Weather Czar Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 19 here at work with light snow showers/flurries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion_NC_WX Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Shelby airport down to 28 after a high temp of 30. Charlotte is 30 after a high of 32. We would have been a few degrees colder here, but the lee trough held in place for quite a while this morning. Here was my call from Friday morning, I posted in another thread. Just went outside to work on my thermometer, I'm trying to find a better spot to get a more accurate reading. Dang wind on this little bit of snow we have on the ground was biting through my face. I would say schools for many western north carolina counties this week will be short. Any secondary roads that were icy got absolutely no help today. Roads here for the most part are okay but I'm not convinced we'll have school here tomorrow either. Wind chills is going to be a big factor also, getting into negative numbers. EDIT: High Wind Warnings and Wind Chill Advisories now out for the escarpment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WXinCanton Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I'm new to posting (far more lurking). Most days feel like I need a secret decoder ring to decipher the posts, but I've learned a lot. This probably needs to go to a different thread, but I'm not sure which one- question: Rome is consistently in a screw zone. More often than not, if there is snow in NW GA, NE AL you can literally drive 30 miles in any direction and find measurable accumulation without a trace amount in the county. I've asked locals, but no one knows enough about weather for a reasonable answer. I saw a post or two back at Eastern... but didn't really understand them. I think Rome Kinda sits in a hole elevation wise, that might explain why you would get screwed in these type events. I do know that they get hotter than Metro ATL by couple degrees most every day in the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoWeatherman Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Not at home but the nearest station is reporting a high of 27 so far. Atlanta is at 27 currently. Very impressive cold...it's hard to get temps to stay in the 20s here without a blanket of snow. You've got that right. So far my high has only been 23.7. Just got off the phone with my propane company out of Suches and they said they got 2" of snow. That's only 9 miles from my house "as the crow flies"....but I guess being at 3,000+ feet there does help a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wind chills is going to be a big factor also, getting into negative numbers. yeah i was just pumping gas about an hour ago and the wind was very strong and you could feel the air getting colder by the minute. Once the cold advection kicked in, it really got in high gear. Its the coldest I've "felt" in a few years here, talking wind chill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gastonwxman Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 26 degrees here after hitting 28 for a high. About an hour ago, I had a very strong gust of wind blow through here. You can hear what sounds like someone banging on the side of my house with a hammer. A few tree branches already snapped out here, and I'm gonna have to pick them up and cut them later.

EmersonGA Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I think Rome Kinda sits in a hole elevation wise, that might explain why you would get screwed in these type events. I do know that they get hotter than Metro ATL by couple degrees most every day in the summer Rome sets a good deal lower than the metro area. That combined with Lookout mountain to the west means higher temperatures and a screw zone in NW flow events. My inlaws have property in Cave Spring. We have gone there on a NW flow day to watch the flurries dry up before getting there. Then we drive home to have a pretty good snowshower.

burrel2 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I just went through the Clemson Entomology Dept. Weather station history looking for the coldest recorded high temperature. I used this station because it is extremely reliable and most often corresponds well with my backyard temperature. Anyways, I've went back through 2005 and the coldest day I could find was January 29, 2005. The high that day was 32 degree's. Today, that station hasn't gotten above 31 degree's and currently sits at 30! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEGa Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 There have been several gusts over 40 mph today (the highest at 42 mph). Those are some strong winds and added with a temp of 20.6 it is frigid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I reckon the wind is going to keep temperatures from dropping as much as they otherwise would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonGA Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Its 22 here already. I just put some fresh antifreeze in the truck and said a prayer for the morning. Still some snow on the north side of the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oconeexman Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Just my guess, they are going to bomb on the lows tonight. Already 19 at my house... And exactly what kind of thermometer do you have. You have been consistently 5-8° colder than me and NEGa and you live in Atlanta? Just curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I reckon the wind is going to keep temperatures from dropping as much as they otherwise would. Still forecasting teens here despite the wind. I could imagine if it went calm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
