I don't see any snow total posts from Augusta, GA. I am 20 miles north of Augusta and ended up with 2 inches. I tried to find a place to take a picture with no trees down but thanks to being in the eastern eyewall of Helene, I have extensive damage to trees all over my land due to 100+ mph wind gusts.

Here is the accumulation map from 73.

It just started snowing here.

When I lived on Beech Mountain back in 2010-2012 we had snow ratios of 40 to 1 to 60 to 1 in some very cold NWFS events. The temp was below 20 degrees to about 5 degrees during these events. The winter of 2010-2011 Beech Mt got 160 plus inches of snow.

Getting big flakes. I haven't seen snow here since 2021. Nice.

It sleeted here for 2 hours. Then it stopped and now it is starting to snow, no sleet. I am under heavier returns now. I think there must be a higher dry layer that is getting saturated. I am 25 miles north of Augusta, GA.

Already light sleet on the border of central GA and northern midlands of SC.

I noticed most of us in this thread joined in 2010. Is that when Eastern Weather changed to American Weather?

It is starting to freeze rain on Sugar Mountain. The sleet and freezing rain the models have been showing were accurate.

They are making snow on Sugar mountain. Shows how dry the air is still. https://www.resortcams.com/webcams/sugar-ski/

I lived on Beech Mountain from 2010 to 2012. We received over 150 inches of snow the winter of 2010-2011. Good luck mountaineers, lol. Peace!

Nice pic. I always liked Jim's passion for the weather!

I think it because in his earlier videos he said that it would be heavy precip and that would affect ice accumulation. He said light to moderate precip would result in higher ice totals.

Yea, I agree. That is why they are called "clown maps". Peace

Damn, I was alive when it happened. I am surprised by that. Thanks for the heads up. I have been a member here for 11 years and even when it was Eastern Weather I was a member but I don't post much anyway. Peace!

You live in my neck of the woods. Look at the link to the SE snowstorm of Feb 9-13 1973. You see any similarities? Even the date is close. Anyway I have hope but its to far off but I am amazed at the similarities. https://www.weather.gov/ilm/Feb1973Snow

I know this is way out there but it really favors the Southeastern snow storm of 1973. I know this map is almost always wrong but it is interesting. https://www.weather.gov/ilm/Feb1973Snow

Snow mixed with rain 30 miles north of Augusta GA.

To me it looks like the ULL center is near Athens, Ga

I am hoping this is the year that Macon, Augusta, Columbia gets a Miller A scenario and gets a good snow. It has been about 10 years since the fall line got a good snow.

I understand 100%. I have moved back to where I grew up in the Augusta Ga area on Clarks Hill Lake and it is rough down here most of the time but in 1973 when I was 4 years old it snowed 16 inches here. I don't know if you were alive then or lived in Columbia then but talking with my Grand Father when he was alive and my Great Grandmother she remembered a heavy snow in the late 1880's and my Grand Father remembered a heavy snow when he was about 10 years old in the early 1910's both over 10 inches and then the 1973 snow. They lived to see both. I am 50 so I have seen one and I am gonna follow family tradition and live to see my second heavy snow, lol. These are rare but put down higher totals than most of the state! Here is a link to the NWS account of the 1973 storm..... https://www.weather.gov/ilm/Feb1973Snow Ran across this... https://www.weather.gov/cae/Snowfall_Total_Records_cor.html

I have not seen this posted. GA NWS video...
