  1. Just got to get that dry air saturated. It's just pin head flakes blowing about, but reports back down stream describe how it fattens up over time, so I'm expecting everyone under continuing virga will see something even if it's just a flake.
  2. I have flakes, Brick. You pulled it in.
  3. I suggest he go out in an automatic without snow tires or chains, find a good untreated hill, with a quarter inch of frozen on it and see how he does, before he disparages Atl drivers, most of whom come from somewhere else, not Ga., lol.
  4. Yeah, if something falls it'll be black ice immediately, then it's when can the trucks get the roads treated. Better off the roads than sorry.
  5. That patch is closing in on me next. I get my tornadoes from down there, so surely snow comes from there too, lol.
  6. temp 22.7 rh 46.3 dpt 5.2 wb 19.4 at 7:00. The radar shows me just about getting into the heavier virga.
  7. Right on our doorstep and such a disparity of model results still. General trends start to agree, but extents not so much.
  8. I think you'll be fine if the zr is under 1/3 of an inch. Hopefully the sleet will take over. There are a lot of trees in Sav, but hopefully it won't pull down the lines unless a tree falls on them. The moles are doing a sleet thrum in honor of Mr. Abacus, so there's that. I'm down to 22.2, so a hot ground won't be a problem
  9. Eat some beans and spread your magic, lol. 27.6 now. Not a bad drop with the sun out.
  10. Right now, I think that 1- 2 inch band makes it to Hampton, but that's right now, lol.
  11. The n/w shift has been real in many cases. I've gone from 15 plus to half an inch, and points in between, and I'm far from making a call, lol. But what falls will stick...none wasted, so there's that. I'm sure pulling for you to get sn/ip. Sleet, sleet, sleet...wishes do come true...listen to Jimny, Larry. Well, before the stars get covered...so be quick.
  12. Some very healthy totals, but airport totals. I wonder what backyard totals were. Is there a spotter archive?
  13. All the focus is on amounts, like it's a contest. Climo doesn't give a crap if you see a flake or a foot. If folks want better predictions then call you senator and demand a substantial increase in money spent on accumulation of accurate data and super computers to digest it. When I was a kid all I had was reports to pilots at the airport. At 7am daily. Things have come a long way, but could be infinitely better with some funding. Why is the doc generally the king? Because it's in Europe.
  14. There are kids in Fla who will see their first snow, and make life long memories, so it's hardly a fail for them. Maybe some kid is standing by the family car ready to go to school and the clouds will pour sleet down on them, and they'll be forever changed. Not many hills in Fla though, or S Ga. And some will get the bejeebers scared out of them by zr, but it's still a memory down the road.
  15. My point forecast us up to 60 percent for snow, but the Thursday zr is gone. No precip showing. Things are in such flux, it's crazy to worry about run to run changes. Maybe if it wasn't potentially an historic storm. Maybe if there were more data and more supercomputers, but there aren't so things change run to run.
  16. Sleet, sleet, sleet...and you have to believe in wishes, Larry...and something about a roast chicken
  17. Just 20 percent chance. It was snow last night. I imagine the present system has to get done before Thur comes into focus. A follow up sys has been on the maps but last night was the first time it showed up on the point forecast. The bitter air will have to mellow fast in the column to go from sn to zr in two days. I imagine it will be back to snow soon. I was just glad to see frozen mentioned at all.
  18. My point forecast is now up to 50 percent snow for Tues. and the snow chance for Thurs is now chance of zr.
  19. My point has snow in it for Thru now.
  20. I'd gladly trade snow for sleet, but Larry claims wishes don't do anything. Now I know why when I wished for a dollar from the tooth fairy all those years ago, instead of a dime, I ended up with a nickle
  21. Does that work for sleet...really? Can I roast a chicken and pull in a sleet fest?? I've just been chanting...sleet, sleet, sleet.... And all I got was a quarter inch.
  22. Don't touch it. And don't get it until the last minute. Open the freezer put in, then don't open the freezer again until the power's back or you're starving, lol. Have some neighbors over to eat up space for the ice. Wear gloves and glasses.
  23. Only 3 1/2 counties away. Keep it coming up and maybe you'll be out of the zr, and I'll be in the sleet and snow, instead of all snow! I'd love 4 inches of sleet again..big time....but 15 inches of snow would be hard to turn down for sleet. 8 inches sure, but over a foot, no way. Right now it's near 60 so dreams of frozen seem so far away.
