Snow, mixed with rain at times, developed over the piedmont and foothills of northeast Georgia around sunrise. Despite bursts of moderate to heavy snow, a warm ground and above freezing temperatures caused much of the snow to melt upon impact.

What happened
The episode as NWS GSP wrote it up.
Snow, mixed with rain at times, developed over the piedmont and foothills of northeast Georgia around sunrise. Despite bursts of moderate to heavy snow, a warm ground and above freezing temperatures caused much of the snow to melt upon impact. As a result, accumulations were light, ranging from trace amounts across southern piedmont areas, to an inch or so along the I-85 corridor.
What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
647 AM EST TUE MAR 2 2010
.SYNOPSIS...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE FROM THE NORTHEAST GULF COAST TODAY
TO THE OFFSHORE WATERS OF NORTH CAROLINA EARLY WEDNESDAY. AS THIS
LOW MOVES FARTHER AWAY FROM OUR REGION...HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE
OVER THE SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH TEMPERATURES GOING ABOVE
NORMAL BY SUNDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 330 AM...LATEST IR SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A MATURE COASTAL
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM ...WITH A SFC CENTER INVOF PANAMA CITY FL.
CLASSIC COMMA HEAD SIGNATURE DEVELOPING...EXTENDING BACK TO THE
OZARKS. A DRY SLOT CAN BE SEEN PUNCHING NWD FROM THE CENTRAL GULF TO
NRN MS/AL.
THE MAIN FEATURE TO WATCH WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL BE FOR A
DEFORMATION ZONE TO INTENSIFY AND PROPAGATE FROM W TO E ACRS THE
HEART OF THE FA...AS THE LOW TRACKS FROM THE NRN GULF...TO S OF
CHARLESTON SC BY 18Z. EVEN THE 00Z NAM NOW SHOWS A LTL STRONGER 700
MB FGEN BAND ACRS THE UPSTATE (WHICH OTHER MODELS HAVE BEEN
INDICATING FOR THE LAST COUPLE DAYS). IN FACT...RUC ANALYSIS AT 06Z
OF 700 MB FGEN LINES UP WELL WITH THE GFS/ECMWF/NAM ON PLACEMENT OF
THE BAND...AND RADAR MOSAIC ACRS AL/GA IS SHOWING A HIGH
REFLECTIVIIES IN THIS ZONE. SO CONFIDENCE IS HIGH THAT A BAND OF
PRECIP WILL TRACK ACRS THE UPSTATE LATE THIS MORNING...AND PIVOT
INVOF THE CHARLOTTE METRO AREA AS THE LOW CURVES TOWARD THE
NORTHEAST OFF THE SC COAST. THE PROBLEM IS THE WARM SFC LAYER WILL
HAVE TO BE OVERCOME BY STRONG DYNAMICAL COOLING (WHICH WILL BE IN A
NARROW SWATH WITHIN THIS MID LVL DEFORMATION ZONE). LLVL THICKNESSES
AND SFC WET BULBS IN THE MID 30S ARE SUPPORTIVE OF A CHANGEOVER TO
SNOW (ONCE PRECIP RATES ARE HIGH ENUF). IN FACT...BOTH THE 0Z NAM
AND GFS BUFKIT SNDGS STILL SHOW A "CROSS-HAIR" SIGNATURE IN WHICH
STRONG OMEGA IS WITHIN THE IDEAL DENDRITIC GROWTH REGION.
HOWEVER...OUTSIDE THIS BAND IN THE LOWER ELEVATIONS...MOSTLY RAIN OR
RA/SN MIX IS WHAT IS EXPECTED. AND IN THE MTNS...QPF JUST DOESNT
LOOK HIGH ENUF TO GET 3" OF SNOW IN 12 HOURS. SO THIS MAKES THE
ISSUANCE OF WINTER STORM PRODUCTS ALMOST LIKE NAILING JELLO TO A
WALL. THE LATEST HPC QPF LOOKS REASONABLE...AND USING A 10:1 RATIO
(HIGHER IN THE MTNS)...BARELY GET 3" OF SNOW ACCUM WITHIN THE
INHERITED WARNING AREA. ONE THING STILL GOING FOR A HEAVY SNOW BAND
IS THE 24 MAR 1983 ANALOG (WHICH THE 12Z/01 GFS HAD AN 11.8
CORRELATION NUMBER). THE TRENDS IN THE KGSP/KATL OBS THIS MORNING
WITH THOSE OF THE ANALOG EVENT AT THE SAME TIME OF DAY ARE EERILY
SIMILAR. THAT STORM PRODUCED A SWATH OF GENERALLY 5-10" OF SNOW FROM
EXTREME NE AL...TO THE ELIZABETH CITY NC (MAINLY ALONG I-85). IM NOT
SAYING THIS EVENT WILL PAN OUT LIKE THAT...BUT THE ANALOG CERTAINLY
INFLUENCED OUR DECISION. WITH THAT SAID...THE CONFIDENCE OF A HEAVY
SNOW BAND IS HIGH ENUF THAT I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DOWNGRADING
ANY OF THE WARNING TO ADV. THE CURRENT WATCH WILL BE REPLACED WITH
A WINTER WX ADV FOR THE SAME VALID TIMES. THIS IS A LOW-CONFIDENCE
FCST...BUT KEEP IN MIND THAT EVEN 3" OF SLUSHY ACCUM IS LIKELY TO BE
MOSTLY ON GRASSY SURFACES...AND MOST ROADS WILL PROBABLY REMAIN WET.
HOWEVER...WITHIN THE HEAVIEST PORTION OF THE SNOW BAND...ACCUM ON
ROADWAYS IS LIKELY. IT IS JUST NOT POSSIBLE TO PINPOINT WHERE
EXACTLY THIS BAND WILL SET UP ATTM.
LATER TODAY...SOME PORTION OF THE CHARLOTTE METRO AREA MAY BE WITHIN
THIS HEAVY SNOW BAND...BUT CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW TO GO WITH A
WARNING. WILL GO WITH AN ADVISORY THERE AND MENTION POTENTIAL FOR
LOCALLY HEAVIER SNOW. TO THE NORTH ALONG THE I-40 CORRIDOR (EAST OF
THE BLUE RIDGE ESCARPMENT)...DO EXPECT COLDER LLVL THICKNESSES TO
SUPPORT A CHANGEOVER TO SNOW...RESULTING IN A POSSIBLE 1-2"...SO
WILL ADD TO THE WINTER WX ADV. OVERALL...HAD TO MASSAGE HOURLY TEMP
CURVE TO SUPPORT THE DYNAMICALLY COOLED BL WITHIN THE PRECIP SHIELD.
TEMPS SHUD REMAIN GENERALLY IN THE 30S.
TONIGHT...LOW PRES WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK NEWD AND INTENSIFY...AS
MID/UPR LOW EXIT THE FA TO THE EAST. SO DEEP MOISTURE AND MID LVL
FORCING WILL SHIFT EAST AS WELL...AND PRECIP WILL END BY AROUND
MIDNIGHT IN THE EAST. IN THE LLVLS...NW FLOW WILL INCR AND THERE
WILL BE MOISTURE TO SUPPORT SNOW SHWR ACTIVITY ALONG THE NC/TN
BORDER. WILL KEEP JUST A CHC POP FOR NOW. TEMPS WILL FALL INTO THE
20S MTNS AND LWR 30S PIEDMONT. BLACK ICE MAY BE AN ISSUE BY DAYBREAK
WEDNESDAY.
&&
.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 305 AM TUESDAY...SNOW SHOWERS SHOULD CONTINUE ALONG THE TN
LINE DURING THE DAY ON WED. A FEW AREAS COULD SEE UP TO AN INCH OF
NEW SNOW AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS RIGHT ALONG THE TN LINE...BUT THE
FORCING DOESN/T LOOK VERY STRONG. WED NIGHT ANOTHER SHORT WAVE WILL
CROSS THE REGION FROM THE NORTH. H8 TEMPS FALL TO -10 DEG C AND THE
FLOW INCREASES...WHICH SHOULD GIVE A LITTLE BOOST TO THE SNOW SHOWER
ACTIVITY. I HAVE THE ACTIVITY DIMINISHING ON THURSDAY. HOWEVER...THE
NAM AND GFS BOTH BRING ANOTHER WAVE ACROSS THE REGION THU
NIGHT...WHICH COULD BRING YET ANOTHER ROUND OF SNOW SHOWERS TO THE
TN LINE. I DON/T HAVE ANYTHING IN THE GRIDS FOR THIS LAST
BATCH...BUT THAT MAY CHANGE WITH LATER PACKAGES. TEMPS WILL RUN 10
TO 15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL ON WED...WITH A SLOW MODERATING TREND THU
AND FRI. HOWEVER...THU MAY PROVE TO BE COOLER THAN WHAT I
HAVE...PARTICULARLY OVER THE NC ZONES.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 125 AM TUESDAY...STARTING 00Z SATURDAY...AS THE UPPER TROUGH
PULLS OFF TO THE EAST FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY...THE UPPER RIDGE
WILL BE BUILDING IN FROM THE WEST. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE
SLOWLY SINKING SOUTHEAST FROM THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND BE
CENTERED OVER OUR REGION FOR MUCH OF THE WEEKEND. THE GFS...ECMWF
AND GEM ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE BUILDING RIDGE THROUGH THE
WEEKEND AND MODERATING TEMPERATURES WHICH WILL BE ABOVE NORMAL
SUNDAY. THE GFS BUILDS THE UPPER RIDGE WITH AXIS NORTH FROM FLORIDA
TO PA MONDAY WHILE CREATES ZONAL FLOW DEEP SOUTHEAST ON MONDAY WITH
BIG SHORTWAVE APPROACHING FROM THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI. FEEL
CONFIDENT TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR THE SAME READINGS AS SUNDAY.
BOTH THESE LONGER RANGE MODELS HAVE PRECIP APPROACHING OUR WESTERN
ZONES MONDAY NIGHT. THEREFORE...IT IS BEST TO PUT SLIGHT CHANCE
POPS THERE AS THE NEIGHBORS HAVE DONE AS WELL. THERE MAY BE A
COOLING TREND INTO MID WEEK WITH FALLING HEIGHTS BUT NOT HIGH
CONFIDENCE ON THAT AT THIS POINT.
&&
.AVIATION /12Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AT KCLT AND ELSEWHERE...A BIT DIFFICULT TO GET TIMING OF VSBY/CIG
RESTRICTIONS...AS EVEN LGT SNOW WILL CAUSE IFR CONDITIONS WITHIN
MINUTES OF ONSET. WITH RAIN...EXPECT A MORE GRADUAL DECREASE IN
FLIGHT CATEGORIES. HAVE TIMED THE DETERIORATING CONDITIONS SOONER
BASED ON TRENDS IN RADAR AND OBS ACRS NRN GA AND EXTREME WRN
CAROLINAS. NELY WINDS MAY BE GUSTY AT TIMES...MAINLY THIS
MORNING...AS SFC LOW DEEPENS INVOF NRN FL. SNOW WILL TAPER OFF FROM
WEST TO EAST THIS AFTN AND INTO THIS EVE...AND SHUD END BY 03-06Z
TIME FRAME AT ALL SITES. CLOUDS WILL GRADUALLY LIFT/SCATTER OUT...AS
DOWNSLOPE NWLY LLVL FLOW STRENGTHENS BEHIND THE SYSTEM (AS IT TRACKS
INTO THE MID ATLANTIC OFFSHORE WATERS).
OUTLOOK...WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY WILL BE FAIR...EXCEPT AT KAVL WHERE
MOIST NORTHWEST FLOW WILL BRING PERIODIC MVFR CIGS. THE WEEKEND
LOOKS TO BE FAIR WITH NO CIG OR VSBY RESTRICTIONS AS A LARGE SCALE
RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE REGION.
