Shawn Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I'm in Gaston......about 25 miles sw of CAE(airport) as the crow flies. Are you sure it's sleet mixing in and not snow grains? Do you see them really not bouncing like sleet and not breaking up? If so, that wouldn't be sleet. We have a tiny bit of that in here but sleet should NOT be mixing in even in Gaston yet.

NEGa Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 these were taken just a few minutes ago...thats the snow rate even though the radar doesnt really show it and my front porch lol. about 8" so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormsfury Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 This is the first time I can remember enjoying waking up after 4 hrs of sleep on a Monday It's pouring sleet/snow I can just make out the treeline across the street... precip has slowed down quite a bit but wouldn't be surprised to see more lightning like I did earlier lol. just can't get precip to set up in a band to get the temperatures top-down cooler to support more frozen than freezing at the moment. down to 30 now at Summerville Airport.

gritsnc Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I'm hoping we can get some snow to start falling here before the sun comes up, not sure it's going to happen. Currently 27 and dry as a bone. Hi neighbor! I'm from K-Vegas too! I'm still waiting for that snow too. Heading to work in about 30 minutes.

I had snow grains earlier this morning about 4 hours ago or so. picked up a few off the hood of my car and hadn't seen that in a long time.

I'm positive it's sleet The soundings don't show it, but at times it's mixing in pretty good here. The pinging on the windows gets quite loud..lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookout Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 i have been watcing with awe the snow flying around off the roof, across the road, etc. some pretty big flakes falling now, hoping to see another band of heavier snow lol measurements now are starting to include amounts close to 8" Yeah it's been an amazing sight. The wind is blowing the snow off the roof and it's running off like water. Wind is howling now, like you said, well into the 20s. In fact I have had a top gust of 33mph. It's brutal out there...dare I say almost blizzard like lol I manned up and walked around and measured and it was more than I thought. On average there is 10 inches with some 12 inch amounts scattered about. Very hard to get a gauge on the exact amount due to the drifting. I guess I could Have a little bit of a break but more heavy showery elements on the way. Channel 2 is reporting 10 in athens so that sounds about right. Here is the total from jgx...it's very hard also to get a legit total here via radar because I happen to be almost exactly the same long distance from each radar. Plus it's hard anyway to get an idea just using radar estimates because they never show much very far away from the radar. But you can get an idea from the 1 inch liquid you see to the west and south of me. Indeed there is even a 1.5 mark showing up. A lot of that fell with the initial band where there was 35 to 40dbz for a while. I did in fact get into some of those 40 dbzs for a time. To my knowledge that was ALL snow there. It was not sleet contaminated as soundings were solidly in the snow category unlike toward the west where there was a very shallow mid level warm pocket near atlanta at first (and thus some started as sleet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaculaWeather Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 About 2 miles Northeast of Downtown Dacula. Right along the Gwinnett/Barrow county line. Along GA 324. Use to live off Fence Road, know exactly where you are over there, I'm now over on the Harbins side of 316. We still have light to moderate snow at times, starting to hear a little sleet mixing in. I'm waiting for the snow to melt from my CoCoRaHS gauge to see what the liquid amount was. My official report is going to be 7.5" at 6:45 am.

It lived a very long life I'm sorry to say..sorry bastard should have been executed 10 years ago..would have saved me a lot of grief lol. Btw..depending on the final amount, this gives me well over 30 inches here since last year. (That is counting the number of inches I know i lost to melting..actual accumulation around 30 inches) It's really been an amazing 2 winters. btw, did anyone check out those civil service emergency messages out of alabama since last night? They have been closing virtually every road in places..but what's more amazing is it was mostly in south central to southern alabama due to the ice. That is unreal.

lilj4425 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Very light snow here now, the radar really went to crap. Happens every time in this area. It looks like i'll end up with at least six inches though so i'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaculaWeather Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I think a lot of what's falling now is starting to get hard to pick up on the radar. You can see from my GRLevel3 loop, there is still plenty as far back as the Alabama line, and probably further. Based on the echo intensity, it's probably sleet. http://www.daculaweather.com/grlevel3/ffc_284.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
