Holston and others. Check out the KOHX Reflect and share your thoughts? Watch the Sumerset area. .

I've mostly accepted the transition time. It's the thump QPF I was worried about. Feel a little better about this after your reply.

Oh just for full disclosure since I'm all about owning up to bad forecasts, my forecast earlier this week sucked (overnight snow the day before the evening squalls and snow bands that did work out). That was a different setup, but the dry air winning out there made me a little gunshy to feel confident the light snow would start earlier. I did have a hunch something like this might play out, but in the 00z and 06z TAFs last night, didn't have flurries until 4pm at DPA and 5pm at ORD, MDW, GYY. Still leaned earlier than explicit guidance though based on how the soundings looked. Someone should also tell many previous runs of the GFS that it is indeed snowing across much of northern IL today. Sent from my SM-S936U using Tapatalk

Interesting but I would think the ocean plays a major role in that? anyone?

Winters for the last 20 years in Central PA have by and large been horrendous. I’m glad that most of that region should do well tomorrow but the long term average for State College, Altoona, Williamsport etc is over 40” snow per winter. They’ve been able to manage that in their few high end winters in the last 20 years but by and large way below that. Way too many SWFE’s that turn into sleetfests, cutters or Miller Bs that develop too late, much fewer Miller A coastal huggers like 3/1993 or storms that would redevelop offshore in time-now these are good I-90 snowmakers not I-80. It started right when I went to school there and never really improved. So I’d say there’s definitely some long term shift that’s screwed them over and not some short term correction that will easily reverse.

LOL!!! Well hell, that's about all that was left for TP at most supermarkets the past couple of days!!! Duct tape your s**t!!!

Temp down to 10.9F

16 degrees in Harrisonburg

In Richmond, at convention center finishing off a dance competition for my daughter. A few faint snowflakes have begun to fall. It’s 21. Hope to be back in Stafford before 8/9 PM tonight.

Many on here know better than NWS. Trust them, they've seen it before

Yea but he has been really steady. Have to give him props.

Impossible! Shut your mouth!!

Fyi, a nws met just said that observations down south are snow where sleet/ freezing rain was forecast. Still he says it's unknown if that will translate to good news up here for us.

If it tells you anything I am already looking to next weekends system... if it holds. lol We are barely past 4" since my morning report.

Still at 29 here just northwest of downtown Knox.

Not to be too critical of the thread but the severe cold part should make the dates read 1/24 to 1/26.

HRRR sees the break out near Clarksville and points west, but seems to want to fill precip. back in quickly as the evening wears on. I'm not sure it will fill back in as quickly as the HRRR thinks, but I'm 100% sure there is more coming when the second slug of moisture back in TX starts to swing though around daybreak tomorrow.

Got a sixer of storm king on hand for later.

Very heavy snow falling now. Flake size has increased. Not sure if that's the turn signal or not.

19F/-7 dew point

Good to see…

Light sleet in NW High Point

Reflectivity shows cold air still being ushered in outta Kentucky. Not going to change much but worth noting. .

I can see light snow on the mountains around Wintergreen. Nothing in valley yet. Temperature has been steady at 19 / -4 all afternoon.
