Bummer.....In my area we 'Did NOT' get any Snow. We Didn't even get any Flurries. All we got was a little Sleet and Not very much of that, So I have No pictures of snow for my area. I look forward to seeing what the rest of the Winter season holds for my area as we usually have our Snow in Late February through Mid March.

Final UPDATE: Snowfall Amounts- January 19, 2008

On January 19, 2008 A low pressure system over the northwest Gulf of Mexico spread abundant moisture over a cold airmass to produce widespread snow across northern Georgia. The precipitation began in the form of rain in the hours around daybreak...but quickly changed to mostly snow between midmorning and the noon hour. Since the ground was relatively warm...and temperatures during the event were generally slightly above freezing...some of the snow that fell melted. This resulted in snowfall accumulations that were fairly light.

Reports from individual counties...
