GaWx Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Do you have any reason to believe we might go back to ZR for a little while? It's mentioned in my forecast so I'm curious to hear your opinion. I suppose it is possible if precip. gets much lighter. But overall I have no reason to not think that the majority continues as sleet for a good number of hours to come. I'm still thinking we will end up with a nice IP accumulation before the snow toward the end. I was so happy to see the sleet when I awoke because it was still ZR when I had gone to sleep.Edit: 29.1, about coldest yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wx n of atl Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 29 degrees Dew pt 27 Similar conditions as Larry. Look forward to seeing the snowflakes fly tonight! Do we have any new data showing how high the winds will be? Totally respect all of you who have contributed over the last several day on this storm, and for the entire winter season! You seriously are awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikepie Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Apparently KATL is reporting 0.27" of ZR to this point. Seems like they are right on the ZR/IP line, then. I'm 2 miles N of KATL and I think I've seen a bit less than that....but there are lots of power outages just to my south which would support some higher accumulations. I've been mostly sleet since about 6 AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oconeexman Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 cool thanksSo you've had about 2" of new snow today if I'm seeing that right? I've only got .75" here continuing with the miniscule sized flakes. Just not a lot of moisture up this way. Thankfully Phil eased my mind some!

NoDa-wx Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Snow just started here. Let's get this party started! Been looking out the window at my office all morning waiting to see the flakes. boss made us come in because "we're not getting anything until this afternoon" according to her. I'll be gone by luncch at the latest. Bonus was my normally 30 minute commute took about 17 minutes this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxKnurd Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Snow just started here. Let's get this party started! Awesome. Took a little while longer than I thought it would when I went to bed after the Euro last night. Dew point was 28 and wasn't thinking we'd get below 20 for it. 5 hours later I wake up and it had plummeted to 14! Should start any time now where I am to your nw.

GAdawg Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I have had steady sleet and gusty winds. Would really like some snow on top of the sleet. hoping to get some soon maybe. At times radar looks like it should be snowing here but nothing other than sleet. It is 27.5 here down a degree just 3 miles north of Loganville.

NEGa Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 So you've had about 2" of new snow today if I'm seeing that right? I've only got .75" here continuing with the miniscule sized flakes. Just not a lot of moisture up this way. Thankfully Phil eased my mind some! i think that is accurate. i tried to measure a few places on the driveway and on top of the previous snow and came up with 1.75-2" of course i have no idea of compaction and honestly at this point i have come to the conclusion unless we just get some heavy snow without the winds getting an accurate measurement just may not be possible today lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LovingGulfLows Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 And it's done. Almost dry here except a few random snowflakes falling. Ended up with barely .15 of ice with around .5-1 inch of sleet depending on where you measure. I honestly thought I'd get wayyyy more ice. #thankyouweather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
