    Got some intense nickel sized hail in Louisville TN near Mghee Tyson last night. Have quite a bit of paint damage to my brand new truck ... Most hail I have seen since the April 2011 events.

    Sure seemed like the storms bowed out coming up the valley last night, got some intense wind near blount/knox county line! 54 mph gust as TYS?!

    My company is drilling this one right now and I am looking for the solution (lots of grout pumped under high pressure likely). Looking to be about a 150K fix!! The amount of geotechnical issues caused by the amazing rainfall is insane... I have been dealing with mud flows in Knoxville... Mud Flows!!! My office is located in Hardin Valley, just off Beaver Creek. We were very close to getting flooded. According to FEMA flood maps, the flood line was somewhere between the 100 and 500 year flood event (much closer to the 500). Just insane!

    Nice little burst of sleet in West Knoxville/Hardin Valley area. Started accumulating on cars and grass, but seems to be switching to mostly rain now. Raw weather none the less!

    super heavy snow in louisville tn, just north of tys. Conditions went downhill very quickly. Went out in the jeep around 830am to mostly sleet with rain and trace snow. Switched to incredibly heavy snow by 9, over 1 inch on elevated surfaces, roads covered in very slick snow/sleet. Many smaller cars are now stuck! That escalated quickly

    Maybe I missed this but looks like MRX added all of Blount County to the WWA (previously we weren't included here in Louisville), specifically mentions issues with the commute Monday. Heavy sleet just started in Blount County near TYS (just north) ...SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL ACROSS PARTS OF THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS AND NORTHERN TENNESSEE VALLEY TODAY... Moderate to locally heavy snow will continue across Southwest Virginia, Northeast Tennessee, and the mountains along the North Carolina border. Significant snow accumulations are expected in these areas, especially over the higher terrain. The moderate to heavy snow will taper off late this afternoon. Scattered rain and snow showers are expected again tonight and Monday, with only light additional snow accumulations.

    WXsouths paid blog is a little more bullish for the knoxville area north in this mornings update.. last night not so much. We shall see... in other news. The SREF plumes are getting fun looking at snow totals for TYS (I know I know.. just for fun lol). I'll post an update for a couple cities later in the afternoon if someone else doesnt

    Trend is our friend?

    Maybe we will see some more flakes around Knoxville from this little bit upstream around Nashville...

    Can't stop looking at the GEOS 16 floater (Snow and Ice). Don't know why but watching the sunrise (and incredible shadow distance) is really cool...

    Clingman's Dome Webcam this morning..

    Beautiful view from Look Rock Webcam on the Foothills Parkway (Chilohowee Mountain Range) looking into the smokys this morning Is there some downsloping going on between the Chilohowee Mnts and the higher elevations..?
  17. Knoxtron
    Got to 34 at Mghee Tyson last night, sitting at 38 now 16 at Clingmans around 7AM!
  18. Knoxtron
    Well, that's purty
  19. Knoxtron
    On a completely different note, the GOES16 floater is pointed at TN today. I get mesmerized watching it sometimes, be neat to see the storms popping up this afternoon http://weather.cod.edu/satrad/exper/?parms=meso-meso2-truecolor-200-0-100-1&checked=map&colorbar=undefined

    Reading your write up Jeff gives me shivers! This moment is burned in my mind's eye until the day I die. I will see more of these! I feel as if the entire valley gasped at the beauty at fulll totality. We thought we were secluded in the country but could hear hoots, hollers, and people weeping (seriously) for miles haha Had family in Chattanooga that insisted it was just as good south of Chatt (well outside the path of totality), tried explaining that it's like the lotto... unless you are 100% in and have the right numbers, you don't win!... They thought I was crazy when I told them the sun actually went dark and you could see stars oh well

    Well, nevermind there goes the mystery "Then, late Friday evening, the USGS released an update, saying the University of Memphis determined that a quarry blast caused the magnitude 1.9 earthquake." http://www.wvlt.tv/content/news/Maryville-police-Whole-building-shook-following-mysterious-booms--490006281.html

    Anybody hear or feel the loud booms around Maryville the last few days? I work for a geotechnical and geological consultant... we are thinking cave dome collapses or sinkholes soil-air dome collapses. Dry early summer lead to shrinkage cracks in soils which opened relic features in the residuum from the weathered parent bedrock, decent rainfall recently may have found thee easy access channnels to bedrock/soil interface? What do you guys think? Very interesting.

    I am pumped for college and NFL this year! Only one week until the NFL preseason... just a matter of time until cold crisp Saturdays singing rocky top! Having said that, I expect UT to do slightly better this year than last.... low bar haha I am just looking forward to not watching UT fall apart emotionally when we things dont work out perfectly.. hopefully Pruit can channel some Saban stoicism :)

    Flew back into Mghee Tyson last Thursday night right at sunset. Took this shot facing the plateau looking right over downtown Knoxville... does the universe prefer UT orange?? Good sign for football haha?

    Another very foggy East Tennessee morning, gotta love living in a temperate rainforest Check out Watts Bar this morning! Steam from cooling towers appears to have caught the early morning sun like a beacon . https://media.giphy.com/media/5QRqLyy5KnoMIBl58u/giphy.gif
