    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.

    Currently 28F with sleet.

    After that brief period of heavy snow, we switched back over to sleet. We were pretty much sleet for 90% of the storm. 3 inches of sleet and snow in backyard at the moment.

    CMC/RGEM were the only models that showed a pure sleetfest here. Still an incredible storm though. I am curious to see what KAYS reports for totals and if we beat the 1973 record. 

    Here is the accumulation map from 73.

    Remember that on the NW edge of that shield, ratios will be BETTER than 10:1

    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.

    Through the Catawba Valley this map doesn't even come close to matching the liquid equivalent that most models are showing. His freezing rain map only has .05"-.15" of freezing rain. This would only capture about .5-.75 inches of precip falling to match these totals. 

    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.

    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!

    It's been nearly 4 years since we've had accumulating snow, but it has snowed two or three times since we've last had accumulating snowfall in March of 2017. 

    I am hoping this is the year that Macon, Augusta, Columbia gets a Miller A scenario and gets a good snow. It has been about 10 years since the fall line got a good snow.

    Living in Columbia for 20+ years, I understand your frustration. I can’t tell you how many winters I couldn’t buy a single snowflake, while everyone else cashed in. Often multiple times during the season, lasting several years in a row. At least you’ve seen flakes in a horrible year across the eastern half of the country. That’s more than some can say. Just add it to your bucket list of things you wouldn’t want to repeat :lol: That’s what I do. This way I have “I survived” stories to tell the next generation  :lol:

    I understand 100%. I have moved back to where I grew up in the Augusta Ga area on Clarks Hill Lake and it is rough down here most of the time but in 1973 when I was 4 years old it snowed 16 inches here. I don't know if you were alive then or lived in Columbia then but talking with my Grand Father when he was alive and my Great Grandmother she remembered a heavy snow in the late 1880's and my Grand Father remembered a heavy snow when he was about 10 years old in the early 1910's both over 10 inches and then the 1973 snow. They lived to see both. I am 50 so I have seen one and I am gonna follow family tradition and live to see my second heavy snow, lol. These are rare but put down higher totals than most of the state! Here is a link to the NWS account of the 1973 storm.....     https://www.weather.gov/ilm/Feb1973Snow
