Showing about 7" at my house near Mghee Tyson. My wife and I live on a steep gravel road, about 1/2 mile long, with somewhat unforgiving asphalt roads around our house

We are having our first child Monday morning (via c-section)!!!!

You guys think roads would be an issue at all early Monday morning? Looks to be below freezing when we head to the hospital at 4AM. 

I have plenty of salt and a leaf blower just in case haha I know it's overkill but you can't be to careful 

NW snow machine blesses a select few. About 1.5" near Mghee Tyson

Had a nice little burst of snow near TYS, coated everything quickly

We've got an official flizzard ongoing near TYS 

Ground/drive instantly lightly coated

Downsloping in the central valley?

Just started snowing near Mghee Tyson Airport, not much but you can see it

Hasn't made it out of the 30s at TYS today

Yeah, tale of two worlds haha

I live right on the wrong at, but on the side of,  the excess/deficit line in Blount County. Very frustrating watching storms fall apart as they approach 

Strange returns on radar near Maryville 

No obvious source or smoke on satellite. I'm directly under these returns

Bugs?

Right on the southern cutoff! What an awesome Christmas memory ❤

Perfect day for ac to go out lol

82 inside with 40% humidity 

or

75 outside with 100% humidity 

Hard choices lol 

Went up to the Foothills Parkway Saturday and got some cool photos of Neowise. Definitely not as intense but with the somewhat limited light pollution could definitely make it out without the aid of a camera or binoculars

Also got this awesome shot of TYS, you can make out the Alcoa (ok Arconic lol) tower in Alcoa as well. 

This is from Hardin Valley near Pellissipi on saturday. Definitely need binoculars or a good camera/tripod due to the light pollution. Definitely worth going out to see!

Had a couple great looking cucumbers ready to go (got my garden started way to late this year).

Woke up this morning to multiple bunnies merrily chomping away, somehow they broke/chewed thru the fencing

Now I just get to tell tales of how amazing they would have been

Really coming down over central valley, crazy lightning!

Training here too, surprised no flash flood warnings

These may not show up well, but sure can see the Chattanooga Tornado damage path on MODIS Satellite

Before (Saturday the 10th)

After (15th)

No kidding!

My non-educated review of GFS 12Z run says bulls eye of 7-8" around central valley over the next 156 hours. Entire valley is 4"+

EURO 12Z says 1-3" in valley, heavier numbers more middle/west TN

I work as a Geotechnical Consultant and we have enough land slides and sinkholes as it is... come on, give us a break lol!!! 

Doing this job for over 10 years now, I have never seen the amount of massive deep seated on-going slope failures we have at this point (really beginning since last March 2019). Check your bedding planes, soil properties, vegetation growth patterns, and slope inclinations before you buy a home or property!!! My heart has been broken countless times helping poor folks trying to repair geotechnical issues costing 5-10 times what the home costs.

Quite a bit of sleet mixed in this morning under 30+dbz returns near tys this morning ..

I'll take what I can get lol

Full Satellite - Very interesting snow hole up in western Hawkins and Hamblen. Almost like Clinch mountain held up some of the cold air intrusion?

Lots of photos... sattlite, colored topo, and zoomed in topo of the snow hole with the spine of clinch mountain highlighted in red. Let me know if my abundance of photos is an issue!

Got about 1/2-1 near Meghee Tyson Airport. Whole lot of sleet at onset, so guess that cut down some totals. Love to get some reports from the Sequatchie valley, looks plastered! So close Chatt... so close!

Obligatory GEOS East satellite photo. I'll post a high resolution image once Terra/Aqua fly by around 1-2PM

Where did you get this image? Super Cool!

Love this resource, so awesome to see snow after the affect or even check the current southern progress of leaf color change! 

Sometimes you need to switch between Terra and Aqua to find the highest resolution pass...

Well, hello Dorian!

Not often that Memphis sees the sun in the morning 1 hour before Knoxville lol
