Jan 17-18 Sunday Funday Storm

[suzook]

Its definitely over for me. Didn't even get the white rain I was expecting. I see the clear skies just to my west. I figured my area really wasn't in position for snow, but glad central GA is getting some good snow. Hopefully some in the Carolinas can cash in when the cold arrives.

MILLEDGEVILLE* LGT SNOW 36 34 93 NW7G15 30.10R FOG WCI 30

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.

The warm air seems to stick around longer than expected on the surface.  The same way freezing temps stick around longer than expected. 

Congrats GA peeps!

RDU went up a degree in the past hour. We are definitely cooked. Congrats to the GA folks.

[Leesville Wx Hawk]

Yep,  looks like Eric was right after all.

[kvegas-wx]

Cold chasing moisture never works out.  (Except in southern GA I guess)  

Congrats ya'll!!

 It appears per radar that Augusta might be about to get hit hard with something!          Yeah, I am 20 miles north of Augusta and it is finally changing over to snow.

[EarlGrey]

Congratulations to the GA peeps. Just a cold rain here. 

[GaWx]

Radar is quite impressive in a band in GA centered from Albany/Tifton to Dublin to Augusta.

[gamecockinupstateSC]

Snow is falling in the Southern Upstate of SC. Greenwood and Abbeville social media reports rain has changed to snow. 

[kvegas-wx]

Looks like the NC peeps all the way west to Hickory will see some brief mood flakes on the back edge as we head into the noon hour.

[Isopycnic]

I saw a few flakes in chapel hill, nc. 

[suzook]

That rain/snow line moving east could be a quick inch or 2 for SC. Don't give up yet.

[GaWx]

 I read that it just changed to all snow at Dublin, GA. The radar looks good, too, regarding what’s falling/coming there.

 I just read 2” was measured 20 miles ESE of Macon at Jeffersonville near I-16!

Congrats to everyone getting snow today
