    Here’s a picture of old Faithful. Although it erupts regularly it is not the tallest geyser in the park.

    Hey guys, I’ve been keeping up with everything back home, but I’m the meantime, we’ve been skiing at Big Sky Montana and visited Yellowstone today. I’ve got so many pictures I don’t know where to start. I guess I’ll start with a pic of Lone Mtn at the base at Big Sky. The base is around 50” here and we’ve picked up about 5” or so of new snow since we’ve been here. On the way to Yellowstone this AM, the car temp bottomed out at -14F and that is just a random regular day for them. The highest temp I’ve seen since we’ve been here was 28 on Friday when we landed! Pretty much everywhere you go, there is at least 2-3ft on the ground and in W Yellowstone, more like 4-5ft!

    We’re in Nashville today and it’s absolutely ripping here right now! There’s nothing sticking here yet, but I’d say there was about 1/2in on the plateau around Monterey. Once we came off the mountain, into Cookeville and the rest of the way, there was only snow in the air. Too bad it’s not a little colder though. If it was, there would probably be 1-2in by now.

    I thought the same thing. That line meant business as it came through!

    Likewise, lots of lightning, thunder, wind, and even a Tornado warning here in Hamblen Co. this afternoon. Thunder is still rumbling in the distance off and on. Reminds me really of a summertime MCS where the main line comes through and you just keep getting occasional lightning and thunder for an hour or two later.

    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.

    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.

    18z GFS with the backside NWF.

    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.

    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

    That’s insane! Wish I was there!!

    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.

    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.
  14. Jed33
    Could it be a series of shortwaves around a parent clipper possibly?

    Could we say the GFS= Garbage for Sure haha!

    Light snow beginning to fall here now.

    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.)

    MRX actually updated to mention that in the latest afd. Have had another dusting overnight and some good snow showers this AM.
  19. Jed33
    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!
  23. Jed33
    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?

    The GFS is also getting colder for Friday morning! Seeing a lot of sub zero I40 N
  25. Jed33
    I don’t recall a statewide one either! Maybe in the 80’s but it’s been awhile.
