Can't believe I'm saying this but I'm ~5" now. I keep staying in the heavy band and it is piling up. I state the other day that if I could get 5" I would call it a win. So this is a win..

Same here I just measured 2 and a quarter on an elevated metal staircase. Never expected the flake size, duration and just heavy banding to setup over me. In fact I drove my wife's car to work instead of my truck because i never expected snow covered roads.

If you believe the HRRR, I still have 7-8 more inches to pile on.

Glad you guys are cashing in up there!  Looked so promising here but only snowed about an hour then went to sleet and freezing rain.  Going to be borderline here of a lot of ice or not much of anything when it’s all done.

We'll call it 2 inches of slush and 33 °F on Main street in Franklin. Almost not enough for a snowplow to bother scraping. 

Still, almost 5,000 are out of power in Macon County. When I went out on a Jeb Walk around midnight, the transformers popping in the distance was something to see. The snow must be deeper elsewhere in the county.

I took this just after midnight.

I'm happy you guys down east were able to get something. HRRR did great. 

Yeah it certainly outperformed the nam and rgem with temps for sure. Even the fv3 had us for higher totals of course it was way overdone as it was calling for 6 to 8 inches.

Now we see what that transition line does for you guys.....hope it holds off for a while.

If we can keep these rates until noon, we’ll be well into double digits  

 

Wind driven snow continues dumping at an impressive clip on the Guilford/Forsyth county line between Kernersville and Oak Ridge. 

yep. And previous runs of the HRRR suggests we  may be able to keep it snow through 18-19Z.

I posted part of RAH's discussion in the storm thread, but when we do transition its looking like an ice storm (> .25" of freezing rain). :(

@shaggy & @Downeastnc eyeballing Radar, ya'll look to have yet another Super heavy band incoming..

Peeking outside for a bit..  See a "super heavy" Semi-melted Flake falling every now & then..  I think I've bottomed out on Temps setting @ 36F with a Dew point of 33F

Winds have "switched" to the NE now at 15 mph..

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

Yeah its gonna take heavy rates to switch us back if it's even possible to go back to snow now. Certainly happy with my 2.5 inches of snow. Very impressive band we were in for a storm that really was borderline for us.
