ayuud11 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 4500 kids stuck at a school near Atlanta. Ouch. After Winter Storm Leon dumped as much as 3 inches of snow on metro Atlanta Tuesday, the city's school system struggled to get children home as buses slogged through traffic-choked streets and some schools gave up entirely on getting students home. By Tuesday night, students were still stranded in Cobb, Fulton, Cherokee, Barton Counties and Marietta City schools and officials expected many students to have to stay overnight. Across the Metro Atlanta area, parents were frustrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdd9108 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Wow this is crazy a simple 1-3 clipper here is like another day at the office for us. Down the south 3 inches shuts down a city. This storm is living up to the hype especially considering the location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 4500 kids stuck at a school near Atlanta. Ouch. I can't even imagine. Schools and businesses decided to simultaneously all let people go home early around noon today after it was too late. Snow seldomly happens as it is down there, but the cold temps that were in place for the snow (low-mid 20s) is something more to the tune of what we would see up here except they have a lack of resources to deal with it. Tack on the fact that it's probably one of the worse cities in the country when it comes to rush hour traffic and you got yourselves a debacle. Even though they were on the edge of the storm and about as much on the fence as say, DC was... I still can't believe the city was this much caught off guard for a storm that has been advertised to impact the deep south for the last few days.

MAG5035 Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Holy 0z GFS y'all. Well that escalated quickly.. about on par with last nights Euro run. That's moderate to major snow for everyone in here, 850 line stays just below the mason dixon and goes right over Philly. Note the smaller event Monday preceding the big storm that gets some snow into southern PA. This was a feature on that particular Euro run last night.

I lived in the northern suburbs up until college and some of the stuff I've been hearing is hard to believe...my dad had to abandon his car after running out of gas after 6 hours in traffic and walk home from work. Not a huge storm, but the timing and lack of media attention really made it into a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heavy_wx Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Some pretty interesting analogs showing up based on the day 8 forecast of the 00z Euro ensemble mean.

PennMan Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 -2° in Bellefonte when I left for work...might have fallen another degree since then. If not for the clouds the first half of the night we probably could have dropped another 5°. Quite a few locations in NW and NC PA reporting -10 to -20° this morning.
