NEGa Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Twice a week....the other days I work from home. whew, thats not so bad then. that is not a short drive, to say the least. ironic that the frozen precip is south of our back yards lol. looking at the soundings briefly still looks close for parts of n ga, but just not sure the temps/dewpoint will cooperate to keep us just under 32 instead of above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Foothills Snowman Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Not sure if it means anything for our area but last night it got to 27 degrees.Today the forecast was for 45 .Now at 1:04 pm its only 35 outside.Not sure it will make it to 45 today but it is interesting none the less.Would still love to see some big time snow before all is said and done.

DaculaWeather Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I though our temp wasn't going to make it either but it's been steadily rising. Even if it starts to rain, the wet bulb is only 36. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsaur Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Went out in the woods to do some work and enjoy me some sleet. Needless to say, it went to rain as soon as I got set up. Never works as well when the sun is up. Interesting interlude, but like the forecast said....34 and rain, blahhh. On to next week. Maybe some of you up stream can hold the column colder, longer.

T It wasn't expected to last that long anyway as the sleet was pretty much just due to the moistening of a dry column of air and once you get it moistened up then all the evaporational cooling from the dry air is used up. Now maybe you will eeek down to 32 and get some freezing rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaPilot Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Had one bout with some fairly heavy sleet about 10-15 minutes ago and it started showing on my deck. Think thats it for here, some of the sleet actually looked like melted flakes though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now maybe you will eeek down to 32 and get some freezing rain. From Experiment Station a few miles to my southeast. So there is a tiny bit of wiggle room. I can do without zrain though. Nice to have 4 or 5 hours of off and on sleet overnight and today, when I was expecting the usual 10 minutes ahead of the rain.

Batman Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Finally started getting some sleet here about 5 minutes ago. Been watching the radar returns to my SW as I worked in my office all morning. I wondered if it would actually make it up to me. There were some problems on roads and bridges down around LaGrange where I-85 and I-185 come together. There were also some ice reports in the Auburn/Opelika AL. area this morning.

dsaur Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I'm really surprised looking at ya'lls temps that I've been holding in the low 30s since last night. That is a bigger surprise to me than the sleet I've been seeing. Maybe Glenn's intern was right....sleet south, rain north, lol. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaculaWeather Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I have sleet and rain, it started about 3:15 as sleet when I was leaving work. It seems to have transitioned over to mostly rain with sleet mixed in at this point. I went from 42 to the temp you see below. Wet bulb is still 36.
