This storm is a good example of why you don't want to be in the bullseye several days out. We went from historic 6"+ amounts here in the ATL metro to 2-4", and maybe very little in the southern burbs. I'll be more than happy with 2-4" and enough ice to shut things down for a day or two though!

I think you will be surprised, 3-5" with some sleet/frzn, it will be pretty and great sledding weather, enjoy!

Update for Delta Air Lines' Winter Weather cancellations for Sunday and Monday, Jan. 9-10, 2010

Delta plans to operate normally in Atlanta through 8 p.m. ET Sunday. After this time, Delta has proactively cancelled approximately 330 mainline and Delta Connection flights systemwide Sunday evening.

We have planned approximately 1,400 Delta and Delta Connection flight cancellations systemwide Monday as the storm is at its peak, approximately 25% of all planned flights for the day.

Advance cancellations help Delta stay ahead of the storm and minimize lengthy delays for customers. Cancellations are timed based on the projected periods of heavy precipitation at the airport, including snow, sleet and freezing rain. Delta is proactively notifying customers directly if their flights are cancelled.

Customers flying to and from Atlanta are encouraged to check and change flights at delta.com before heading to the airport. On Friday, Delta began offering a winter weather travel waiver that allows customers traveling to, from or through Atlanta through Tuesday, Jan. 11 to change flights without fees. Details on our winter weather travel waiver are available athttp://www.delta.com/traveling_checkin/flight_status_updates/advisories/atlanta_winter10/index.jsp

The next operational update will be available at 9 a.m. ET Monday

We had the good fortune of moving away from Chattanooga over five years ago. If that godforsaken hellhole of a town gets a foot of snow, I'll have to hear about it from friends on Facebook for a month.

The low is moving NE from TX and drilling the Hot Springs area of AR and eastern OK. TN is in for a pounding. No frozen precip out of this south of a Waco to Crocket line here in TX.

Was hoping to just get snow and sleet, hope this changes! Do like the amounts though!

Apparently the NWS doesn't think so. Area downgraded to Advisory. Don't know what to think. Seeing different things everywhere I look.

NWS is smart to do that. Model consensus isn't there and with a dying storm, it's going to come down to nowcasting. I think we have a good, if not greater chance of this being just a minor nuisance storm than warning criteria. They can always upgrade tomorrow morning if need be.

I guess whatever happens will happen, but this looks like a big fail for the Triangle now. Downgarded to an advisory and doesn't look like we will have the precip for this to be anything but a nuisance. I'd rather it not do anything at all if it isn't going to be anything but that.

Brick, do you remember that post where I told you how to do things so you wouldn't post things like this?

RAH is being conservative. The higher QPF is a recent trend in the last 12 hours or so.
