ATL in the crosshairs. Wait 'til the socials get a peek at this....

An ode to our Raleigh clan. It was hard for any of us to watch that transpire. The snow was predicted, a lot-us. Their hopes up, then came the, dry-slotus They threw in the towel With complaint and a grow'l Well, at least this time, it wasn't too hot-us.

This little stretch of three weeks has been the most fun in quite a while here. Three weekends, three storms, with yesterday's being the exclamation point. Ya'll remember how warm it was on Christmas ? (81deg here in Macon) Little did we know.....

At the risk of the Raleigh crew hunting me down and beating me with a dry snow-board,....

Oh, my dang ! Yeah, likely won't amount to much, but my friends in that area are ecstatic. Model, schmodel. Never know until somethin' is happenin'.

Nice band on radar back in Alabama between Birmingham and Montgomery. I don't recall seeing it modeled. I was suspicious that it might be virga but I do see MPING snow reports from it. Just hoping that feature holds together as the ULL moves east and I see a few flurries here in Macon.

Hot Dang ! We got Dick Tracy and Beethoven in the room. Ya'll know somethin's goin' down !

.....and, don't forget, now that this has passed, the skies will have time to heal.......

...I know that you got to have the GFS or nothin' at all, but that Low is movin' too fast... On topic, I'd take that 1.0" of Freezing Rain that the Euro shows and rationazlize it a win that Macon got frozen precip two Sundays in a row !

Here, at 11:19a.m., it's 35deg and I'd say it's definitely not "gone." Some notable melt in the "wet" areas of the yard, though, as there was a steady light drizzle almost all of last night here. But, it won't stay around much longer, I think, as the satellite imagery shows the clearing skies almost to me now.

Crazy Cartoon Horse sighting !! Sure was pretty, wasn't it. It's stopped now in Macon and my temp is up to 34deg now. Had a good Jeb-walk while it was still pouring. I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned but it's only two days away from the anniversary of last years southern snow event.

32deg and still coming down pretty good here in Macon. I haven't measured but I'd say 1" on elevated surfaces. Roads about to give in. IMG_7453[1].MOV

We're in a pretty good band now, Larry. Front yard went from wet to white in about 10 minutes. I'd call it a heavy snow. Which gives me, a light heart

34deg and Light to moderate Snow in West Macon. Very wet flakes but gorgeous!

FFC updating to WSW.

Euro good for part of the panhandle, SE Georgia, and the Lowcountry. Surface temps are iffy. Tries to throw RAH a bone.

Several of my southeast Georgia friends are still excited, as am I. Here in Macon we're rarely on the northern fringe of the snowline (Feb '73, anyone) but a few ticks north with the precip shield and just a slightly stronger push south with the colder temps and my early Sunday morning dog-walk could provide us with a memorable jaunt around the neighborhood.

80deg here yesterday. (which was, wonderful, by the way:) Shock for the soul incoming.....

Morning low of 37 at MCN. Highs around 80 for today ! "Please, sir.....more"

64 for the low here in Lizella. Got a drenching 0.15" from the little front that has now finished passing through. Was nice to see the clouds spittle a little down our domain, though. It's been a while and I could see the squirrels looking at each other in my acorn-dappled yard, their eyes blinking in the tiny drops, and go,"What's that stuff?"
