    I think that even if we make it to the mid 30s the ground is so cold and frozen, it could still freeze up in spots. My road is nasty. Compacted snow several inches thick. I think they tried to plow it, but it just made it solid? Anyway, rain will not help that glacier.

    Honestly even Monday could be another day or at least a delay. That's the first real "warm" day, but it is still supposed to be very cold in the morning. Anyway, secondary roads are awful all over Knox. I live in the city proper and still no plow. Not that it would do much with all the compacted snow and ice.

    Yeah, I noticed the GFS went a little north. Almost like RGEM and GFS have met in the middle. If I had to guess, I assume places with a thick snowpack will hover just at or below freezing, resulting in freezing rain or snow. The valleys may fair better since they will pool cold air. Wondering if MRX will pull the trigger on an advisory. I think it's needed if for precaution if nothing else. People may falsely believe that their roads are clear and not realize that it's just a sheet of ice. Temps should fall on Friday too.

    Also, would this event register for an advisory? Friday will have dropping temps even if they manage to get above freezing in the morning. I can imagine it will be a huge mess, even if precip is limited and rain...

    Speaking of models and temps, I noticed the NAM was about 10 degrees warmer than RGEM for this morning. I think the RGEM is doing better with temps and picking up snowpack. For this reason, I think I trust it more than the NAM for this event. Now, looks like for some areas that will be freezing rain, but still frozen. NAM wants cold rain for all.

    -5 is what my thermometer shows.

    0z GFS essentially the same as 18z. A hair north and less precip, but still shows snow.
  8. Silas Lang
    Looks like the RGEM has been trending south with that snow line.

    Man, a solid hit. Regardless of totals, even a half inch would feel big on top of this snow pack. So it's GFS vs the world? lol
  10. Silas Lang
    Yeah I measured 8 to 9 in places in the yard, though hard to tell since some sleet and rain had compacted it. Also found some deep pockets of 10 to 11. Drifts? Anyway, Pretty cool storm. Ended up with a final half inch last night to recoat what I had cleaned up too.

    Not really sure what to think of this one. Models showing rain, but with a thick snowpack and frigid air and more coming behind this system, one has to think we have shot a frozen precipitation regardless of what the models spit out. I just don't know how the cold can retreat so easily.
  12. Silas Lang
    Measured 9 inches at the peak of the goose feather flakes. Probably a little more compacted with the sleet and rain from earlier. All snow here again. Tiny flakes, but a lot. Everything has a fresh coat of snow. A great winter day.
  13. Silas Lang
    Yeah, an icy mix here now at 24. Rain, flakes, and sleet.
  14. Silas Lang
    Yeah, I noticed some sleet or ice mixing in when I went outside. I say ice, because rain is probably cold enough to freeze before hitting the ground!

    I don't know man, radar looks healthy. Futurecast shows returns continuously until midnight at least.
  16. Silas Lang
    Just measured 8 in the yard. Biggest flakes I have ever seen in my life. Snowballs falling here. 24 degrees.
  17. Silas Lang
    Every run of HRRR seems to prolong this event. This is 1am.
  18. Silas Lang
    What a weird barrier I-40 is. An odd look overall.
  19. Silas Lang
    Over 7 inches now. 25 degrees.
  20. Silas Lang
    Temps dropping down to 27. Snowing hard. Measured 6 about an hour ago.
  21. Silas Lang
    Hardest snow all day. Fully expect over 6 inches on the next measurement. It is pouring. Temps falling to 28.
  22. Silas Lang
    Man, the radar is still looking beefy too. What a day!
  23. Silas Lang
    Pouring snow now. Dropped to 28 degrees.
  24. Silas Lang
    Snow really started picking up in intensity now.
  25. Silas Lang
    Just dropped back down to 29 degrees.
