Itunis Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 just wait...when it hits you have no idea how hard it is snowing. i cant even describe it, sort of like someone is emptying a bucket of snow. already 1.1" - everythings is completely covered. its coming down in waves Yep, you think it's coming down hard and then it ramps up even more. Back to a sleet/snow mix here as heavier returns start to move over the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoWeatherman Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 GA peeps, radar showing some bands trying to get their act together SW of ATL headed towards the 85 Corridor.. maybe south of that in a NE direction. You should see that happen the rest of the night as our best Omega's are yet to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuaincharlotte Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Richland Rd, just north of seneca and below Walhalla Hahaha - growing up, we used to always call that the "snow line" either side of it would be snow...more often than not, the Seneca side saw snow. My mom lives off of Earlstead Drive near Walhalla HS. She said it wasn't doing anything there about 10 mins ago. Keep me updated on your totals!

FoothillsNC Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Nothing here yet just west of Greenville. I noticed the pretty yellow to my southwest is going away though. i hope you're not using GSP radar. Use FFC or Dawson's or CAE, the beam near you won't show it til its on you. just wait...when it hits you have no idea how hard it is snowing. i cant even describe it, sort of like someone is emptying a bucket of snow. already 1.1" - everythings is completely covered. its coming down in waves Sounds great. Reminds me of what happened in March 09, where it was snowing so hard and piled up the fastest I'd ever seen. Enjoy! I'm trying to stay awake but I'm so sleepy I may nap 2 hours and set the clock....just hate missing the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itunis Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 FFC still hasn't updated, looks like there are already widespread 4"+ amounts from the city north with much more to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Weather Monger Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Anybody else got sleet mixing in? Did for a while. More grapple than sleet. Back to light snow now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeznado Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Quite an evening. Played trivia in ATL, incredible heavy snow band, 2" in an hour. Then our rather harrowing drive up I-85- heavy snow all the way, barely made it. Now in the motel in Lavomia (10 mi from the SC border) heavy snow just began here.

Will do, my stomping grounds are Walhalla, my High School...help coach football there now in spare time. Observation Flakes are getting bigger now, nickel to quarter sized!

HWY316wx Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Just measured again... 4.75" With some heavier bands to my SW... hoping for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonGA Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Just measured 4" in the yard. I went out to see if sleet was mixing in. It sounded like it but it was actually little snow grains. Currently 24.9 degrees. I guess FFC figured a WSW was enough and they could take the night off. Im off to bed. Hopefully Ill wake up to 8+ on the ground with the sound of thunder.

buckeyefan1 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Snow or sleet? Tiny flakes at first, then mixing with some sleet...it just spitting at the moment outside, but at least the moisture is trying to work its way down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaculaWeather Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I've had about 5" and Ken Cook said at least 1-3" more, I'm expecting around 8" before it's all over. Still snowing here. As a matter of fact, he just said a little wave coming in to enhance the moisture for the next 6 hours. That's why it's been building back into Alabama. I hate to go to sleep!

burrel2 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 The wind is just going crazy outside and blowing what little snow has accumulated all over the place. This is pretty wild. When the snow blows off the roof it looks like pixie dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
