weatherfide Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Light snow/sleet starting again in Fayetteville, GA. It may not last long before turning to freezing rain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmersonGA Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Moderate snow here still. Pretty cool to see blowing and driftin snow. Lots of abandoned sleds on the street when I went for a walk. Snow is too fluffy for sledding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWY316wx Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Heavy snow/fog continues..About 4 inches here and counting. Unbelievable how quick it piled up. Even better the radar is filling in nicely south of here so more to come. Dude, very happy that you have been able to cash in on this one! The snow right now is very small flakes but lots of them. Not the big fluffy kind, however the snow is very fluffy. Care to talk about how long you expect the precip to hang on? I see that big hole back in MS and SW Alabama racing this way.

Itunis Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Very tight gradient between snow and sleet /freezing rain . Pretty incredible that 850mb temps of -4c to -5c near athens while the waa is taking hold along the ga/al border. Have to love the wedge. Reports of freezing rain in spots now south and west of town. So snow should hold on for quite a while longer in the east/north than the atlanta metro it would seem. But this is bad news if we see all that is on radar as sleet/freezing rain on top of several inches of snow in the atlanta area..especially west and south of town. Atlanta traffic cancel. I don't mind the sleet, it compacts the snow a bit but gives it a hell of a staying power. Currently in a lull and thus have a sleet/snow mix, but looks like some heavier precip moving in will turn us north of the metro back to all snow for a bit. Even if we don't switch back, 4" of snow with an inch or so of sleet + a solid glaze of us will shut us down for a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Snowing moderate to heavy right now in Chatsworth. Took a while to get started but finally did @ approx. 11:30pm. Kind of envious on what locations around Atlanta have gotten so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itunis Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Got a report that it's snowing again at the ATL airport per talkweather, very good sign for those of us in ATL that we'll flip back to snow as we get more heavy precip. 4.25" here, the sleet is still adding to snow totals.

DixieBlizzard Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I measured 3.5 inches since the 1st flake fell at 10:20. Nice rate! I have 3 contours of blue around me on that map. I'm feeling good we stay snow for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaculaWeather Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Amazing how quickly you Ga folks piled up snow. HOpe the same holds true up here. It was reported that we were getting 2-3" per hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DopplerWx Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Radar looks bad for Charleston, heavy returns are to our north. Good to hear it snowing in St George though, we just need some returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaPilot Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Got returns here...but little if anything coming down.....just barely spitting some snow grains/sleet. Wont accumulate to much of anything at this rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsaur Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Back to half snow half sleet. As long as it stays pink down toward LaGrange I can maybe get some to accumulate. I hate being dry slotted. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DixieBlizzard Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Awesome! You might be right about me getting 6" I don't even want to hazard a guess at what you'll end up with. Itunis, I know you think I'm probably just a snow weenie. Well, I am. I have loved snow since I was a little kid and I wanted to understand what makes it snow in Alabama, Birmingham specifically. I talked to JB Elliot when he was Chief Met for BMX throughout my childhood because the poor guy lived in MY neighborhood! LOL! Anyway, I always gave more credence to storm track than ANYTHING else including all models. This track was just perfect for a Dixie Blizzard. I LOVE this type of storm. I wish it happened more often but that's what makes it special. Congrats on your snow buddy....you WILL get your 6 or maybe an inch or two more.

EmersonGA Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Maybe the night shift at FFC bought into the low forecast, waited too late to leave for work, and got stuck on the road. Might explain the lack of update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
