moderate rain with big drops, lightning and 34 here right now. so close and yet so far sigh
-
well if it were 10 degrees colder it would be snowing lol. not surprised to see rain this morning - as eyewall and cheez said (and many of us who grew up here know) cold chasing rain is almost always a no-go
-
There are quite a few of us here! It’s just not looking great for a lot of us. Precip either moves out or dries up east of atl - Gainesville -Cleveland. Looked better a couple of days ago
-
37/9 with clouds. woo hoo waiting for .10" ice - that is what this January has ended up being. sad lol
-
17 for a low this morning. Coldest of the winter so far
-
Well we sort of dodged a bullet - 1” of rain from the storm. It was 31.5 so only about .20-.25” on the trees. The are bending noticeably but it just went above freezing. An inch of ice would have been a bit much lol
-
Far ne ga it’s 31 with freezing rain. Light glaze on the trees, elevated surfaces
-
It’s 31 with freezing rain here. About .10 inch on trees, deck etc. driveway just wet
-
Yes sitting at 31.8 lol
-
Light rain and sloooooowly dropping temp lol. It’s 34
-
Mix of rain/sleet at 36. Not looking great for here for much here at the moment
-
Dry here but cloudy. 35/20
-
That is a lot of ice. There is a huge disconnect right now with tomorrow. Gap mentioned the high wasn’t too strong but the last time I checked it looked pretty decent. It’s not all that cold (upper 40s) but the dew point is 21
-
I dont really know what to think at this point. This set up reminds me of one a while back where we ended up getting a ton of ice (the infamous "I hope you get an inch of ice" storm) when the forecast was a cold rain right up till the event started. After that over the years, a lot of times the set up seems to be there but for one reason or another we end up 33 or 34 and rain. The higher resolution models are showing a pretty big CAD, and the high seems to be in a pretty good location. It won't take much for NE GA an the upstate to get some ice, however, without much support from the other models I am just not sold on it at this point
-
Back to mostly sleet here with in the last few minutes and just a little frz rn mixed in
-
It is actually, esp with the ground covered in sleet/snow. I am one of the apparent few who likes all types of winter storms including freezing rain. Grew up in ga and ice after snow is not uncommon at all - I think it’s been a great storm for this area so far. Am amazed the models picked it up so early. From what I saw most of the week it is what I expected. With a CAD event I didn’t fall for the amounts of snow the models showed during the week lol. CAD screams ice for ne ga anyway
-
Feeezing rain is still falling and about .25” on the trees. The snow and sleet has completely glazed over in the yards and street. Looks like there are quite a few outages around Habersham and Rabun Counties on the ga power website. So I would say that NE GA is having a pretty significant ice storm right now
-
Just woke up to popping - power is out and trees/limbs are falling. Still have freezing rain falling with gust winds. Looks like the entire neighborhood is out
-
Huge green flash as a transformer just blew - whole sky lit up as a big gust of wind went through.
-
Yeah it did. It’s all frz rain here now - maybe .10 or so. Didn’t go out to actually measure.
-
The bright reds in ne ga right now are freezing rain with a little sleet. Guess it’s a good thing it’s not in the mid 20s lol
-
This obs thread is awesome! It’s great so many of us are getting clobbered and those lucky ones to witness thundersnow (I can count on one hand how many I have seen lol). The heavier bands here are snow/sleet. The moderate ones are freezing rain - getting a glaze and icicles on the trees now. What a great storm lol
-
Your power is out? Ugh. So far so good here - I hope that stays up there lol. I am surprised the power hasn’t even blinked here which is unusual ( I live near a national forest with a ton of trees)
-
Those in the upstate just wait til this stuff in n ga gets there. It’s absolutely pouring what looks like clumps of ice lol. Getting a trifecta mix and it’s really coming down. If this is snow where y’all are it will be amazing everything is covered now - yards and roads
-
A lot have more to the obs thread since it’s nowcasting and happening now
