NEGa Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 ok i am trying to stay calm and not make a complete weenie post but dangit i cant help it lol. you would not BELIEVE how hard it is snowing here right now. quartersize flakes and larger, you can hear the snow flakes. it got neighbors out staring and going OMG can you believe how hard it is snowing. amazing. the roads are now completely covered and all "old snow" covered. this is hard to believe. i dont think i have seen it snow this hard in ga ever, and the last time i saw anything like this was the 1996 blizzard in the mid atl. holy cow edited to add: i came in from walking in the snow and made the post without reading any others That band that started about 4:30 here was incredible. Heaviest snow I've ever seen. The flakes were almost tennis ball sized and I'm sure others nearby can back that statement up. Just went out and measure and we are right at 1.5". Light rain mixed with sleet currently with a temp of 32.6 We've got to get some heavier returns in here and take that snow line back south. yes i will completely back you up. those snowflakes are monster size. i have never seen it snow this hard in ga. second edit: 2.5" on the deck. 1.5 of that was from the storm the other day. we got about 1" in 30 min - that is amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sctvman Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 NWS in Charleston says some sleet may mix in with the rain N of I-26, especially till 7pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil882 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I'm sure. It's light rain right now. Well what is probably happening is that the rate is so light the snow is melting below the scanning level of the radar. This suggests that its the boundary layer and not any potential warm nose aloft that is resulting in the changeover. This should quickly change as rates start to increase significantly and consistently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artie Fufkin Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Just can't seem to get any kind of sustained snowfall rates here in north metro ATL. Starting to get that familiar uh-oh feeling about this event. Hoping we get bright-banded later and pick up a bunch in a short time window.

Zorian Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Wet sleet now, 39.8F. The "Atlanta hole", earlier, is approaching us. I'll play some virtual golf for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil882 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Still nothing but light rain here by the Donaldson Center. Ahhhh! Someone talk me off the ledge! Nothing to worry about... once the rates start to increase it should flip to all snow. Everyone upstream in northeast GA and those in Oconee and Pickens county have confirmed as much.

CarlHill Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 35 here in Easley, rain snow mix. Looks to me like half the storm has passed on radar and nothing but rain for the last hour and a half. I have to think this is going to kill our totals watching all of this wasted on rain so far, but I'm not a weather expert like many on here. I pray something changes soon.

LovingGulfLows Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 At least I set my expectations low before this storm began once I saw model trends. This clearly wasn't my winter. Still rain...thought I would have changed over by now, but clearly not...I guess I have to hope that maybe the cold low core tracks over me or something...get back end snow because yeah...this is not going to work out. This is like the 5th storm now since 2011 where I'm not outside looking in while those just north of me gets buckets of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
