Winter Storm Threatens Atlanta and Rest of Southeast
Snow, sleet and freezing rain were forecast in Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina and other states in the South.https://www.wunderground.com/news/snow-south-winter-storm-helena
South
Light snow spread across parts of the southern Plains and Mid-South from the night of January 5 into January 6.A heavier swath of snow developed late on January 6, continuing into January 7 from the north Georgia mountains into western and northern North Carolina and southern Virginia.
Mainly sleet or freezing rain fell south of that from parts of Louisiana and Mississippi into central Alabama into Georgia and parts of the Carolinas.
Sleet/Ice:
Alabama: 1.0 inch sleet near Chelsea; 0.20 inch ice in Butler
Arkansas: 0.1 inch sleet near Lake Village
Georgia: Up to 0.3 inch ice in the Atlanta metro
Louisiana: 0.3 inch sleet near Columbia
Mississippi: 0.70 inch sleet near Flowood; 0.30 inch ice in Meridian; 0.25 inch sleet near Vicksburg
North Carolina: 2 inches sleet near Falls Lake; 1 inch sleet, 0.15 inch ice near Raleigh
South Carolina: 1.0 inch sleeet near Mauldin
Tennessee: 1.5 inches sleet near Knoxville
Snow:
Alabama: 2.0 inches near Mentone
Arkansas: 3.5 inches near Searcy; 2 inches in Ft. Smith
Georgia: 6.6 inches near Hiawassee
Mississippi: 3.0 inches in Byhalia; 0.8 inch in Jackson (mixed with sleet)
North Carolina: 12.0 inches in Mt. Airy and near Norlina; 1.1 inches in Charlotte; 0.5 inch in Raleigh
Oklahoma: 5.5 inches near Watonga; 1.7 inches in Oklahoma City
South Carolina: 7 inches in Patterson; 4.3 inches in Greenville/Spartanburg
Tennessee: 7.6 inches in Mountain City; 4 inches in Knoxville
Texas: 5.0 inches in Adrian; 2.2 inches in Amarillo
Virginia: 12.5 inches in Williamsburg; 7.1 inches in Richmond; 5.3 inches in Norfolk
Compounding the mess was a plunge of some of the coldest air of the season behind Helena into the affected areas of the Southeast. Lows the morning of January 8 dipped into the teens well into the Deep South, rendering salt relatively useless for treating areas of ice on roads.
