Cheeznado Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I'll bet you're happy you went up. Yep! And round 2 is approaching. Too bad some of the first snow melted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Just north of Atlanta, the air is full of little white ice pellets. Hoping for a real flake or two later. Yeah we've got some of those same little white pellets (graupel) falling too here in Acworth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Just checked the board and was right 4 inches. Still some light snow but looks to be winding down per radar. Temp is starting drop after a spike of 30.8 at about 8 this morning. Now down to 28.6. No real wind to speak of yet. This looks like a 3 part event for you , instead of the usual 2. The overnight snow, and then todays snow coming with the 5h feature , which should be a good hit, then your biggest part comes tonight or early Tomorrow morning when the snowguns are turned on. The streamers could be unbroken at times from lake Michigan, off and on for 24 to 36 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrips27 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 First of all congrats to all in the mountains who got some snow last night! Hopefully the wrap around can over perform and hit those who missed out and those in NC. I got some ice pellets here. Sorta looks like a snow/sleet mix? 36.5 and starting to drop! The pine trees are really moving in the wind. Will let y'all know when I see a real flake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoJoe Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Yep! And round 2 is approaching. Too bad some of the first snow melted... You're going to love the flow snow. When it gets really cranking head up 26 to Sam's gap. There is a great overlook right on top where you can park and get out. There are picnic tables, little trails and an elevated platform. This is only about 15 miles up the interstate from you. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strongwxnc Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 WOuld be nice, but I cannot hold my breathe that long Sitting at 37 and waiting the drop in temps!! Great obs today folks!!! I just looked at the nam, it has tremendous downslope over us for this event, but theres so much moisture we may get a few flakes, or they could skip us and redevelop around SC and central NC. Either way, it would be nice to see some flakes here, but I'm just going to live vicariously through the Tenn and NC obs for the upslope. The upslope kicks in right as the ULL feature is moving out tonight, so the mountains are going to get a tremendous upslope from this one, a lot more than I originally thought. Also, still like our areas snow to sleet to ZR event by Thursday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gastonwxman Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 The last bit of light shower/sprinkles is now moving through my area. Sitting at 42/42 (Temp/DP) with a 38° wind chill. It's about to feel colder soon. You can really see where the colder air is filtering in on this. http://www.motoweatherman.com/radar/ffc.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddy Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 OK I have pretty regular 2" on my 'board' (kids trampoline) and I'd measured 1.75" last night before I went to bed at 3am just BEFORE the heavy stuff started, so I feel pretty confident in (with as little weenie as possible) estimating 4-5" total last night before the rain killed my accum. My driveway is basically a slush lake 3" deep. Light flurries again, for now, but the temps have me concerned, as I'm already slightly over my progged high. Looks like the really cold air it just on the other side of Knoxville, right now, so maybe it will slide on in here shortly. Another wave of moisture is sitting over middle TN, which makes things interesting if it can make it this far. Frankly if things cool off like they're saying tomorrow, and the scraper trucks don't make it up here today, the roads in the morning are going to be literal sheets of ice. They're basically slush-pits right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foothills thanks for all the good info you have been providing. are you contracted in Tenn or w. NC in the mountains. Between Cookesville to Tricities and then the NC high country are about to get hit hard for a couple of days. Probably good plowing esp. in Ne Tenn. Northern Va isn't getting too much from this.

MountainMarvel Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Just one last pic from the morning snow. Up to 34 here now, and foggy. Had a mist of rain earlier, but nothing melted! That could mean ice on the roads later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaculaWeather Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Temps are still steady on the NE side of Atlanta, I'm at 41.4 and actually rising a little bit. Baro is 29.56 and still falling, it's the lowest it's been all month. Winds are starting to pickup out of the NW and the humidity if falling about 7%/hr. EDIT: Just starting sleeting in Dacula and temp has started to fall. Winds picking up even more now On a side note, I just got my upper air soundings page finished, let me know what you think! http://www.daculawea...m/upper_air.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got a call from client to be ready to send a couple of trucks west to ashville,he said 3 inches on the ground and snowing. I'm calling powerstroke to send a couple of his out their to plow and salt HOPE he is reading this as he is not answering his cell ( maybe he's scared of the snow LOL ) Keep me posted of asheville if you would!

Buddy Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I've gotten an unofficial report from Balsam Mountain (near the preserve localyokal) of 5-6" which wouldn't surprise me at all. Temps up there are still sub freezing, and i expect they never switched over to rain at that elevation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local Yokel Wx Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I've gotten an unofficial report from Balsam Mountain (near the preserve localyokal) of 5-6" which wouldn't surprise me at all. Temps up there are still sub freezing, and i expect they never switched over to rain at that elevation. I would agree with that completely seeing how rainforrest in Toxaway got 5" as well. Im about to make a trip to Avery County in a few hours. Im so torn between staying around to see snow in Jackson (which seems rare now a days) or go and play in a Blizzard. Choice, choices, but o what good choices to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookout Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Really dark out there right now, no signs of downslope with completely cloudy skies. Very convective look to the clouds..almost look likes it's going to come a t-shower lol. Still mild though here, 44. Indeed, the shower activity near atlanta shouldn't have many problems arriving here with south of west flow for the time being. Too warm for snow though until after 18z. 36 in atlanta right now so hopefully temps start dropping soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
