Says thats a confirmed tornado
Yep. Watching WBIR they are doing a good job showing radar, velocity and cor. coefficient as to how it’s depicted on radar. Talking debris balls and that it appears to be growing and tightening up.

Holston……sorry for delayed reply, but the metal snowman has been put up for the season. Major renovations started on the house last week, so we packed up and moved into an AirBNB for two months. Wife didn’t want it getting damaged. I told her that it was required to stay up until mid-March (per forum request)……..but I got “that look” and an eye roll!! Such blasphemy from that woman!!!!

I’m at Avalon playing golf (beautiful day) and I can see the windmills on top of Wind Rock.
.
Rub it in!!!! I’m gonna try Island Pointe next week!!
Here’s the windmills up close…..well, as close as I could legally get. Pretty massive!!

We may have used up our elk mojo. It all comes down to whether that wooly worm was right, and whether the metal snowman(whose was that?) has got anything left in the tank. Now, in YNP elk will go to lower elevations if it gets cold. The elk may be headed to Florida for vacation.
Metal snowman is my wife’s. I hung it up this year and we got good results!!! Thing is…..we are a week or two away from starting a MAJOR renovation on our house and will be moving out for two months. No idea what she wants to do with that thing in the meantime……..but I will listen to the forum for advice!!!!

I see so many people on social media complaining that they are over it. Give them a few years and they will be whining that it NEVER snows here anymore. Me……I’m enjoying the heck out of it!!! As John1122 said, this is like the late 70s / early 80s!! I say bring it on!!

My wife and I were out and about yesterday and today, taking food to warming shelters and delivering food for Mobile Meals b/c they couldn’t get to all the people they serve. Went into some pretty elevated subdivisions I never knew existed, and lemme tell ya…..getting out of there was definitely a High Pucker Factor experience!!! Definitely agree with PowellVolz that the roads are much worse today. Knox county did call off schools for the rest of the week, but based on upcoming weather and the current state of some of the subdivisions, I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t go back until the middle of next week.

Man, he was awful with the storm we just finished. I hope he's off in a good way with this one.
I mean……he DID work at WVLT!!! LOL!!!
To be fair, I do like Aldrich and the enthusiasm he brings to his forecasts. But, I almost always come to these pages in regards to weather forecasts

Here’s the forecast from “Captain Accurate” (David Aldrich). Right or wrong…..no idea!!

It’s not just this post, but the AFD’s with all this coding or whatever is just unreadable. But it’s weird, when I quote it the text then becomes readable in my quote only.
I’ve noticed the same thing, but I primarily use Tapatalk on my phone. Never really paid attention to it when I’m on a computer

I’ve always wondered why my amounts have been less than others around me. Though maybe it was a defective Harbor Freight tape measure??? But seeing some totals of others around me I pulled up a topography map of Knox Co. My house is right at the red
mark. Could it be that I’m getting some down sloping from this little ridge to the west? For the record……I’m sitting at 6.75” right now.
Edit to add: there’s about a 200ft elevation difference from the highest point of that ridge to my house

What in the Memphis is going on out there.

Wonder where is she getting that info? I just looked on traffic cams and even though the map legend shows closed, I have seen some cars on those sections of roads.

I love that you have the locations for Egwani and River Island/Island Pointe on your RadarScope!!!!

Got out and rode around Knoxville for a few hours. Roads going downhill fast. Knox County doing their best to scrape/plow, but the rates were so high that their tracks were covered within seconds. UT campus isn’t much better. Saw a pile of snow that had been removed from the roads that was a good 8+ feet tall.
Biggest idiot drivers - those in pickup trucks. Apparently they are invincible in regards to ANY road conditions. I had to pull over several times to let them pass me because they were riding my rear end.
Second group of idiot drivers - people in Chevy and GMC SUV’s. Don’t know why it was this specific brand, but they were about as bad as the pickup trucks.
Thirds group of idiots - smaller crossover SUV’s.
Either I was over cautious, or they were over confident. All of them were flying around and treating the roads/conditions as just another normal day. I have drove enough off road at Windrock and Royal Blue that I respect the conditions and know how to operate my Jeep to keep it under control. And more so, I know how to react when things start going wrong. Doubt I could say the same for them.
Overall…..had fun out riding around!!! Stay safe and be careful if anyone has to get out.

It’s a good snow when it starts piling up in and around your vehicle wheels.

Got mine prepped and ready in case I NEED to get out. Still debating if I want to get out and play though……

For those keeping tabs……..here’s the latest from WVLT

Looks safe to say WVLTs 2-3" accumulation for me and Knoxville is a complete bust, especially since most in that 2-3" forecast still have about 10 to 12 hours of snowfall to go. Really surprised they downplayed this event so much when they surely saw guidance.
Actually……I started to feel sorry for the on-air people. They probably knew it was gonna bust high, but there was probably some one in management that told them what they HAD to say. Either that…..or they are just plain ignorant!!!!

Same here. Just hit the 4 inch mark. Adding up faster now. Still holding strong at 29.
Aren’t you around the Inskip road area? I’m in the neighborhood up behind St Joseph’s off Cedar Lane

What's the temp? It will take lower than 25 or a heavy burst to start on main roads that have salt/brine working. Brine is much less effective below 25 and almost completely ineffective at 15 or lower.
I drove home through Jacksboro/LaFollette an hour ago and bridges were covered on brined areas and patches on the roads. But the roads were mostly wet due to the brine. The temp was 27 there then.
I don’t have a PWS (too many trees), but this one is closest to my house.

Two questions related to roads:
1). When should it start sticking to roads in Knox County? Just all wet at the moment.
2). At what temp does the brine become ineffective?

Coming down pretty good in Fountain City

At least we know our weather stations are calibrated, I'm right there with you.
Also, LOL at the ads!
Stove……What’s the name/station ID of yours (if you don’t mind me asking). 744?
. -
NAM maybe? Looks north like the NAM or they aren’t buying the larger precip shield
.
Yeah……agree with you on the NAM possibility. I’ll give them credit, they are sticking with it and gonna ride that forecast till the very end.
