Greyhound

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.


.

For those keeping track……here’s the latest from WVLT. Still wondering what model runs they are hanging their hats on.


.

Get that RAP crap outta here!!!! I can’t handle a bust now that I’ve gone all in!!!!


.

Anyone else thinking 3-6” in and around Knoxville could be a little light?


.

Based on the consistent numbers these runs keep spitting out, I most certainly agree with you. One of my previous ways to “forecast” amounts at my house was to take about 75% off projected totals (and it worked!) but I’m not really feeling that with this system!!! Bring me the goods baby!!!!! Even though we live close to each other, I can’t wait to compare totals with you and Stovepipe. I think Silas live kinda close also.


.

If this works out Greyhound, you have to put that snowman jack-o-lantern thingy up every year. 

Absolutely!!!! So many years I have wanted to sling that thing as far as I could throw it!!!


.

WVLT in Knoxville changed their area forecast to 2-5”. Guess the upgrade by MRX to include most of the area to a warning made them reconsider their previous paltry numbers.


.

Don't know what the met of wvlt is watching but lmao

They are definitely sticking to their guns.


.

Well maybe it won't get better. It's warm nosing like crazy and has rain in Crossville and mid-40s up the Eastern areas.

.

Not gonna lie, this wind has me concerned.  Our little trailer is already shaking from the wind, might have to get us out if it continues to get worse

Where are you located? Eerily calm at my house in Knoxville. Stay safe!!


.

It never fails. I step out for a while, then finally get a chance to catch up on all the posts while I’ve been away. Reading the posts…..things keep looking better and better and better. My hopes go up. My enthusiasm is through the roof. Then as I’m catching up and getting towards the end of the comments - there’s a model run (Euro) that makes the doubt and fear come roaring back. So here I sit…..worried and pissed until we get more data and trends. It sucks being a snow lover in the south.


.

I’m terrible with years but I remember (maybe 2015) we had two weeks of brutal cold and a couple of overrunning events right after a polar front? Like I said I’m terrible with dates, even years for that matter.


.

It was right around Valentine’s Day in 2015


.

Channel 4 here has scaled way back.  Some are now saying hardly any snow.  Hilarious how the pendulum swings.  If no snow I do hope this cold spell is very short lived.  I will cover my new landscaping hoping to save it.  Cold & dry can get lost for all I care.  Working in it sucks. 

Wonder how that crow tastes since they are the ones that put out that snowmageddon info yesterday?

Wife and I came to Memphis this morning for a quick “business” trip. The wind and rain are rolling in. Sitting in our hotel room we can definitely hear the wind outside and that “whine” it makes around windows/doors.


.

Alright peeps……with the potential for a healthy dose of winter weather coming our way, I need to make you aware of the “Curse of The Snowman”.

You see…..my wife has this decorative metal snowman that she hangs on the door every winter after Christmas. And every year we get what I call “nuisance snows”…..those around an inch or less. When she takes it down…..we get amounts well over 3-4” or more (2014, 2015, 2020). I live less than 5 miles from PowellVolz and he ALWAYS gets more than I do!!!

Even more, when this dang metal contraption is hanging, it partially covers the window on the door and from the inside of the house, with the light shining from the outside……it creates a shadow that looks like an eerie jack-o’-lantern laughing at me!!!

There is simply no way of NOT hanging this on the door. So this year, while saying a silent prayer to Frosty, I hung the metal snowman myself. So hopefully there’s some new mojo that will work in our favor.

Yeah……this is all in jest……but you have been warned!!!


.

This is ugly for ETn but I’ll stick to my theory that you never want to be in the bullseye in the 5-7 day range.


.

Warm nose? East TN shafted? Book it……this is almost always the final solution no matter how far out.

Wow!!! We have friends leaving on a cruise from Ft Lauderdale sometime today


.

From MRX:


.

I think most of the forum region got in on it, except maybe Chattanooga and Memphis. But they may have gotten in on it too. 40 corridor and north had several events of snow/sleet/freezing rain. Parts of Middle Tennessee got 12+ from one storm in January 2016.

If my memory is correct, Knox County Schools we’re out for two weeks. We had 3-4 snow events during that time frame, and below freezing cold for quite a few consecutive days.

We are headed to Mt LeConte midweek for a two night stay. I’m ok to hike in the rain, but the thunder boomers can stay away!!!


.

I’m trying to upload a gif from RadarScope but its to big of a file.  Looking at relative velocity in the super resolution…..it’s switching back and forth from red to green.  Is that an indication of winds swirling in the upper levels?
