DAWGNKITTEN Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Parts of Rabun will probably in the higher elevations. White cty should too. Habersham and eastern Rabun is more likely to be downsloped Usually it's Clayton/Mountain City/Dillard/Sky Valley...just 6 miles more south is all I'm asking for...And I'll try to blow some down to you!

Hopefully this will overperform a little and give me and you something to see....On the other hand, there's times where I get stuff and it's more than those north of me, so hey give a little, take a little!

This may have been posted but I can't recall. http://www.srh.noaa....c/?n=snow172010 ^that system was similar to this one and it really overperformed. Went in expecting just flurries/showers and ended up with an 1-3" and a pretty big mess. Not saying at all that I expect this or something similar to happen, just an observation.

DaculaWeather Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Scattered light showers entering Georgia ahead of the front. Temps already in the low 30's in NW Alabama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithiaWx Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I'm not liking what I'm seeing for Georgia. I think the upslope on the NC/TN border looks to be nice and healthy, also some scattered snow showers in parts of TN also look good, but once you cross the TN/GA border that's where I'm not feeling it. If you look at the short range and hi-res models they just don't show much outside the first row of counties in north Georgia, even there it's going to be tough to squeeze out much. That said I'm fearing I may not even see more than a flake or two tonight imby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ams30721us Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Snowshowers developing across the Memphis/Nrn Miss area and moving into NW Alabama now.. MEM: Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us I am also very worried about some Flash Freezing also here in NW GA. We are still really soaked from the 1.5"+ of rainfall yesterday. We have been getting some drizzle all morning and now Scattered Steady Light rain has moved in again. Temps expected to be below freezing by 7pm or so this evening so thing black ice will be a big concern even if we do not see any snowshowers though I think we will.

valkhorn Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 As far as TN goes, it's been snowing in Memphis, Jackson, and now Nashville. The freezing line is working it's way towards Knoxville as we speak by late this afternoon or this evening. The regional forecast has us at up to 2", local forecast is up to 1". I'm about 400' higher than most of the city so we'll see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WXinCanton Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 How? What was it supposed to be like in N. GA besides the extreme northern counties?? IDK, I thought I might have a good shot to see an inch if I drove the hill in pickens county above 3k feet. Still might but the models have backed off, even though they didnt show a whole hell of alot to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valkhorn Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Newfound Gap just closed due to ice/snow via twitter They aren't getting any right now. They usually close ahead of time due to tourists. Like I said, they close 441 at the drop of a hat because tourists can't drive it in dry/sunny weather.

Like I said, they close 441 at the drop of a hat because tourists can't drive it in dry/sunny weather. Back when I was in college at UT, me and a friend decided to go to the mountains one night. It had just snowed pretty good, even for the mountains. Normally they close the Newfound Gap road or at least require chains. Not this night. So off we go up the mountain in my VW Karman Ghia. Absolutely the most snow I've ever seen, you couldn't tell where the trees started, it was all what, everything. We got up to the top to the Newfound Gap parking lot and they had plowed the snow into huge drifts. So I proceeded to drive at a 45 degree angle on the compacted snow banks. I can't believe they even had it open. We saw no one while we were up there. Great memories. Sorry... off track! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 850 freezing line is not far out though, may be an hour or so till they see it falling. They are always the 1st to see wintry precip when comparing to other locations across the Apps.

Before 7:30am during late Fall they dont close the Pkwy even when media outlets scream snow (they usually close days ahead). They sometimes have asked me to leave as they are waiting for me to leave the pkwy to close it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LithiaWx Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I think we will see flakes- the hi-res models are pretty adamant, at least north of perimeter.... That's nice to hear! The last time I saw a couple sand sized flakes and was not impressed. I hope I do better this time. What I worry about on the hi-res which I have not seen the 12Z runs, I did look at the RUC, is that the moisture is just not going to be enough to squeeze out anything more than a flurry or two, at least where I am in Marietta. I would love a quick snow shower but I fear that's asking too much. as for OBS : 54.7 Skies are trying to clear and there have been a few hefty gusts over the last few minutes. It think the leading edge of the cold air is knocking on my door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LithiaWx Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Temp starting to drop pretty fast and steadily now. 52.5 FFC says transition will occur quicker than originally thought which could be beneficial if we get the moisture. .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... SURFACE LOW PRESSURE HAS TRANSITIONED OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION TODAY...AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT IS PUSHING THROUGH ALABAMA THIS AFTERNOON. THIS BOUNDARY IS PROGGED TO SWEEP THROUGH THE STATE THIS EVENING...BRINGING MUCH DRIER AND COOLER CONDITIONS TO THE AREA. MEANWHILE...AHEAD OF THE FRONT...REMAINING MOISTURE OVER NORTH GEORGIA...COMBINED WITH THE GULF MOISTURE USHERED IN BY THE SOUTHERLY FLOW...WILL SUPPORT LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS TO CONTINUE ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA. AS COLDER TEMPERATURES ENTER THE STATE AS A RESULT OF THE COLD FRONT...EXPECT A TRANSITION FROM RAIN TO SNOW ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA. LATEST MODEL SOLUTIONS ARE A LITTLE FASTER WITH THE TRANSITION THAN THE PREVIOUS RUNS...AND HAVE OPTED TO START THE ADVISORY A LITTLE EARLIER AT 22Z THIS AFTERNOON. OVERALL...EXPECTING ACCUMULATIONS TO BE LESS THAN 1 INCH...WITH THE GREATEST ACCUMULATIONS IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS. WITH WARM SURFACE TEMPERATURES...MOST OF THE ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE ON THE ELEVATED SURFACES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
