ducktown, Tennessee. Asheville, North Carolina reported 33” of snow on level, almost double the amount from the famous ‘Superstorm’ of 1993."

Modeling had little pockets of mixed precipitation on the first wave, yeah.
 
It continues to amp up on most model suites which takes a lot of people out of the accumulation game and even makes a mix or change over to sleet/freezing rain for folks north and west of GSO likely. EURO will probably move towards other models on its next run IMO. Always could change but the trend appears to be locking in. I wouldn't pay much attention to snow maps atm because they are notoriously bad until now time
