I’m biased but I’m not sure there are many places in the country that have gotten the shaft over 4-5 straight winters the way that region from NE Ga into the Upstate and foothills has. Especially considering there are many locations in there that had never recorded a winter without snow until going multiple years without finally broken by a few inches of wet wintry mix last year. I mean I live at around 2000 feet in the north Ga mountains, yet Albany GA has more snow than me over a 4 year stretch. Unfathomable…. We are due a win.

Only about 0.5-1.0" down here.

12z GFS looking like a few spots may be able to grab a few inches Saturday too. That is some macho vort

We are now under a Brine Warning. .

I just wanna point something out before we move on from the 15/16th in the spirit of philosophy, objectivity and fairness. These storm dates did not fail. What failed was our "regional backyard" ? I get the importance of actually getting it into our backyard - but that is unfortunately a myopic and frankly dim intelligence about the reality we are a part. This is the NAM's 24 hours - I'm just using it to make the point. There is a storm resulting from anticipating amplitude from over a week ago. Meteorologically, this is acceptable, particularly considering that this period was sussed out .. perhaps even 10 days prior. Again, it just ended up in southern Ontario and lower Quebec

12z gfs actually going back to a longer duration event along the border. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

In low places?

12z GFS says, nope, just kidding, not a single flake for us.

Is that much AN furnace or just mild?

Just got in from a walk---felt great at 46*. Solid snow-cover will be taking a beating today/tomorrow.

Your one day to break the streak was 38° It’s 7 days straight where most people work and live. +2.7° coming into today for BDL MTD.

West again on the gfs. Energy coming into Montana.

"Warm up" is doing some heavy lifting here.

Yeah…there’s lot of freezing fog in the valleys and at high elevation making rime ice. Freak and MWN post a lot of epic rime pics. Obviously that’s all supercooled droplets needing a cold surface to freeze/deposit on. I remember Fort Kent Will posting some good true IC pics (maybe vids) awhile back when he still lived up there.

Reggie is decent for Saturday PM over a chunk of SNE. Prob 1-2” of paste. It looks very threatening for beyond that but it’s 84 hours on the rgem.

Agreed.

Icon gives some snow ern areas Sunday night

The point is there was no week plus of 50’s and higher like some circles had. There was never a debate that it wasn’t going to go AN for a week or so . The argument was that it wasn’t going to be some all out furnace for 7-11 days . It wasn’t . Just a temporary mild up pattern

ICON is most similar to Euro. Has moderate snowfall just offshore. Started to look better early on but the trough is still positively tilted. With a positive tilt, it's limited in how far west it can get

Kinda of looks like it wants to load up on a little juice before it swings up thru us?

weather weenie is sometimes a literal phrase.

Yall remember when tomorrow was 5-10" for the area? Good times

Lot more rime ice when your up in the mountains, You can pick out the difference much easier.

Man, I am some rando that just moved here for work (well this is my wife’s hometown also). I’ve been called worse things. Most of them justified.

We used to get fake diamond dust all the time when I was living in Holden in the late 80s. It was really just some crappy snowflakes though which would happen when it got really frigid (usually low single digits or below zero), but not nearly cold enough for true Diamond dust. The house was kind of in an elevated valley around 1,000 feet so it was prob ideal for getting that type of setup.
