Interesting clouds in JC this evening. Maybe it's a sign 

Visibility here near Cadiz  Kentucky is maybe a quarter of a mile. It is really coming down.

I don’t know why, but I just can’t get excited about this one. I’ve seen too many of the deal killers mentioned for me to get my hopes up:

• downsloping
• sun angle
• warm nose
• virga
• energy transfer / hand-off

I hope I’m wrong and we all get a good event, but mentally, I’m just expecting a nuisance event at best for my location in Knoxville.

I went to this area and and found multiple telephone poles and huge trees down in Ft City at Gresham Middle school. However I believe there’s damage that no one has found or reported yet because there was a CC drop for one frame close to that area. However CC drops are usually one frame or 5 min behind. So if you back the radar up one frame, Black Oak Ridge is where the storm was located one frame before and it’s probably 400-500 feet above the valley floor. This is about the time the couplet upticked for a frame or two. I think the funnel was just off the ground most of the time and was bouncing off the tops of ridges right before it got to downtown. 
 

Just went over me

I think we are going to see both the New Orleans all time snowfall record and the state of Florida all time snowfall record fall. Pretty incredible event. 

My son at ETSU has a lot of snow coming down & easily 2”.  Much more than they called for. 

Does anyone know why this is happening?
 
Allen Media Group, who owns and operates 22 local "big 4" television stations across the US, and also coincidentally, The Weather Channel, has decided to cut costs by eliminating the jobs of every local meteorologist at all of their stations. all of them. 

Jan 24’ was pretty incredible. Snowed for about 28ish hours, however the last 10 hours is where it left its mark. Seems like 2014 (if I’m remembering correctly) we had a similar situation but it ended up a big mess. 5” of snow turned to several inches of sleet, then a little FRz before we went back to snow. However it seems like there was two big storms several days apart with an inverted trough across the foothills that brought around 5” of snow in the valley. We had lows below zero for several nights. Didn’t break freezing for a week. School was out for two weeks. One of my schools had a sprinkler freeze and bust. We found it because the motion sensor caught the water rolling down the hall and it set the security alarm off. lol… I was there for 20 hours working. Good times 

I got up around 6am to let our dogs out and noticed light snow falling. Three hours later and it’s still coming down. Small tiny flakes, but a consistent light rate


.

Just a tad over 1.5” in Fountain City/Knoxville. Currently have freezing rain that has developed a crunchy coating on top of the snow.

Yessir. Starting to pick up here now! 

It has begun. Units of measurement ready. 

All final hi res still showing mixing issues through the valley later this evening. Not holding my breath. See y'all later. Good luck 

Why it best to add your location,it does help

One thing I would like to ask:

It doesn’t happen so much here, but when I look at other websites/forums, people will post “it’s snowing at my house”……..but I have no idea where that is.

There’s a lot of new people, and those who lurk but never post. So please add your location when posting an observation.

Carry on

Fixing to switch over to my laptop now, was trying to upload via my phone at first.  I have no idea where that first picture came from, lol.

When storms roll into the continent north of Vancouver, there just isn't much up there.  The southern systems over the eastern continental US get sampled well, even off shore.  Systems north of Vancouver give modeling fits at times.  I wonder if the data was sparse, and what data went into modeling showed a weaker storm...in reality it showed a blind spot.  OR it could just have a weaker vortex.  Hopefully, we continue to see amounts rebound today E TN.  6z was a good start!

[mention=10090]Greyhound[/mention], we need an update on the metal snowman.

Wife and I went on an 11 day cruise to Southeast Alaska at the end of October. I’ve already experience a snowstorm, temps in the low to mid 20s, and gusty winds that chilled you to the bones. All that to say, I’m perfectly fine to skip this coming iteration of “winter” and proceed straight to spring.

Anyone know anything new about the Nolichuckey dam failure possibility (see WJHL)?  They had listed failure as imminent late last night.  I haven’t seen an update....

Nolichucky Dam - imminent failure per warning

Hearing a section of I-40 in the mountains has lost all of the lanes on one side - washed into the river.
