:wall:

Yet using the point forecast, Cartersville, the county seat, in the middle of the county, has this:

Wednesday Night: A slight chance of rain and snow after 1am. Partly cloudy, with a low around 33. East wind around 5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%.

Thursday: Rain likely, mainly after 1pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high around 46. East wind between 10 and 15 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%.

Thursday Night: Rain likely, mixing with freezing rain after 1am. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 28. North wind around 5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%.

:think:

Still... the Wednesday Night deal presumes there will even be precip then, and the chance is only 20%. Note the rain on Thursday doesn't start til after 1pm. It makes no sense... though, the rain likely won't start til afternoon, which is why I say, nothing frozen, except perhaps as it ends(freezing rain), and I really think the moisture will be gone.

See now why I haven't thrown in the towel completely? I'm not crazy....just confused by our NWS and all the conflicting info from the models. :D

We're grasping at straws honestly... the precip isn't going to be here when that rain/snow mix has a 20% chance of happening(LOL).

I'm way south of Atlanta anyway... so I won't even see this borderline junk.

Wednesday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 39. East wind between 5 and 10 mph.

Thursday: Rain likely. Cloudy, with a high around 50. East wind between 5 and 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%.

Thursday Night: A 20 percent chance of rain before midnight. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 32. North wind between 5 and 10 mph.

What's frustrating to me is that I live within an hour's drive of that invisible fence we talked about. Right on the borderline....so just a bit north of me could get snow/sleet/etc, and I'll just get a cold, cold, yucky rain.

OR...

The mets predict just a cold cold yucky rain for us, and lo-and-behold favorable conditions move far enough south that the fence is below me.

AND....there's really no way to know for sure--in advance--whether or not that will happen.

Which just leaves me in a perpetual state of hopefulness....or despair.

I've seen it too many times... the worst is it being 33 and raining. :roll:

My temperatures has stopped at 30.4... so the clouds are here.

Well I can assure you it will not rain, sleet, or snow tomorrow. :P That explains why I do not get my weather from TWC anymore. :lol:

Edit: They do mean Thursday... as in tomorrow, someone just got the day of the week wrong:

Today:
Partly cloudy skies. High 51F. Winds NE at 5 to 10 mph.

I rarely consult TWC. BUT....since they *are* right here in town, I figure they might know what they're talking about for our weather occasionally, so I figured why not check. ;) :D :lol:

Not me. I have two kids I have to get up at 6 am and have ready for school by 7:15. Once they're dropped off at school, I'm up. No going back to sleep for me. :cry:

What are you still doing up? :eek: That is not healthy... :lol:

If I don't get at least 6 1/2 hours of sleep the day just does not go well at all.
