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.

Already light sleet on the border of central GA and northern midlands of SC.

I noticed most of us in this thread joined in 2010. Is that when Eastern Weather changed to American Weather?

It is starting to freeze rain on Sugar Mountain. The sleet and freezing rain the models have been showing were accurate.

They are making snow on Sugar mountain. Shows how dry the air is still. https://www.resortcams.com/webcams/sugar-ski/

I lived on Beech Mountain from 2010 to 2012. We received over 150 inches of snow the winter of 2010-2011. Good luck mountaineers, lol. Peace!

Nice pic. I always liked Jim's passion for the weather!

I think it because in his earlier videos he said that it would be heavy precip and that would affect ice accumulation. He said light to moderate precip would result in higher ice totals.

Yea, I agree. That is why they are called "clown maps". Peace

Damn, I was alive when it happened. I am surprised by that. Thanks for the heads up. I have been a member here for 11 years and even when it was Eastern Weather I was a member but I don't post much anyway. Peace!
