    Haha! Gfs catching on!! Looks a lot better

    It’s actually posted on the previous page. It was a very nice run for sure. Probably the best yet by the euro. It looked similar to the rgem, just a little less.

    GFS says, oh hello Lee side low
  4. Jed33
    Man that rgem run looks like those GEFS runs from the past few days. Hmmm

    Trending toward the RGEM?

    I see you RGEM! I like that model a lot bc I have seen it get a lot of things right over the years. That said it seems a little overdone. I like that the 3k NAM has the same general idea though. Seems like an Arctic front with a 1050+/- hp pushing it along would line up more like this scenario. The NAM/GFS seems more like what you would expect with a 1035ish or so HP pushing it, and that looks to be true. The rgem has a high as strong as 1052 at one point that weakens to a 1047, while the gfs never gets stronger than 1047 and weakens it to around 1040. Could that difference could be the reason in the slower frontal passage on the gfs?

    Ran into a brief snow shower on the way into work this morning. Nice to see, albeit very short lived.

    It was also that way here in town earlier this evening and around 2 or so there was a brief sleet/graupel shower

    I saw those clouds earlier and thought they were cool. I’ve seen them before in the winter months. Ironically it seems that maybe they coincide with times that we’ve either had snow on the ground or it was about to be? There was still a pretty good bit of snow in the shade around here this morning, but now only the most dense shade and a few eves and roofs in the shade have any left.

    @BhamParker Nice! You should consider moving up here. As you know you can’t beat this area for its beauty and for a location in the South, we actually get at least some snow every year. My parents live in Birmingham, so I know what it’s like firsthand during the winter down there. Thanks for the pics and updates!

    It’s actually snowing again pretty good here right now. Another band FTW!

    Here’s a picture from this morning. We moved from our old house we had lived in for 10yrs to this new location closer town, so was wondering what the effect would be on snowfall totals. This time around, the new location did better than where I just moved from. It was, apparently, all about the banding last night.

    Wow guys, I went to bed at 11:30 with 3/4in and just woke up with 1 3/4in! Sometime during the night, it must have really opened up and snowed hard! I hate that I missed it, but it sure is nice to see this AM
  14. Jed33
    Nice heavy dusting here now everything is beginning to turn white temp is 31.
  15. Jed33
    Nice steady snow coming down here now. Rooftops are beginning to whiten up a little bit.
  16. Jed33
    Snow has really picked up here in the last 20-30mins. It’s switched over to all snow and a lot of nickel sized flakes.
  17. Jed33
    It’s beginning to mix a little here and there in Morristown. I went up on Crockett Ridge (1,952ft) a min ago and it was all snow up there but nothing is sticking yet. Seems like it only lasts like John said for 5min or so at a time. Definitely showery like.

    I hear ya Stove! Until yesterday I had only picked up 0.09in the entire month of July. Yesterday we got 0.35in and today, so far only 0.08in. It has been very dry around my part of the county, but other areas have done well for sure.
  19. Jed33
    Yes it’s really something else. I’m in Pigeon Forge with the family and you can just barely see any of the mountains. Also it rained here earlier this AM and everyone’s car has dried dust droplets all over it now that it has dried off. Pretty crazy to think that I can scrape dust from the Sahara off of my vehicle!!

    Hit 33 this AM with a pretty heavy frost everywhere. Like everyone else, I’m hoping this is it until Fall as well. I had waited to put most of my plants out-only had about a dozen tomatoes out, which I had to cover up with buckets as well. The thing I was most worried about was my blueberry crop which seems to have fared ok, thankfully. Got to get the rest of my plants in the ground it’s time for summer!

    Bottomed out at 33 not officially a freeze, but there is ice on the cover of the trampoline. Tonight has me more concerned than last night with the ridge moving overhead. Like MRX said, there will be excellent radiational cooling.
  22. Jed33
    An intense snow shower moving through here right now as well. It’s more of a graupel/ice chunk kinda snow but really cool. Even have a light dusting on house tops and grass.

    Man John I hate to hear that. Do you have any left worth trying to salvage? Aside from putting a couple guard dogs there to protect it, another trick my grandfather and I used to use on our melon patch was urine. Now before anyone laughs me off and thinks I'm crazy, it actually works. The human scent will repel animals. Just have to save enough containers like milk jugs and cool whip containers to scatter around the patch. Of course it requires a strong stomach to do this, but if you do this and keep it out there, you will be surprised at how it helps. You will have to replace it if it rains and or after about a week, but it was always worth it to do for our melon patches. We had several 5-10 acre sized fields that we raised watermelons and cantaloupes on when I was growing up. We always sold them to grocers and wholesale buyers. It was a lot of work, but also a lot of fun. Taught me a lot about hard work and the benefits of doing it. Something a lot of kids are missing these days. Brings back a lot of memories, but I digress though. Fwiw though that technique will work.

    Wow Stove congrats!

    Well, I mentioned I'd update y'all on this vine okra. It's been coming in ever so slowly but finally looks as though it's gonna come on and produce well. Here is an example of what it looks like. This particular pod is laying right on the ground actually in the grass. I have some more pods up off the ground and will try to get a pic of a bigger one tomorrow. The fruit tastes a lot like okra but is a little sweeter, a little crunchier, and definitely goes a lot further, as the pods grow over a foot long and are still tender at 10-12in long. I would definitely grow it again, just need a better trellis and setup than what I have.
