audioguy3107 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 16 minutes ago, Lookout said: I have a friend here that I stay with and who puts up with a thousand trips outside and to the window lol I think we are pretty much in the same boat and as good as place as any to be honest. Go any further NW and run the risk of it being drier..while further se and temps are an issue. Interesting to note...temps have been about 3 to 5 degrees colder than the models were showing back home...someone even said they saw a few flakes. I was conflicted about whether to leave or not since I've been thinking the models were probably 4 or 5 degrees too warm and with heavy precip/lift a much sooner changeover was possible. What forced my hand though was that models were warming temps aloft ever so slightly each run and chances of an earlier changeover was less and less. Will be interesting to see what actually happens. I'm about 15 min. south of you here in Flowery Branch...I think if we can hold off the bulk of the precip for a few more hours, we may be in the jackpot zone........guidance has shifted the heaviest band just north of the city, but I assume that's because of the borderline temps.......curious to see how borderline they'll be in this area once 9 or 10 o'clock rolls around. - Buck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvegas-wx Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Todays word of the day is...... Blossom. Used in a sentence......unless that radar blossoms all night long we aint getting 8" of snow. Round 1 over. Quick dusting in Kernersville (triad) and watching downstream for a lot more blossoming! Good luck folks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Touchet Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I find it amazing, buts it's 28 degrees here and sleeting pretty heavy. Not a single flake of snow yet today. Birmingham east. Radar shows snow, but it definitely not snowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlaringSun Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Radar is filling in again, but nothing is reaching the ground. TWC hourly forecast looks good, but I suppose that doesn't mean too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jburns Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 29 minutes ago, jburns said: Steady light snow continues. Temp has fallen to 33.9º which has allowed the snow to begin to stick to elevated surfaces and the longer grasses. A nice 5º drop in two hours. Paved areas are wet. No real change except a bit more ground coverage. The big news is I have now reached the freezing point. Let's rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceagewhereartthou Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 36/33 here in Easley. Nothing falling. Saw a little sleet piled against my gutters though. I think upstate is going to struggle with temps and transition the whole time. Then if we do transition, boundary layer temps are too warm for much accum.

NGTim Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 great to hear reports of huge flakes earlier. those are great. hope that translates down here later tonight. man after that 45 minutes of sleet went through its like nothing else is going to happen. but I know that was just the teaser (hopefully).

At last down here. Wasted precip. UR much deeper into the cold air than Atlanta is. Really surprised you haven't changed over yet. Must be a shallow layer of warmer air aloft as current analysis have 850 and 925 sub freezing. Should get scoured out as the heavier returns to your SW reach you.
