@Shack i think you are somewhat near my old stomping grounds (grew up in Fort Valley).  I don't even regret missing out on this one here in N GA.  I remember all those years down in Peach county watching the 6 o'clock news  and seeing the snow line at Atlanta and above   So I am enjoying this one as much or more than if it was happening in my backyard, because i know what its like when the only excitement for years is when they put 20% chance of snow in the extended forecast.  Hope the storm overperforms down there big time.   I'll never forget 1973 when i was in second grade.  that started a life long love of snow.    watching the 13 wmaz livestream its bringing back memories.  can't believe Frank Malloy is still there.  He's got to be 90, but doesn't look a year past 50.  Or maybe my sense of time has gone bad.  anyway, I'm just shouting out to the S. Ga folks i couldn't be happier!

Glad to hear you escaped ! I have good friends from Peach County.   I was around for Feb '73.   Thomaston area, then.  Second grade, too.  Got almost two feet  !

Still steady light snow but only about an inch here, thus far.  Hoping that those heavier returns in Alabama make it here. (And Frank Malloy has obviously been drinking the same water as Dick Clark, Tom Cruise, etc)

WRAL going with whatever model shows the lowest amounts for their call. Is that really making a call if that's what you do all the time so you don't bust too high?

I hate WRAL from their news reporting to their opinion pieces to their weather forecasting. That’s why I joined this board. They lost me with the 2010 storm

The frontogenesis models showed 30-40 miles south of ATL as often happens verified about that distance north which is why that corridor had a period of moderate snow and so far Macon and other locations were light, probably had some subsidence

I just measured, 3 places, right at 1" as of about 5 minutes ago. Couple miles SE of KFFC.  Snowing pretty good still here. ATM I'd call it light to occasional moderate. Im guessing we could get close to 2 here

if this keeps up for another couple more hours.  KFFC Metar is 1/2 M  SN FZFG. Interestingly, it did not stick to the roads for quite a while.

I have joked about there being a snow hole over Knightdale area where I’ve literally had a dusting and everyone around me get at least an inch. I’m looking at the radar now and I see this hole again. Is there any rhyme or reason to this because it can’t just be ironic. At least I’m on the cusp of it tonight.
