We’ve reached the portion of our programming where we have two separate camps of weenies: 1) Northern / Mtn / Foothills weenies who are rooting for amped juicy phaser, mixing for brethren be damned; and 2) Eastern/Southern weenies who will take a slider / weaker / colder option, flurries or cloudy for brethren be damned.

I am rooting for the weaker version for now, because I know it will amp up right before game time.

There hasn’t been a truer statement spoken hahaha. You all are majorly winning too.

 Fellow wx weenies, I need some advice. If you were in Savannah with no chance for wintry precip, would you drive 4-5 hours to N Gwinnett county (NE of ATL) on Thu if family or friends offered you a room to stay in for the weekend and enjoy it with them? It is a few miles S of the Mall of GA.

 This could easily be ATL’s biggest winter storm in 11 years and years til the next major one. I haven’t seen a flake or pellet in 7 years! But I’m worried ATL is going to get mainly ZR. While ice looks pretty and would be exciting to see, heavy ZR could mean long outages/no TV/cold inside and no snow or sleet to look at and walk in. So, it could get miserable. If I knew it were going to be nearly all snow and sleet, it would be an easy decision.

 Weenies, what would you do?

I think Brad’s first call map seems pretty spot on with where we stand. My early call to colleagues at work today here in Hickory was 2-4 inches. Of course, I gave the usual caveats that it could be more and it could be less: Snow in the SE is never an easy forecast.

So, put that all together, and I went out on a limb with a forecast of 0-12 inches for Hickory. Bank on it!

I would not. If it looked like a blockbuster, yes. Not for this.

I would stay home. More than likely an ice storm in that parts. It's right on that zone of snow or ice

I live in Buford, on the Hall County line and we should be primarily snow during the event. I would absolutely make the trip if I were you. As you can see, I am no expert, so take that with a grain of salt. Lol.

Unless you don’t like the family members too much, i would go for it. The chance for glory is worth the risk you might not have TV for a bit, in my humble opinion.
