It's been crazy how it's just sat in place. The bands, as you guys are now getting to see, are darn fun. That's the best and worst part about ULLs. At times their banding may give an area 6 inches, and 20 miles away that area may only get an inch.

I mean relative to the last week or so lol..at least we should be out of the teens for a few days, it’s something man!

1.8 above. Not gonna get anywhere near -10 at this rate.

Hey Mesowest users. New moving to spot https://viewer.synopticdata.com/map/data/now/air-temperature#map=7.92/41.53/-71.74

Don't be selfish. Slide some of that southeast toward the I-40 bridge across Douglas Lake.

Looking at the mosaic radar it seems like it might be slightly rotating counter-clockwise or wobbling right over east TN, sweeping in the southern areas along the way. Doesn't appear to be going anywhere any time soon, which matches the general look of the HRRR. 19.8 degrees currently here. Hope we can keep the chunky flakes with temps in the teens!

That's ripping. I can never get good photos of snow falling!

Visibility has gotta be 2-300 yards at best. This is melting my brain right now.

Best I could do on a picture lol.

Heaviest I've had yet, mostly big flakes at the moment. I'm really surprised because I thought I might miss the edge of the snow almost completely. If it does this all night I'm going to bust big. I'm already passed forecast amount. Approaching warning criteria.

I have a spot where I measure and a spot that I clean off every three hours to measure. That will give you a good idea of your rates. And in cases where the snow is wetter than this, it will give you a better measurement of how much snow actually fell since you won't have as much compaction.

East Knox/west Jefferson/north Sevier really intensified, gotta be wild over there!

I'm reading 60+ dbz on my radar for parts of that cell. I'm a weather watching amateur, but that is impressive.

I'm down to about 1/4th inch per hour now, hopefully it can keep up here until 9am at least. That would get me another inch and a half.

I have no idea how to quantify snowfall rates but from watching for the past 20 minutes, this has gotta be well over an inch per hour.

According to my RadarScope, you've been under a dark blue umbrella for a long time! It has been impressive.

6z HRRR , FWIW

I think I'm about to have goose feathers. This is wild. Visibility is probably less than 1/10 mile, just absolutely puking it all out!

The weak Low moving near the S.C. you refer to has since stretched out and is now in the process of reforming notably farther offshore, probably where it was supposed to form. Notice the tropical feed here at 2:30am. https://www.ventusky.com/wind-speed-map/10m-above-ground#p=31.8;-76.5;5&w=0xIAb9A9A

Thaw?

Yeah I've been getting quarters mixed with smaller flakes. Then an occasional wind gust blows clouds of blowing snow off my roof and it swirls around. I'm at about 2 inches now which was the high end of my MRX forecast.

I think the 10+ projections from models that way will probably verify. The ratios are incredible so it will really stack up. I can't account for micro climates there because I don't know them like the folks who live there. But I did see that this was overperforming around Bristol at least. And Tri had 5 inches 2 hours ago.

Little over 2” still moderate snow.

John based on what has fallen and what could still yet to fall taking into count hi res models duration left, what do you think areas around Greeneville through Johnson City end up with?

That's when I started really accumulating fairly quickly. It got up to about 3/4ths inch to 1 inch per hour for a few hours.
