Hotlanta update, 8:15am Sunday:
At 7:30am, I was lurched out of bed by my security alarm going off and Lincoln barking his head off when the power went off. My own stupidity, I should’ve never set it knowing it was likely a power failure coming. Power was off for maybe 10 seconds.
Walked the little beast. Nothing coming down when we stepped outside. There was a little bit of ice on the wooden handrail and steps. The ground never got cold, and the ground was just wet. The Missing Linc had a thin sheen of bumpy frozen ice on the hood and on the windshield. 31°.
When I got back upstairs, there was a little bit of ice on the rose of Sharon right outside the window.
I turned on channel 2 WSB/ABC in Atlanta, the best local weather. They cover only weather, county by county, when there’s a storm like this. Only weather, no news. As I was watching at 7:45, the precipitation was already clearing where I am, heading east northeast. I’m in Dunwoody, northern edge of Atlanta.
Cute little brunette is in Dacula, which would be about the 2 o’clock position on that black circle, right at the edge, so she’s still in the middle of it. If I wake her up to ask, a whole different kind of bad storm would come down on me!
Most of the time, Atlanta’s weather comes from the northwest, that’s how we got y’all’s icy mix. It’s moving out east northeast right now.
The other place we get weather is from the west southwest, or the southwest, coming over from Texas or the Gulf of America (gulf of Mexico) . That’s predicted to hit us around 2 PM. It will be pushing this icy, cold, wet air to the northeast, while it brings warm wet air up from the gulf.
A comment Summer problem is when we get cooler air from the northwest that comes over the smoky mountains so the air pressure drops just a little bit as it hits Atlanta’s hotter, humid weather, and we get violent thunderstorms, almost every day.
What’s going to happen later today is pretty rare in the winter time. That warm, moist air is going to the break over the smoky mountains, and run into the freezing air, and there are supposed to be very violent storms, possibly tornadoes.
In this screen capture, the pink/purple over Atlanta is still the freezing rain. The green and yellow section to the left of Atlanta is where the mix of the warm, moist air and freezing cold air will mix. The pink and purple to the left of that is actually pure rain because it will be about 50°. As that mixed green/yellow area moves east, we’re gonna get clobbered!
