EmersonGA Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 ^yeah, sleep is a precious commodity when you have an infant in the house! I never know when I'm going to get a full nights sleep. Temp has fallen to 15.5 here...now that the sun is coming up this should be the bottom. I still have snow on the ground in shady areas. Amen to that. I have a two month old insomniac at the house. I only got down to 21 last night. I guess I'm a little too far west for the real cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DixieBlizzard Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Amen to that. I have a two month old insomniac at the house. I only got down to 21 last night. I guess I'm a little too far west for the real cold. Only 24F in A'ville. Cloud canopy kept temps up a bit this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormsfury Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Went down to 18º at 1 am, rose up to 24º next hour with a stiff NNE wind and slowly fell back down to 19º by daybreak as winds slackened again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Penland Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 15.1º this morning before it rose back up to 20ish. Already above freezing (barely) which is much better than yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neatlburbwthrguy Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 With reports of flurries in southeast alabama, I am somewhat surprised there is nothing reaching the ground from the batch of precip in the tuscaloosa to birmingham area. I understand how dry it is but to me it seems that the batch of precip in central al is more potent than the precip reaching the ground in se al.

HKY_WX Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I really like the look of the models past day 7. Split flow developing with another massive Greenland block setting up. Heard the euro weeklies are favoring a split-flow later this month as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marion_NC_WX Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Pretty sure next Monday will be the coldest day on the beach in 14 years. I went to Myrtle one time for a wedding in late December, the temp was about 35 degrees. I made the bad decision of stepping outside our ocean front balcony and catching a face full of that cold ocean breeze. Next monday does look pretty darn bad for the entire southeast. I wouldn't be shocked to see you guys with falling temps all day monday into the upper 20's by late afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookout Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Pretty rare event underway in south Georgia. Albany reporting light snow at the last observation. Snow is rare there of course, no matter how much, but I'm sure it's especially rare so early in the season. I would imagine there could be a dusting for whoever is lucky enough to be caught in that one strong band. Probably not 10 to 20 miles across so those folks won the weather lottery today. bany, Southwest Georgia Regional Airport Network: NWS/FAA Elevation: 197 ft / 60 m Time: 12/8/10 - 1805Z 13:05EST Temperature: 34° F / 1° C Dew Point: 19° F / -7° C Relative Humidity: 55% Altimeter: 30.20 in / 1022.69 mb Wind Speed: 6 mph / 3 m/s Wind Direction: from the NW Weather conditions: lt snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeyefan1 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 That would be a nice surprise, can you link to where stormsfury discussed this possibility? This is what he was discussing.... CHS .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY/... THE MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE IS FORECAST TO SPLIT INTO SEVERAL WAVES IN THE PROGRESSIVE UPPER TROUGH AXIS TONIGHT. THE STRONGER OF THE MID LEVEL VORTICITY MAXIMA IS EXPECTED TO SWING THROUGH S GEORGIA AND OFF OUR COAST LATE. MODELS SHOW A LOWERING AND THICKENING SHIELD OF MID LEVEL MOISTURE IN ADVANCE OF THIS FEATURE SPREADING OVER OUR FORECAST AREA DURING THE EVENING. THE QUICK PROGRESSION AND LACK OF LOWER MOISTURE SUPPORT...SUGGESTS THAT ANY MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION IS QUITE UNLIKELY. A FAST BOUT OF STRONG UPPER FORCING AND SOME NEAR-COASTAL FRONTOGENESIS HAVE IMPLICATIONS THAT LIGHT FLURRIES OR RAIN/SNOW SPRINKLES MAY CROP UP SOMEWHERE CLOSER TO THE COAST THIS EVENING INTO THE FIRST PART OF THE OVERNIGHT AROUND THE CHARLESTON TRI-COUNTY AREA. FORECAST SOUNDINGS HAVE SOME DECENT MOISTURE IN FAVORABLE SNOW GROWTH REGIONS ALOFT BUT LOWER LEVELS REMAIN BONE DRY AND TIMING IS A BIT UNCERTAIN. WE CERTAINLY CANNOT RULE OUT A FEW FLURRIES TONIGHT TO THE E OF I-95 IN SOUTH CAROLINA BUT CONFIDENCE WAS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO WORK THEM INTO THE FORECAST AT THIS POINT. TEMPERATURES MAY HOLD A BIT WARMER THIS EVENING UNDER THE THICKER CLOUD DECKS... THEN DIP INTO THE LOWER TO MID 20S AFTER SOME LATE NIGHT CLEARING OCCURS.

RevDodd Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Pretty sure next Monday will be the coldest day on the beach in 14 years. I lived in Windy Hill back when the temperature crashed to 1 degree (84 or 85). The air was heavy with the smell of antifreeze from shattered car water pumps that couldn't take the cold.

DopplerWx Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Better than nothing, hope for overperformance True. I wonder what time period is going to be best for a chance at some flurries? I'm all for standing outside downtown and looking up into some street lights but with it being 24 degrees I won't be able to stand outside for long.

Lookout Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Radar is looking better for some flurries/snow showers for atlanta (especially south side) Actually some 35 dbz southwest of atlanta..which would surely reach the ground. It's building/moving this way and there has been a noticable thickening of cloud cover here (and virga). I hope I see a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reports around Enterprise, Alabama and McCrae, Georgia Edit: Flurries and the occasionaly light snow shower. I somehow missed this post. Nice I was worried for a while earlier that my prediction some might see a few in the atlanta/athens area might have been overly optimistic. Glad to see someone get a few.

Good to see some folks way down south seeing some snow. 35 with a dewpoint of 11...those flakes are going to have to fight a hell of a battle up here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckethead Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Glad to see someone is getting a little snow that's out of the ordinary. Imagine being an elementary school bus driver down there in Enterprise, AL right now...not so much because of the roads, but more the exceptionally excited (and extra load) payload.
