DixieBlizzard Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I posted this in the storm disco thread, but it applies here too... In GA, along and north of a line from Augusta to Peachtree City (DP that is you), are no where near done with this storm based on what is coming upstream, and SPC critical thickness. Spot on. The snow line is moving SOUTH in GA. Ossman, to his credit, has been all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winterhawk Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Took the wife & a couple of her friends out for a little 4-wheeling in the neighborhood & donuts in the parking lot; just like old times back up north! Probably 4-5"; still snowing just not to beat the band.. Love the SNOW!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzannah Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I've read your posts about it, but never had heard it for myself until now... Thundersnow!!! How awesome! My kids had finally come down from their snow frenzey long enough to drift off to sleep...then woke up to rolling, roaring thunder. It scared them to death and are piled up in my bed. The sky is an eerie reddish color I've never seen before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoWeatherman Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 Bigger flakes now! For those south of the mountains in GA it looks like story of the night will be more sleet when the returns are lighter and more snow when heavier.

burrel2 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Already got a 1/2 inch on the ground here and it's really coming down. I would imagine the ratio's here are around 20:1 right now. Mesoanalysis has my 850 temp below -6 and that was before evap cooling is finished. The snow is extremely dry and fluffy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaPilot Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 One of the most awesome sights I have ever seen was climbing out of Buffalo on a winter night during a storm. Cleared the cloud tops at about 18K feet and as we got about 5-6 thousand feet above them we saw this gigantic spider like cloud to cloud bolt that just lit up the entire cloud deck for many miles....It rippled all around the very tops of the clouds.....Was the COOLEST example of TS I can possibly describe!

Batman Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Spot on. The snow line is moving SOUTH in GA. Ossman, to his credit, has been all over it. I noticed Ossman mentioned that tonoight as well. I was watching Channel 11 news just to see what the snow had done to ATL. and heard Ossman mention that the wedge could drive the snow line back southward. I hope that works out for us down here. Mostly sleet with some snow now. Coming down pretty good. Radar southwest of us looks pretty good right now. Hopefully, we can get some of this as snow. Eitehr way, I've got to get some sleep. Good luck to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OHSnow Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Yeah. I posted that in the other thread. Huntsville had 4" last hour and 7" in the last three hours. Looking at radar, they could end up with 12-20 inches, I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCMetroWinston Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Over a foot is inevitable in Huntsville. Already nearing 9 inches in some places there. http://www.whnt.com/weather/whnt-live-snow-stick-embed-code,0,6373428.htmlstory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Friend in ATL on Twitter just reported 5 inches - Snow still POURING down there in the Peachtree State. I think they may have a shot at 8-9 inches. Baroclinic leaf is not only holding together well - It is expanding in both areal coverage and intensity in the past three hours per natl radar. http://radar.weather.gov/Conus/full_loop.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 And as the snow begins here, I'm off to bed, have fun all I'll have a measurement in 6 hrs or so. Relatively heavy downfall and 27 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoWeatherman Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 Easily snowing the hardest I've seen yet. Hard to measure because it's blowing all over the place. Temp is 23.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still looking phenomenal for much of N GA over the next several hours, especially if we can continue snow instead of sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsaur Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I now have a sleet/snow mix starting to cover the deck Wahoo! Good for you I've got good sleet after a horrid dry slot for hours. There is plenty downstream and we won't get our heaviest until the low comes by and we get that narrow but potent final band. Just hoping it won't be zrain All our rain storms for the past few years seem to train west and north of us for hour after hour, but when the low comes by our totals bump up pretty well. The Christmas storm was a day of rain and an inch in the last few hours. I need a lot of sleet to coat my hill so I hope it stays filled in the rest of the night. And sure hope it stays snow/sleet for you. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
