superjames1992 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Its crazy how it goes from snow to rain every couple of miles and keeps switching Not uncommon in an elevation-dependent event. It is interesting to see, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LovingGulfLows Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 For those in NC, this storm will be rate dependant if you're on the edge...you guys will also have no sun to help with any accumulations. It's clear the storm has brought more cold air than forecasted. I think some of you may get a surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookout Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 unbelievable. how could i had not had a clue this time lol - it is pouring snow here right now. lol - i had no idea there was a chance imby...just north of here. i guess i kissed winter goodbye too early when it was so warm haha Been pouring snow here in gainesville for the past half hour...huge flakes..dusting to.about a half inch. Temp is 32/33 on the truck. I was hoping at best for a mix but didn't see it going over to all snow..especially since temps were so warm before started....surprise snows are the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfan98 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 For those in NC, this storm will be rate dependant if you're on the edge...you guys will also have no sun to help with any accumulations. It's clear the storm has brought more cold air than forecasted. I think some of you may get a surprise. I'm afraid that the heavy rates will stay to the south of where the 850's are cold enough. The only place in NC I could see a good surprise would be the northern VA border counties north of Wake if the storm can get cranking fast enough before moving offshore.

Snowless in Carrollton Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 38 and mostly rain in blue ridge. And as soon as I say that huge flakes start falling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oconeexman Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Heavy snow then light rain then heavy snow.....wtf? None in forecast nice surprise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoWeatherman Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Just measured 1 1/4" of snow here in Dahlonega and it's still pouring. TEmp is still above freezing at 33.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Models often do terribly with surface temps in situations like this, and it looks like another case of that in NE GA today. With heavy rates, surface temps rarely provide much of an issue if the mid-levels are okay, it seems. I think the warm BL was fairly shallow, too. I'm afraid that the heavy rates will stay to the south of where the 850's are cold enough. The only place in NC I could see a good surprise would be the northern VA border counties north of Wake if the storm can get cranking fast enough before moving offshore. Yeah, I don't think we're going to have much precip to work with, unfortunately. Oh, well. Looks like <0.1" is likely at this point, which won't do it other than maybe token flakes.

Lookout Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Taken a little while ago at a house I'm at. Some melted after it lighten up but other hiill tops are quite whiter. it's neat to see how just a little elevation makes a big difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 It is 38 with heavy rain in Atlanta right now and 62 in Macon. Wow. Those areas under a Winter Storm Warning in SW VA might be about to bust hard. The 18z NAM basically gets no precip up there at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping at best for a mix but didn't see it going over to all snow..especially since temps were so warm before started....surprise snows are the best thats for sure - and this is a complete surprise for me, first time in many years lol. i had no clue at all-just got home and its 31 with moderate snow and measured 1" on the deck LMAO talk about the shock of the year so far its a very heavy, wet snow and is sticking everywhere - its gorgeous. the roads are slushy as well - glad i came on home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
