One thing that hasn’t been talked about much is how much snowpack will be across the country and how a large an area will be well below freezing for an extended time, well into next week, which will have residual impacts in later extended forecasts

The NAM Shows zero freezing rain or snow accumulation for Memphis.
Yet when you look at the reflectivity loop Memphis takes a direct hit by nonstop sleet, and shows a precipitation accumulation of 2.3 inches
The temp drops well below freezing tomorrow at 5pm and never goes above, and they could be pounded by sleet for 36 straight hours. In conclusion, this run on the NAM is forecasting somewhere between 5-10 inches of sleet for Memphis. I can't find a specific sleet record for the city, but I'm sure this would break it. Kind of a fascinating situation regardless.

The new GFS was too warm for most of Carroll County, GA.

Im hoping we can get enough backside moisture for a dusting or inch of snow here in central Alabama.

Ice storm warning for the NE GA counties. FFC mentions in their 2am discussion that an expansion is “probable” — I would guess Blairsville and Athens would be in that expansion zone.
I think it will go more towards the SW. Blairsville is not really a CAD-favored area.

UGA in Athens encouraging students to leave campus Friday.

I would settle for some flurries at this point...there is definitely a snow shield around the west central Alabama area (Selma, Demopolis, Livingston). We missed out on both major snow events last year.
Woke up to a crisp 7 degrees with a wind chill of -10. Trying to enjoy it because this is the warmest it will be the rest of the weekend. Snow should begin falling about Noon.

today is the last day above freezing for us on the ten-day forecast and it's not going even to get out of the 20s until next weekend, so yeah, this snow is gonna be here for a while unfortunately

It's warmer here this morning than it was yesterday; I'm a little confused but I'm sure it'll still get here eventually.

Nice and easy 31° here in Murfreesboro. High of 41 today, then we don’t see above freezing for the foreseeable future.

The RAP and HRRR are a bit more on the positive side if we are hoping for a little bit of backside wintry precip in central Alabama. Really hoping for some wrap around moisture and wintry precip for us in central alabama

I know I'm not the only one who is amazed at the DOME of rain over Alabama for all of this. Trying to be grateful it's just another rainy weekend...but I sure did want to be off work another Monday. Can't help but feel left out. Guess my 5 year old is still alive and well. Have a great day everyone and stay dry!

Anybody else think that the ice storm warning in NE GA will be extended to include parts of the metro?

FFC mentioned in their 2am discussion expansion of the warning was "probable" but they didn't specify in what direction. My guess would be at least south to Athens and potentially west to the metro depending on what this morning's models show.
