Just started here ~20 miles north of Augusta, GA. Radar is really filling in.

I am staying up as well. Been up 24 hours at least but the wedge is stubborn and more precip is headed this way. It is 24 degrees here with ZR and a little ip.

Yeah, I am one county to the south of the ice storm warnings and Helene with 100+ mph wind gusts ravaged my area. I hate the idea that some people that faced Helene will have to deal with this 1.5 years later.

GSP has issue ice storm warning for large area. https://www.weather.gov/gsp/

I remember Lookout from when this forum was eastern weather. Time flies!

It appears per radar that Augusta might be about to get hit hard with something! Yeah, I am 20 miles north of Augusta and it is finally changing over to snow.

Good breakdown...

I don't see any snow total posts from Augusta, GA. I am 20 miles north of Augusta and ended up with 2 inches. I tried to find a place to take a picture with no trees down but thanks to being in the eastern eyewall of Helene, I have extensive damage to trees all over my land due to 100+ mph wind gusts.

Here is the accumulation map from 73.

It just started snowing here.

When I lived on Beech Mountain back in 2010-2012 we had snow ratios of 40 to 1 to 60 to 1 in some very cold NWFS events. The temp was below 20 degrees to about 5 degrees during these events. The winter of 2010-2011 Beech Mt got 160 plus inches of snow.

Getting big flakes. I haven't seen snow here since 2021. Nice.

It sleeted here for 2 hours. Then it stopped and now it is starting to snow, no sleet. I am under heavier returns now. I think there must be a higher dry layer that is getting saturated. I am 25 miles north of Augusta, GA.
