Not sure what impact that will have downstream. Or maybe I'm just seeing things! Nah. Just a dissipation of the band on the SW side and an increase in precip on the NE side as it merges with the band behind it giving the illusion of a more NE movement.

GaWx Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I heard there was 1/4" in north Marietta on the roads! Dangerous for driving now? Really beautiful in Dunwoody. Temp fell from 34 to 32 with significant snow shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marietta but per radar they got hit with a stronger band than I did here so it's possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Rain Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Folks in our Atlanta office are going home early...for flurries! They don't want to get caught in Snowjam 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The radar is looking pretty good out west now. lol CR why are you worried about temps? Steep lapse rates will take care of it, have you noticed them crashing now? 37 now at RDU Dropping like a rock. If anything the 40's and sunny sky increased CAPE and instability for #thundersnow later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrips27 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 It got a little wispy on the roads but nothing significant. Temp was 33 so it melted pretty quickly. I doubt N Marietta was any different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate relying on lapse rates, cloud cover, dynamic cooling, sun angles, moon angles, night time, or overturned ice trucks to get temps below freezing. But yeah, in this case, it probably won't be a big deal. On 2/18/2015 at 6:52 PM, MariettaWx said: oh for fooks sake, really? I sheet you not.

It is supposed to build. It may be, but you can't see that area because no radar is low enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CherokeeGA Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Well, it's super windy, gusting up to about 25 now. Thankfully we had about an hour of sunlight and that melted some but not all of the ice off the trees, so the pines aren't leaning over quite as badly as they were. We are getting tiny tiny flurry bursts, so I guess I can officially say that this winter was not a complete snow shut out here, even though these little flakes won't stick.

Might still do it some dark clouds are starting to roll in now just gotta keep that band together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
