That is what I am hoping for, I like to see the wild maps but realistically the higher numbers usually do not verify. Thinking 2-3” is looking pretty good as long as nothing screws it up over the next few hours lol. Rabun probably a good 4”with higher elevation. It’s about time ne ga and the upstate reel one in. I hate it when our snow bubble from the mountains keeps us rain while snow is all around
-
I know right! While it’s great to see the maps I am still very wary of them. Even half of that would be fantastic - I just hope this doesn’t end in another disaster lol. It looks like from north central to ne ga to the upstate should at least see some snow this is our first good chance of the year really. It’s 38 here with filtered sun - fingers crossed big time on this one ☝️
-
Well apparently the latest run did not look great, so hopefully a glitch lol. Winter storm watches expanded a bit into ne ga and the upstate
-
That doesn’t surprise for habersham. It seems to happen in the majority of set ups like this. Rabun is usually a bit luckier being a bit farther north and having some higher elevation. I am at a decent elevation here. It nothing like clayton lol
-
Hey was wondering where you’ve been lol. I think this is similar to last feb 5 or so when we had one pop up and give a good 5” snowfall. The storms way out on the models are just too unreliable and waffle too much then disappear. It’s the pop up ones that seem to do pretty well in n ga. I am not too surprised to see the sleet and/or rain mixing in. It’s pretty common imby at least. But it looks like could be a decent couple of hours of snow at least.
-
I love these storms that just sort of pop up. When they do they trend better which is so much more fun than having to watch the 7 day storm fizzle lol it is certainly looking pretty good for a lot of us to see some snow this weekend. Obviously it would be better not to have a change over but a majority of the decent storms in this area usually do, esp with this type of set up. Even slashing the numbers by a half to a third still gives ne ga a couple of inches. I just hope this one can hang in there
-
Wow that really surprises me - and sucks. I thought for sure you would get at least 2”.
-
About 1/2 here - flakes aren’t huge anymore but it’s still coming down pretty good. 31 now
-
All snow here now and coming down. Pretty hard. Nickel and quarter size flakes woo hoo
-
About 50/50 snow-sleet here. Just got home and it is 32 here. Ground is getting white now
-
Some pretty flakes starting to mix in here finally - the temp is down to 35
-
changing over to sleet here - still 38 though. appears more sleet than rain at least lol
-
hopefully you see snow soon. you are about 600' higher than me so you will get it first (also you are about 25 miles farther north lol). I am at work in clarkesville and its just rain here - I hope to see some flakes later at home when I get there
-
wow - several people I know have just been busted lol. they claimed they had to leave because it was snowing hard in clayton. you confirmed it is not and I spoke with an office up there and they were complaining it wasn't snowing. its raining and still 38 here.
-
are you getting snow right now? I in Habersham and multiple people have said it was snowing pretty good in clayton now here it is raining and 38 lol
-
Raining in ne ga. Temp 41 dew point 33
-
Colder air seems to be filtering in now. Dew point was 43 around 6pm and it’s now 35. Sadly the rain/snow line is showing up literally over mby ugh
-
A lot have more to the obs thread since it’s nowcasting and happening now
-
Wow that is amazing lol. I just wish the wedge would start building down so we can see at least something frozen
-
I noticed that too - a huge discrepancy in elevation in their cwa. They usually separate out into several different, more specific language though. I have never seen them that combined (at least that I can remember). I do find it odd how their warning language does not really seem to match their accumulation maps
-
The forecasts and models are all over the place. Warnings have gone out but point and click has no accumulation. CAD fo my area, at least is usually freezing rain or sleet, rarely snow. Not surprised but was hoping to get some heavy snow here - an inch of ice is quite a lot lol
-
I am definitely liking how it looks better this morning, but being on the edge, especially the southern edge, always makes me nervous lol. it is early December so expectations are tempered (but excitement over the possibilities the models are showing is not tempered). I have seen it 31 and raining so hard it just never really gets a glaze going. at least it looks like the chances of the higher ice accumulations are down. I love a good ice storm but like to keep my power on
-
its hard for here as well since its such a close call. I am hoping the slightly south trends mean the CAD will be coming in a little stronger. However, historically for NE GA, at least, CAD events are ice ice baby. Sometimes a front end thump of snow but usually ice (since I am apparently one of the "odd ones" who enjoys all winter wx a good ice storm doesn't really bother me). my issue with a good glaze is more how heavy the precipitation is. if its too heavy and not into the 20s it might not really ice over all that much
-
I can’t believe I woke up and the storm is still showing up - even more so that there is still quite a bit of consistency lol. The thing that strikes me for ne ga and the upstate, st least, is the snow amounts with a CAD. We may get a front end thump of snow but for the most part CADs here are not deep enough for snow but mostly ice. Even if we do get snow most big storms of this set up usually mix with or change to sleet then freezing rain. If the “second” shot moves through as snow on top of ice that would be a sight to see for sure
-
I’ve learned over the years to not too excited too far out. Sunday and Monday runs were interesting - now with the consistency and getting closer it’s hard not to start getting pumped up a bit lol. So far things are looking interesting for ne ga - if we can get some of the lower dewpoints in we could be in business. Side note - after 70 Sunday and a warm Monday currently it’s 35 lol
