28/11 down from last post. 1 hour

Might not break 20 degrees for the next 8 days

We spent NYE at the Mt Washington hotel last year. Such a beautiful area up there, thankfully it wasn’t quite that cold

06z UKM QPF Snow:

For anyone that may have to travel into North AL..dont. Alot of reports of cars sliding off the roads coming in.

And for areas that don't see sleet, some blowing and drifting will be problems with wind gusts up to 25mph after the storm passes.

It happens in my job too as I have another power position. Half the time we deice, we dont have to. It costs thousands if dollars, wastes 15-30 mins, and spreads a ton of toxic chemicals. I often bypass the process when its not needed by a simple wing check. but in this day and age, you better be confident im your decision. You better be right in your decision. You better be in control of your decision, and you better be in the air safely and quickly in your decision. When it involves 1000 school kids you can’t say any of.

Got down to 4 overnight

It's been a while since we had a deep snowcover and 30mph winds to deal with.

KDFW now down to 23°F racing toward the teens. Grass starting to get covered in sleet. The second wave tonight may producer way more snow than thought and higher end ratios. Any thoughts? I can say we are out of the heavy ice/freezing rain accretion zone.

Big test for the NAM here vs. the GFS and now the Euro with its slightly colder outcome. I wonder if some of this will be rate dependent when the sleet line approaches, we should absolutely be ripping snow. 6Z Euro:

Mt Holly finally coming around. Slashed totals big time which is the right call - just took a while.

Its been showing up on the GEFS and EPS the last few runs too. Looks like a 1-2, maybe 3" potential on the op runs. A difference in location between the GFS and the Euro(further sw/south).

Looked st the models this morning Going with 6 to 10 for CPK. Good news is the sleet will make the pack even stronger/last longer.

It's cold folks

So does the radar- I havent looked at what is actually reaching tbe ground (some of this is virga), but the front edge of the returns are at the very western tip of Oconee Co (SC)/Rabun Co GA as of about 7:45 am- W-E orientation

Pretty good radar here and had sectors for close-up views. It's a small screen on mobile until you turn your phone sideways. https://cyclonicwx.com/radar/us/

11/-9 and a whopping -7/-12 at Deep Creek. Euro was a beaut to wake up to.

Some of the roads we use on our routes are going to be problematic if that occurs. PA895 west of New Ringgold has a deep cut and will probably blow shut if Pendot doesn't stay on top of things. The road to our one well (the "well in the woods" that I show in my videos) traverses an open field that is township maintained and will probably blow shut as well. It may not be until Wednesday that we won't have major problems to deal with.

Today…. Vs yesterday… .

Tiny pellets of graupel(?) or snow(?) less than half a mm across have broke through the surface in very limited amounts. Visibility remains in excess of 10 miles. Starting out at a frigid 16F with a DP of 9F. Winds about 7 mph from the NNE. EDIT: The column has flipped to being ready dramatically. Visibility is collapsing to a few miles and flurries are falling and accumulating on all surfaces.

Maybe they anticipate a further north trend?
