Its cold. Just got back in from feeding all the animals (Horses, Chickens and such). 23 currently with small gusts of wind. should be at an 1" if not more. But its raking with below 1/2 mile vis

Per OBS thread, KCHA lower elevations has another couple hours as the last lobe on radar comes through. Shows as multi-layer clouds on Satellite (below) just coming in, and following the overnight round now east. Signal Mountain and points north especially the Upper Plateau should have good snow showers all day, some moderate north, in the moist low-level flow beneath cold core aloft. Several hours of steady snow will continue farther east in the Winter Storm Warning areas. Then any upslope areas will have snow showers well into tonight with the upslope half of the event. Mountains will still go hard overnight and probably still have snow showers going Sunday morning. Cold upper-level low is just swinging into northwest Tennessee at this 12:30 UTC shot below. That'll keep things going

Also, the pattern on the GFS for the next two weeks looks great. Doesn't look like this will be our only one!

Agreed. The atmosphere needs some time to reorganize I guess.

Down to 11.

Henegar in Dekalb County, AL

26.7F With streets starting to turn white. Steady light snow.

Attached is our front yard and measurement. Almost 5 in and still snowing

This storm is cranking. Snow almost to Southern Alabama. That was on none of the models if I remember correctly.

New climate classification just dropped:

Props to Brad P may be in order for calling out the dry slot-even though not a very popular call.

First morning shots. There was no hyping here in the Mountains that's for sure.

Models clearly showing some containment breaking later this evening as the flow snow kicks on

I think severe have a shot at a foot of snow.

I thought we had a chance to get to lower single digits. 10 again.

Wake up @calculus1, we’re getting smoked

We will see guys. I still think a moderate 2-6 event in VB especially southern vb. The NE wind direction currently keeps me fairly hopeful atm. If nothing else this has been fun to track. Thundersnow possible in our region later?? Even if its to our south is awesome. .

Is there a bigger list available? I want to show my dad one that includes 1960-1961. .

You must be talking about Beau Dodson. I think he still lurks here from time to time. I vaguely remember seeing him post something a couple of years ago. https://beaudodsonweather.com/

I shudder to think what'll happen once the pendulum swings, hopefully it's not in the summer.

To go along with jeff's post about the clouds, I thought I'd drop a infrared satellite pic (gif and static) Zoomed out SE GOES : Mesoscale GOES:

2 to 4 is possible only bc of high ratios. They may save us. .

I hate it here

Busted way high. 7 was my low.

About 12 more hours of this fellas!
