BMX has increased the forecast snow accumulations to between 2 and 5 inches in the winter storm warning counties.

10.5 inch snow total reported about 16 miles northwest of LaFayette, LA with more snow to fall. There’s also been several reports of 7-8 inches.

I noticed in Phenix City AL it was 1 inch this morning and now it says 4 inches. What changed??

I haven't measured but I think I have 5-6" in my yard and lots of folks around me are reporting measurements in the 5-7" range. I am in a gap now but expecting at least a tiny bit more.

The wind gusts along the coastal counties across AL and the FL Panhandle may still be supportive of Blizzard conditions (if they can last for 3+ hours) later this evening. Have to keep a watch on that.

I’m in Phenix City. Dry so far.

Heavy snow in Troy. It's accumulating on elevated surfaces and grass.

Snow flurries in north east Phenix City

Alexandria, LA ended up with around 2" of snow which was about the expected amount. I had been concerned that we were going to get less than that.

Here's a pic I took.

I love this for New Orleans. Amazing to see.

Flare up of moisture

 

[Ars4ua]

Why do I hope we have a blow up of moisture all over AL? lol

National Weather Service just sent this new graphic out...an inch possible in my area. I haven't seen a single snowflake...been watching and waiting all morning. Guess it's taking awhile for the dry air to get saturated?

it'll be later this afternoon/evening before the snow shields fills in fully, so be a little patient. Plus "possible" doesn't mean guaranteed.

Indeed. Considering what reflectivity looks like, if saturation occurs, we could see some little bursts of snow for sure over parts of central AL/GA.

Forcing from the 700mb front Richard Jacks mentioned. Really wish it was going to reach the ground, but I very much doubt it.

EDIT: Ha - misread that. You HOPE for a blow up, not reacting to the one on the satellite.

I would be happy with flurries at this point

It's slowly reaching toward the ground around Atlanta. I've been watching the FFC radar. There's a hole around the radar where the precip evaporates before reaching the ground, but that hole is gradually shrinking.
