jrips27 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Just drove up about 3 miles NE to go to Lowes. Got our Christmas Tree in the snow! It was pouring snow up there... seriously. Light accumulation in the grass. Then I get home and it didn't even look like it had snowed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVille Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Liking this wrap around moisture even more, it seems to be strengthening, not shrinking: Snowfall on west side of nashville from DOT WEBCAM: It's times like this that I hate living on the Eastern Side of the Mountains.

HWY316wx Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 It does seem like all our winter events in the last couple of years have been during the middle of the afternoon. I guess with afternoon temps in the upper 20's right now though, beggars can't be choosers. It will be dark by 5 PM. As cold as it is, I dont think it will much matter.

oconeexman Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 the snow intensity has really increased in the last couple of minutes, as well as the wind. its 27 and snowing sideways lol yes it is! and if it lifts out the right direction, ne ga and the upstate might not be downsloped All the bands that are coming through Rosie's by and your house are coming straight to me. Love how it just keeps developing! This next batch looks a lot more impressive to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacob_ Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 To my untrained eye the heavy precip around Nashville appears to be barreling straight toward the Atlanta metro area... how far north is it expected to curve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookout Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Man it's brutal out there with the wind. Temp 31 and winds are gusting to 35mph plus. I've had on and off flurries all afternoon and just had the best shower I've had yet. Not enough to stick of course and Nothing impressive to say the least but I'm happy to see anything as usually I'm left out completely in situations like these. Going to be really brutal tomorrow. Those 20 to 30mph winds are going to bite with temps in the teens and 20s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoWeatherman Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Moderate snow here in Dahlonega. Very nice. Best of the day so far. Temp is 24.4. My best shot will be from now thru midnight I think. Hoping to eekk out enough to measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Getting moderate/heavy rain with the sun partially out and the wind is blowing it sideways. Just very cool to see something like this. whats interesting about that mass that started around here and went through Hickory is the NAM had it showing up for several runs. Still not cold enough for it to be snow or sleet here with it though. REally windy out now and the temp is falling. Now 44. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itunis Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 By far, the heaviest snow of the day in Adairsville. Visibilities down to about 1/2 mile. Awesome Back to flurries here, and the car is once again mostly bare after a powerful gust of wind (I think there is a wind tunnel effect going on between the house and the hill beside it). Plenty of snow in sheltered areas though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
