Well for some this turned into a major snowstorm (including for me, by southern standards of course). But yes, we are all snow hungry.
-
So yesterday I was supposed to hit 41 and hit 33.9. Today I was supposed to hit about 51 and hit 42.3. Sun never really came out till briefly right at sunset. Wind stayed easterly albeit very light. Did the intense snow create some kind of a strong pseudo wedge that just didn't break down? Hmmm. BTW, all the snow had almost completely melted so I drove to Sawnee Mountain (1945') about 2 miles to my SE and there was still the slightest evidence of a snowstorm. Gotta love some elevation.
-
Lookout, I've been on these boards for years and always look forward to your contributions. Did you at least see anything accumulate? I read through these pages and don't see anything about you.
-
It was also amazing the temp difference in North GA today. While Gainesville only hit 33, my station only hit 33.9, Atlanta hit 45 and Peachtree City hit 49! Next issue is freezing fog. Can anyone that had accumulating snow see anything outside? The fog is as dense as I've ever seen it here. Temp is 31.2 and probably will end up in the upper 20s in the morning. Crazy weather (and I'm loving it!)
-
Well, this overperformed according to forecasts I would say. I got about 3-3.5" here on the NW side of Cumming. Beautiful snow day today. Only 33 now.
-
That is crazy. Goes from a warning in my county to nothing in south Fulton and Douglas. Just means I'll be smelling the rain all day here but hopefully will stay on the good side. It's only 28 here btw.
-
Happy. Can't beat being in the bullseye only 12 or so hours out. You're sitting pretty up there. 30.4 here
-
That shows me with about 3.5". I don't expect that but would love every second of it!
-
I'm down to 31.8 and hoping for greatness in the morning!
-
According to that I'm at 1214'. Nice to know. Knew I was somewhere around there.
-
I will be ecstatic if that kinda radar comes to fruition! Can you say huge wet flakes?! What time is that for?
-
I'm on a ridge but already down to 32.6. Valleys are down below freezing with all night to drop as clouds have cleared. If winds die down, temps will drop well into the 20s. Temps can only recover so much from a cold night with clouds moving back in. Oh the hopes of snow for tomorrow morning. I'm giddy!
-
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for all of us in North GA. Hopefully you get accumulation too. Got any elevation over there?
-
Well even if they get more to your SW along the higher ridgeline, you're still sitting VERY pretty up there with that much elevation. I'm only at 1200' down here so my "saving grace" will be early timing. I will be happy with a solid dusting. I'm sure due south of you in the lower elevations of Habersham Co. will have significantly lower totals and will melt early. Would be an interesting drive to see.
-
I'm not sure if this will have eventual consequences in the morning but my temp never got above about 37 today with cloudy skies and right now at sunset it's starting to clear out and I'm down to 35. Maybe that will mean colder tonight as clouds move in and warm us up.
-
If I were you(given how this winter has been), I would be like a kid in a candy store right now. You will most likely get plastered. What's your elevation up there?
-
That has my entire county in yellows which I'm guessing is snow with more streaming in from the SW! IF something like that were to happen the dynamic cooling from the heavier snow would most certainly allow temps to drop to at least freezing. Soooo nice to look at but I'll take whatever I can get.
-
I know that's not exactly what will happen but that shows NE Forsyth County GA getting heavy snow with rain for me on the NW side. I'd cry....
-
Well this is getting me excited then. What do you think about my area in NW Forsyth? I suppose it's mainly a timing thing (and enough precip), but if we get enough precip early enough, inch or so maybe?
-
Given no more rain falls, my total from this system will be an impressive 5.65". They said 2-4" with locally up to 6". I never seem to end up in the "locally" total area. If it's not gonna snow this winter, at least I'm "winning" on the rain side.
-
At one point the entire North GA counties were all under flood warnings. I don't believe I've ever seen that. FFC radar estimates look pretty close to reality; it shows a small pocket of 5-6" about half a mile to my west and my cocorahs guage recorded 5.65" in NW Forsyth. This means in 2020 (37 days) I've received a whopping 13.22"!.
