I probably have 1/2" at this point, hoping to get those waffle flakes they have been having in downtown ATL. Those generally come with the changeover, so you should get them eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1bert1 Posted Friday at 01:09 PM Share Posted Friday at 01:09 PM It sleeted here for 2 hours. Then it stopped and now it is starting to snow, no sleet. I am under heavier returns now. I think there must be a higher dry layer that is getting saturated. I am 25 miles north of Augusta, GA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDawg Posted Friday at 01:09 PM Share Posted Friday at 01:09 PM Have seen reports of nearly 3 inches in west Atlanta suburbs (Paulding county) and a friend in McDonough south of the city saying there is at least an inch. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olafminesaw Posted Friday at 01:14 PM Share Posted Friday at 01:14 PM RAH has onset much later than many of the news outlets which are saying 12-3. I am guessing somewhere in between, around 4ish for the triad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacoma Posted Friday at 01:14 PM Share Posted Friday at 01:14 PM Can't quite believe that with this type Miller A that Asheville is only showing 2.5 inches. Coming in from the southwest is usually our best set-up, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really aren't any models showing precip before around 5pm, but also these overrunning events tend to start 2-3 hours earlier than modeled (at least as far as light flurry action goes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kvegas-wx Posted Friday at 01:25 PM Share Posted Friday at 01:25 PM 3 minutes ago, StantonParkHoya said: There’s no chance it takes 12 hours to get here 100% agree. I'm expecting snow into CLT by noon and the triad by 2. Many posts from GA saying the precip was a couple hours ahead of schedule. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherfide Posted Friday at 01:30 PM Share Posted Friday at 01:30 PM I think i've got about 2" now! Snow keeps mixing back in to my sleet. Kids are going to try sledding the hill! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a5ehren Posted Friday at 01:32 PM Share Posted Friday at 01:32 PM FWIW the snow that initially breaks through is drier than what we usually get. Some of the overperformance might be because it is starting out at 10:1. Also not losing any to cool the ground, which is nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert (foothillswx) packbacker, griteater, Lookout, snojoe bigfrosty, coldrain, even widremann. Indeed, been here for about 10 trips around the sun and miss Coldrain and BigFrosty...but it's great to see new folks as well. Cheers folks, enjoy the ride! Hope everyone can get a solid run and keep the lights on. Be safe! I'm going with a solid 6" in my area from northern Watauga into Ashe. Gonna get snowed in with my grandson and make some sausage balls. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
