Probably most of the remaining southeastern US. They are getting hammered. I'm thrilled for them. That's awesome

Clouds have noticeably lowered in New Bern last 30 minutes or so

So far, Mobile has picked up 2.8" of snow today. That breaks the daily record of a trace that was set in 1979 and tied in 2022.

Meanwhile, at Gulf Breeze, FL, the ground is now dusted by snow and sea smoke is rising from the Gulf of Mexico.

Meanwhile, at New Orleans:

and there's hours more of precip to come... we are witnessing history

Radar and mping reports indicate that the “snow finger” modeled is verifying across the midlands of SC. This is good news for central NC as it is oriented to move into that region soon. This will help to saturate the column and as forcing increases this evening it should help maximize the snowfall as less will be burnt through evaporation

Snowing in New Bern

[NorthHillsWx]

Clouds are lowering here. 27.5

[StantonParkHoya]

It’s encouraging we’re already getting some flurries / light snow here at 2pm… way ahead of schedule

[SnowDeac]

Light snow in Monroe, only about 12 miles from me. Not surprised the "finger" of moisture is setting up just so tantalizingly close to the east of CLT.

[Jonah]

Light snow in Gainesville 

[wx n of atl]

currently from the 40th floor in Atlanta, GA we have snowflakes

[NorthHillsWx]

That’s a VERY good sign downstream that it’s snowing in ATL

[Cheeznado]

Very small snowflakes here now.

[NavarreDon]

Puking snow in the Panhandle of FL!!!

[SnowGoose69]

Airport camera in ATL looks like VIS is down to 2-3 miles 

[Chinook]

remember to show this to your kids, as the one and only time Lake Charles Louisiana NWS Office issued a blizzard warning

[bankdawg]

fluries started here about 2:30.   Snowing decently now 30 min later, building up on deck.   First snow since 2018

[btownheel]

I well might be wishcasting, but that radar precip shield looks a good bit better than modeled.

Nothing in James City.

[Snowacane]

Temp here 27, DP 3.1

[DeltaPilot]

Solid light snow now, roof picking up a coating. 28 degrees

[SnowDawg]

Light snow for about last half hour here. We'll see how long it keeps up but will definitely see at least a dusting, which is more than was forecast so I'll take it.

[SnowDeac]

Sister says it's snowing "hard" (probably moderate) in Buckhead, ATL. Great to hear! So many people in the south cashing in, and historic storm for those who usually get the least.

[yotaman]

Flakes now in James City just outside of New Bern. Temp at 29/20.
