    Surface is 32 to 33 here in north knox. Had some sleet mixed in with drizzle. Was mostly drizzle last I checked. Could get ugly if temps keep dropping and we don't get the switch to snow. I don't think anyone is paying attention to this and roads could get bad quick.

    I took a peak at the HRRR, NAM, and RGEM last night before bed. NAM had Knoxville at a low of 14 or 15, HRRR at 11, and RGEM around zero. Thought it would be interesting to see how the short range are handling the cold air. My thermometer got down to 6 here. So not quite as cold as the RGEM showed, but it seems to be doing good with correctly modeling the depth of cold.

    What is your total right now? I just measured about an inch here near Fountain City.

    I don't really understand the purpose of the HRRR? I hardly ever look at it even in regardless of season. Never seems it initialize with correct radar from the start and does not seem to recognize terrain as I never see any rhyme or reason to precipitation patterns. Never seems to pick up on NWF showers or any lighter moisture either. Not trying to dunk on it, legitimately asking: what is this model good at and what is it used for? I prefer NAM and RGEM. Way better at temps and noticing dry slotting depending on scenario.

    I was going to say something about that as well. A little confused which direction this should be coming from.

    Same here near Fountain City. Anyone have obs from other parts of town?
  7. Silas Lang
    Everything white here near Fountain City. Temp down to 30.

    Lots of small flakes falling here in Inskip neighborhood in Knoxville.

    First time I have seen this issued before. I know they have released maps with probability numbers but I really like this layout. Feels like a good way to message snow amounts.

    Man all mods are consistent Knox getting the sharp cutoff with an average of around 5 inches.
  11. Silas Lang
    Noticed some models want to keep it snowing longer as well.

    If this shifts west, does it lead to an earlier onset? I guess from phasing earlier? Like could this storm sneak up on us with a west trend?
  13. Silas Lang
    Or I guess it is a drizzle? Like you can barely see it squinting outside, but it is actually falling at a pretty good rate. Just tiny tiny droplets.
  14. Silas Lang
    It is a mist here where I am at near Fountain City. Down to 25. Slicker than snot out there. Poor dog was sliding all over the deck. Thank goodness school was closed. Going to be rough out there in the morning/day with temps below freezing.

    Still at 29 here just northwest of downtown Knox.
