February 16th - February 17th Snow/Ice Storm OBS

Had a long break in precip and managed to get back to 34 but temp is back to 33.5 and the dewpoint has actually gone back down to 25 so if steady precip gets here, looks like some icing will occur. in fact, looking at wetbulbs currently, most areas from the northeast burbs of atlanta and up the 85 corridor should see some. Gainesville is even down to 28.9 over 24. They could be in a for a very long night along with the upstate.

 

setting here 29 have yet to get above 32 since it dropped below

Its 31/25 here in GreenWood, SC. Sleet earlier. I am in between precip at the moment, but like someone else posted my winds have also turned back from northeast. They were easterly.

I am in Cumming near the Dawson / Forsyth / Hall county lines. Deck and items on the deck have a coating of ice. Temp is holding at ~30F.

That's exactly where I just was, and was about to post the same think. MLK and S Roxboro though actually. Wouldn't that be more SW Durham? Nothing as of right now off Woodcroft :(

The radar has finally filled in but we're still getting virga in west Durham. Hopefully that will change soon  :wacko:

Temps are dropping like a rock with this heavier precipitation... 30.6/25 now...

 

Edit: Sleet mixing back in now that the intensity has picked up... 

 

 

I should also include that the Temps I am getting are from my davis weather station at work which is located within 100 yards of Lake Hartwell. It is usually the warmest Temperature in the area.

Nice. Sure is going to be interesting to see how surface temps respond through the evening since the models have done such a piss poor job of seeing the cold thus far.

Its 31/25 here in GreenWood, SC. Sleet earlier. I am in between precip at the moment, but like someone else posted my winds have also turned back from northeast. They were easterly.

another area that models like the nam said you had NO chance of seeing freezing temps. In fact the nam says you should be in the low 40s! Just 10 degrees off lol.

 

It sure would be fun if the models busted this badly all the time. i mean they normally miss it by 1 to 3 degrees in most cad situations but this is a lot more than usual. Question is, does this continue through the night or long enough to cause big problems in the areas that weren't expecting much.

 

If the surface low takes a further south track, the cold should stay locked in for many areas. Of course the models say no and have it track right over atlanta, just south of athens to columbia and floods the entire low levels with warm air. It's hard to see how this happens when the models are so wrong about the maginitude of the cold. It's going to be truly fascinating to see what happens. It's going to be a great learning experience either way. that's the good thing about wedges, each one is unique in it's own way and you learn something with each one.
