10/17/2017 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M Predicted storm line yesterday afternoon was a fizzle but a welcome cool down did come with it - well we are in the season we call "still summer' here in south GA - so we know we are still in for some warm weather. Our seasons are "almost summer", summer, "still summer" and whatever is left. With the non-existent global warming ( some say) our summer has gotten longer and hotter. Enough politics - we will very much enjoy our cool down this week.

1/3/2018 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M We are under a winter storm watch/warning until Noon. So far very little precip has fallen at this station and there is some icing on exposed surfaces like our metal patio furniture but nothing that I could detect on the ground or roads in the vicinity. Light precip has been happening for about 3 hours.
1/4/2018 7:00 AM 0.90 0.6 M 0.1 M Our first measurable snowfall in nearly 30 years. Around 8:30 a.m. following a period of light sleet, a snow squall lasting about 45 minutes covered everything in white. The front blew out by 10 a.m. and by mid-afternoon the streets were clear. This morning there are only patches of snow/ice left. What a day! I would say that in our vicinity the snowfall ranged from a half inch to more than an inch. {EDIT: Observer reported 0.6 for new snow depth with a melted core value of 0.90. Melted core appears to be a typo. Changed report of 0.90 to NA until observer can be contacted to verify. Great Notes! How exciting to get snow in the south!
