  1. The sunrise this morning at the house was pretty cool! I took this picture at just the right time to catch a faint “sun pillar” at least that’s what we’ve always called them.
  2. The frost this morning is extremely thick here. I’m sure it had to do with the fog, but currently it’s 24 degrees and foggy with the heaviest frost I’ve seen in a long, long time.
  3. Yes I have come to realize that over the years about them. It’s unfortunate too, it would be nice to compare it to possible upcoming storms, in this pattern, or any pattern. However, with the data so unreliable, it’s not possible.
  4. Is there a snowfall map from that event? I would love to see how it played out around here. Judging by the radar, there was some precip here but I’m not sure how much accumulation there was
  5. That’s insane! Wish I was there!!
  6. You know, I was surprised to see that Knoxville is 63° this afternoon. Meanwhile I’ve still got some fog and dense clouds the temp here is still 53°. It truly is amazing around here sometimes with these microclimates.
  7. Still snowing albeit very light flakes. I ended up with just a little more than 1/2in. I know lots of places on the west side of the county picked up more than an inch though. All in all I’m happy with what I got, considering I wasn’t sure what would happen.
  8. Could it be a series of shortwaves around a parent clipper possibly?
  9. It would be fitting for this to happen. I think Carver mentioned it earlier in the thread. A long time ago, when we had these kind of air masses, it would always seem to snow one last time on the last cold or semi cold day before the warm-up. In other words, end the cold snap with a snow. The old timers used to say it would have to “warm up” to snow. I can remember hearing that more than once. Just like the phrase too cold to snow (of course we know that’s not the case it was always just the moisture wasn’t there.)
  10. MRX actually updated to mention that in the latest afd. Have had another dusting overnight and some good snow showers this AM.
  11. Even here, the pixie dust has increased for the time. I have a nice dusting again on some surfaces. I sure wasn’t expecting that. I thought that after last night failed that would be it. However, as often it seems is the case in NE TN, the day after the storm, snow showers and patches/small bands form and move through the area. This time is a little different though, bc besides out west, I have never seen it snow at 2 degrees where I currently am sitting.
  12. Getting some fine pixie dust right now. It’s kinda dusted the roof tops and car tops very lightly for the last hour. It’s almost like a fog outside.
  13. The closest thing I can remember was the PV anafrontal snow we had in January 2014, when it snowed a solid 1-3in across the area. That front and moisture worked for the valley, unlike this time. It was around 16 degrees or so when it started snowing that morning and dropped steadily for an hour or two. The snow was over around noon and the temp at the house was 10 by then. By 3 in the afternoon, it was around 6 degrees and around 3 when the sun set. After it was all said and done, we bottomed out at -3 at the house. Some places went lower. The thing about this current event coldwise, it seems, is that it was over a bigger area. The direction of the 2014 event if my memory is correct was centered slightly further east, so that the coldest readings were over E TN and KY and SW VA.
  14. Just had a heavy snow shower roll through town. Barely anything with the main event, and then boom. Laid down about 1/4-1/3in on the roads and everything around in just a matter of minutes!
  15. Yes I wonder if that’s because the flow ended up being more SW to NE allowing a little gulf tap? I also wonder if the added moisture will play into more being able to be squeezed out later as the arctic air works on it?
  16. The GFS is also getting colder for Friday morning! Seeing a lot of sub zero I40 N
  17. I don’t recall a statewide one either! Maybe in the 80’s but it’s been awhile.
  18. I can’t recall ever seeing WC Warning since I’ve lived in E TN! Advisory yes, only warnings for the mtns. Takes a lot for MRX to issue one for the valley
  19. That is the most extreme model I’ve seen. I thought the HRRR had a warm bias? It’s got everyone solidly below zero at 7AM friday
  20. For sure the 5” valley surprise. It was supposed to snow maybe 1/2in and change over to rain due to a warm nose up the valley. The thing is, a cold pool of air developed due to dynamic cooling and CAA, and somehow the warmth got shunted to Johnson City and the mountains. The mountains warmed up to almost 50 degrees and I think even JC was like 47 or so, but to the west it was all snow. Never switched over to rain. Some areas in Hancock Co TN and Lee Co VA had over a foot or more of snow. Never fully understood, even to this day the miracle that happened with that event. Usually the mountains get the snow and somehow they got the shaft and the valley got the goods! I guess it was just meant to be is all I can say.
  21. February of 2015 had me crying uncle and I don’t cry uncle easily! There was snow on the ground for nearly the entire month. It started off with a clipper on steroids and then it seemed like we had snow after snow about every 2-4 days. Several of which were pretty good snows! The thing that got me the most was the inability to work. I’m in pest control, and there’s just not a lot of opportunities to say the least when it gets like that.
  22. GFS looks faster with the cold another 25mi faster east move like it was doing yesterday.
