So are all the models on board with this now and if so...why dont the local mets talk more about it ?
I sure could use about 4 inches of snow down here along the Kinchafoonee Creek for the next few days.

Shouldn't be an issue, other than a mix potentially falling. Current ground temps here at the Casa de Miggy are at an even 53.0°f. Road temps are even higher.
If you want near guaranteed fun, head to Scaly Friday for some tubing on fresh snow on Saturday. Roads might be a little iffy if you try to drive it Saturday, with wetness and freezing temps overnight on Friday, could be a slick patch or two.

Waiting on development. You don't make a forecast off of just one set of model runs. It will bite you in the hiney everytime.
They are watching the amplitude of the cold air aloft coming out of the Great Lakes as well. It is the ingredient that will make or break this event. Based on history and archives, this one has a high potential for a bust.

In my uneducated opinion. . . .it's Georgia, in early December. Until you have a white coating in your yard the odds are forever going to be greater for a cold rain than any frozen precip.
Most of us have 40+ years of disappointment backing up this principle.
But I enjoy all the hoping and wishing going on here.

Not a very fun drive when the roads are dry! I keep having flashbacks of Snowmageddon when I left for Acworth from Loganville and finally just went to sleep in the truck 9 hours later. I know this is completely different though.

I remember my freshman year of high school (2000) it snowed the day before Christmas break and the day of finals and they closed schools. I got two whole weeks to study for algebra and still failed it and the class when we came back from break.

Yep, if this was January it'd be a different story.
I'm right there with you on the Algebra. Whatever idiot dreamed up mixing the alphabet with numbers oughta be tied between two horses and pulled apart, slowly.

Maue just posted a new map on Twitter. Looks like NWGA gets in on the slop afterall.

And in the next run the crunchy stuff will move further to the NW making it just a cold, rainy day in GA.

I've already got it labelled as that.

Right on the razors edge up here south of Chattanooga. Need just a bit more creep.
I know the guy that has to make the call for our local schools. May have to call and give him a hard time.
