wx n of atl Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 It has stopped now, but I did see tiny flakes briefly and would guess sleet, but couldn't really tell. I am several floors up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlantaThrasher Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 TWC is now forecasting less than one inch of snow as far north as Cartersville. They're going to get people hurt by downplaying this so heavily... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlaringSun Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 37 degrees now with a dewpoint of 26. This is concerning, atleast for the next few hours... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookout Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Already??? Are you sure? That would be huge. It's not very surprising or even unexpected. The airmass is very dry throughout the column which is allowing the flakes to survive the trip despite temps from the surface up through 750mb being above freezing. In fact the nam has pretty much an all snow sounding for atlanta through 21z. The question is are the models correct in bringing in the warm air aloft or if they are over doing it and not taking into account dynamical cooling enough. Recent runs of the nam/rap show its possible so we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CherokeeGA Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 We humans may agonize over models, but the animals know what's up. We just caught two sparrows trying to build a nest in the wreath on our front door, deep at the back of our covered porch. Regretfully I had to take down the wreath just because it's our main entrance and they would likely fly into the house if we opened the door while they were there. 32 degrees, dewpoint 27. Sky's lookin heavy but no flakes quite yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikepie Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 winter precip (mainly giant sleet pingers) seems to be winning out for me. Folks upstream...these are giant sleet pellets....your snowflake size might be giant up north! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavarreDon Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 44° with heavy rain & thunder down here on the Panhandle Coast. Temp cooler than the forecast by about 8° also, no mention of thunder for us by MOB. So you guys upstream take it for what it's worth. Good Luck to all!

Looks like GSO is 41/20 as of 1 PM. I think our forecasted high was in the low 40s, so hopefully we top out soon. More clouds are moving in now.
