It's happening! As we approach the magic hour the radar is filling in. It is snowing pretty hard on me under that band. Not huge flakes but rippin good at 21.7 degrees. These kinds of rates will add up if we can keep em coming.

i’m ready to rock ‘n’ roll, I’ll sleep Sunday.

You get first dibs on the thread for your birthday storm

I'm going to be up for a while for this one. Coming down like crazy right now. I'm going to measure at 3am. I suspect we'll be pushing 6'' by then

Bring on 2/18 that’s my bday storm. Can we get 2 more between weds and then? .

GFS with back to back storms out of the gulf at the end of the run, the first one looking like a repeat of this weekend. Would be nice if one of them turned the corner and made it all the way up.

You may be a little too far from the radar for it to see that band well. I hope some of our Knox crew us up, looks like heavy snow sagging across them.

Yes, he admitted that and that he's not sure why the models are all over the place. His theory is the cuts in funding for weather balloons

It is coming down, I've definitely crossed into heavy snow, I live on a state highway and it's now fully snow covered for the first time since it started, though its also 22 degrees which definitely helps.

Get on one of those plastic circular 'sleds' like I did once. Go down a sleet covered hill. You will go fast as heck!!!!! Good luck trying to stop. I was wearing gloves. They got shredded. Glaciated sleet pack is superfast stuff. Ride it at your own risk.

14 in downtown Bmore.

12.4F here, 13F at DCA. Could hit single digits overnight.

GSP just increased totals substantially:

Or the new Palisades Tahoe. Hey, they got mountains.

1.3….lets goooo

man, I'm leaning towards you being right. But we've been screwed so many times it's hard not to feel pessimistic when the idea is being floated out there. At this point, i'll take 3 inches and i'm good.

Sorry if it’s annoying to resurrect this thread but saw this and thought my fellow weather nerds would enjoy:

Down to 3. Could make a run at 0

That band appears to disappear as to extends to the south, but I can assume that it goes further south than the radar shows, as the snow has picked up a pretty good tick. Visibility is much lower the snow is very fine but coming down at a good clip, wind whipping it around at times makes it look even more impressive. This feels like this storm is going to really over produce. I reached about an inch total from just the frontal passage snow, and now it's picking up, heaviest it's been since it started.

Wow.

Wow. Down to 1.8 here

Thats all predicted to dry out once it passes the mountains.. Honestly…just looking at the radar it looks like this whole storm will be a bust east of the NC Mountains and Charlotte Areas… looking at the radar currently you can clearly see how much moisture is out there but it begins to die out when it passes these areas because of the dry air already in place & the coastal is also taking away the energy from the low coming across and transferring its energy into the coastal that looks like it will develop too far south off the coast. In turn drying out everything west & nw of it… Maybe the NC/SC coast gets back in some action late afternoon tomorrow once the storm explodes out to sea and starts to backfill…But looks like Raleigh up to Richmond is dried up… Only chance now would be if this thing can stay closer to the coast a little longer and really ramp up quickly & backfill but this dosnt look very likely at this point especially up this way..

Looks like the band is beginning to sink into West Knoxville. Oak Ridge looks to be getting nailed currently.

1am down to 17. I'll get very gusty winds that blow snow, and then it calms down for a while. It's mostly blown snow off the trees.
