Winter Storm Update
01/06/2011 07:39
Here is a brief update on the possible winter storm for Sunday/Monday... The models have trended a little warmer and have pushed the bulk of the snow further north. They also continue to show a very “close call” for a fairly significant ice issue for north GA. This could continue to be an unknown all the way up until the event itself unless there is a dramatic change in the current trends.
Look for the NWS and local media to continue with a mention of snow/rain for now. Some may mention ice/sleet... but absolutely no one is certain at this time.
Personally, I’d say prepare a little early just in case. However, I don’t think there is a need to go overboard just yet... unless of course you are an Auburn fan. Football is serious business in the south as everyone knows, and I’d imagine there have been more than a few generators sold in the last 24 hours to fans unnerved by even the slightest possibility of not having power Monday night. Plan accordingly and check in with weather sources often as we go into the weekend.
