[UncleJuJu98]

Heavy band directly to my west is about to move over me, moderate snowfall at my house currently. No changeover. May get another inch or two. 30 degrees currently.

*Freezing rain is starting to mix in now. Oof.

 

[Richardjacks]

Temp is already recovering a little here..probably due to latent heat release due to freezing rain.

 

[Smokedevil]

[JasonL]

From the 30132! It’s been a while since I’ve seen snow IMBY.

 

[Mr. Plow]

What is cold air damming?

High pressure in the NE US pushing cold air down the eastern side of the Appalachian Mountains. It can cause colder conditions as far south and west as north AL especially NE AL. AKA "the wedge."

 

[UncleJuJu98]

I guess this is the changeover line?

 

[Chris3024]

Its at least 2” here with an icy slush underneath

 

[Jenifer Jerri]

I’m happy with my magical snow

[MattW]

3/4-1" of accumulation just south of Decatur, GA.

 

[Blountwolf]

 

[Clancy]

3 inches.

 

[Bamawx1208]

Moulton is quite beautiful for now

 

[UncleJuJu98]

The over performing snow totals and snow coverage in Georgia will make the wedge a bit stronger here.

 

[Blountwolf]

Freezing (and not so freezing) rain starting to turn the driveway and road to slush, and compact the snow elsewhere.
