January 23-25th Winter Wx

FFC has dropped accumulation totals and percentages in the ATL metro. Looks like the wedge will stop right around the perimeter of I-285. NE GA and Upstate SC still looking at a crippling ice storm. Travel on I-85 from Charlotte to Atlanta will be difficult to impossible throughout the next couple days.

Made it from Meridianville to the E-911 Center off Oakwood. No sweat. Some of the roads were still warm showing puddles. Oakwood was pretty slick, but passable. I hear the parkway in Huntsville, is of course, rough at the overpasses. Hope the rain starts around 1.

How’s that “nothing but rain” prediction looking? Definitely not just rain in Monrovia.

I've been using the PWS system - includes metars. Cheezy interface, but ground truth.

Knock that noise off, you're messing with the Blountwolf Ice Shield. ;)

The only ice I want is in my sweet tea.

Seeing as you don’t contribute anything except in the political forum, I don’t expect you to know much about a prediction concerning weather. Come back when the inch of rain starts this afternoon.
 
I'm sitting at 27 here in Smithville according to my Tempest

yeah, uh a changeover to rain this afternoon and tonight has been forecasted.

again, though, what about your nothing but rain prediction? you whiffed. since you wanted to declare it a forecast bust 4 days in advance of the storm, what say you now that YOUR forecast Atmospheric Anti-Climax when the storm, ya know, actually arrived?

My temp refuses to budge out of the low 30s. 33 will do though - just barely. (but would wetbulb below freezing if precip arrives - needs to warm some more, dang it.)
 
I came across this very interesting and questionable statement from MEG discussion concerning freezing rain for my area before bed last night:
"On the other end of the state, near the
Alabama border, temperatures hovering around freezing will
discourage the accumulation of ice. In particular, Monroe County
may only see a light glaze of ice."

I don't know, but I was taught temperatures around freezing usually promotes more wintry accumulations

I reckon they probably meant to insinuate hovering around, but slightly above freezing? Still, Monroe is very much at risk for ice accumulations.

Total accumulation amounts have decreased between 0.1-0.2” in and around the metro area especially inside 285. The ice storm warning continues to mention “ice up to one inch” since the warning area includes areas like Blairsville and Dahlonega, which are expected to see accumulations of 0.75”+

Since when is a prediction on talkweather a sin that deserves trolling? I have disagreed with the local TV talking heads, who love nothing more than to add their flavor of the week to the forecast, but I’ve never berated a regular here for theirs, even if it was just completely Atmospheric Anti-Climax. Now, feel free to continue your and your friends diatribe, but I’m done responding.
