GFS seems to be verifying much better on the snow fields currently. It appears to be the only model to have shown that tongue of mid level warmth over NE ga that is hurting their totals.

 

Path of the slp looks correct in the short term. 

 

Then, at 2am Savannah (first image) and off Hatteras sub 1k at 8am (second image). Path is more due northeast than curving up the coast.

That is about as good a snow track as you'll ever see around here. If that doesn't produce snow, I give up.

I agree! Its a beautiful track. Would like to see the low move a little slower and deepen more as it pulls south of Hatteras. But should still be enough as modeled to get the job done. Would be nice to have a nice 1040 high sitting over NYC too.

Yeah a big HP would be awesome. I wish we could have lasted as snow here for just a little longer.

From Peachtree City:

 

 

Area forecast discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City Georgia
846 PM EST Wednesday Feb 25 2015

Update...
major changes to the forecast for this winter storm. 00z ffc
sounding showed a very deep warm layer over ffc from around 915 mb
to 675 mb...or about over 7000 feet thick. This was being advected
northward ahead of the surface low that was over southern MS along the
Gulf Coast. 18z GFS showed the 850mb 0c degree isotherm holding from
near Cedartown to Canton to Gainesville through 06z. Then as the
surface low pulls off to our southeast...the colder air is pulled
southward. However as this happens the deepest moisture will be
exiting from the west. At this time most of the snow has switched
over to rain or freezing rain from Carrollton to Atlanta to Athens
with snow continuing across extreme north Georgia. What is now expected
to play out is a band of rain/freezing rain will remain nearly
stationary from Cedartown to Canton to Gainesville through
midnight...then switch over to snow or snow flurries before ending.
From Carrollton to Atlanta to Athens...rain will continue through
midnight...then switch over to a rain/snow mix...then finally
flurries before ending later tonight. Precipitation will remain as
rain from Franklin to Peachtree City to Madison until late tonight
when there will be a brief switch over to rain/snow or flurries.

Snow accumulations... very little...if any more additional snow is
expected from Carrollton to Atlanta to Athens. An additional 2 to 3
inches of snow is possible across extreme north Georgia

Ice accumulations...up to a tenth of an inch of ice is possible
through midnight from Cedartown to Canton to Gainesville. A glaze to
05 inch of ice is possible from northern Carroll County to northern
Fulton County to Athens.

Black ice will be possible in all areas including from Franklin to
peacthree city to Madison.

The Winter Storm Warning will be cancelled from Franklin to
Peachtree City to Madison. However a Special Weather Statement will
be issued for black ice for tomorrow morning due to residual water
on the roads that could freeze late tonight and early Thursday
morning.

The Winter Storm Warning will remain in effect for the remaining
areas due to either snow...freezing rain...sleet...and black ice.
