January 2026 obs

[marsman]

From 45 at 4:05am to 69 at 12:42pm. Lower high than I expected, I think the clouds helped keep the temp down a bit. 

[yotaman]

High of 75 after a low of 44.

[Coach McGuirk]

71 degrees here.  They call that an Indian winter.  I guess that is racist now, lol.

The rain forecast entirely busted so that drought continues here.

6.23 inch rain event total here in Dahlonega, GA.  6.18 of that came in a 24 hour period between fri 1:30pm and sat 1:30pm.  Surprised no other obs in here for this event.  Am in in the right section.

You got as much rain in 24 hours as we’ve had last 4 months combined

Checked my cocorahs back to 2010 when i started.  it is not as much as Helene was here, but that was over 3 or 4 days.  But pretty sure its the highest 24 hour period i've measured.

Tons of reports of flurries all the way into the triad!  Have to think with the wind these flurries are being blown for miles out of the foothills.

I'm not sure if we're getting sleet or snow. It's not clear ice like sleet and isn't bouncing off the driveway like sleet. It looks more like tiny round white snowballs, not snowflakes. What is that?

It's coming down pretty hard.

I looked up a pic of graupel. You're exactly right, that's what is falling here.

[yotaman]

High today was 68 before front came thru. Low is our current temp of 50. Dew point has cratered to 26. Rainfall a measly .09".

[Coach McGuirk]

34.7 and flurries. 

[Coach McGuirk]

Nothing on the radar, it just passed.  Low level clouds still.
