My temp hasn't changed at all still 28, but had some heavy goose feathers stepped back outside to find it was goose feathers with some sleet mixed in. Wild!
Biggest flakes and I think the heaviest rate I've had so far. Visibility is greatly reduced. Just unbelievable. Think I'm starting to get under those returns coming out of Huntsville.
I was just thinking I cannot recall a storm IMBY that has snowed continuously for more than the Blizzard of 93 where I live. Where I live it snowed during the blizzard for about 16 hours. It started snowing here at 8PM roughly last night and if still snowing at 4 PM this will pass the longest duration snowfall for where I live.
My flake size has increased too, was a little worried that meant I was getting close to the rain/snow line, but my temp is still frozen at 28/29 all day. Wonder if the SPC update is starting to take effect?
You are right you sure did, but you included my house in that special strip, so all good by me. Seriously though you called it before it even started snowing.
Weather Channel has someone broadcasting from Broadway and I was stunned it snowing as hard as it was. Nashville going to come out really well I think.
Really sucks that you aren't getting it. Maybe you'll still score if the cold can make it to that side of the valley before all is said and done. Still hours of upstream precip. If that Storm prediction center mesoscale update holds true maybe forcing might help in your area to bring down temps.
Looks safe to say WVLTs 2-3" accumulation for me and Knoxville is a complete bust, especially since most in that 2-3" forecast still have about 10 to 12 hours of snowfall to go. Really surprised they downplayed this event so much when they surely saw guidance.
One of the things I'm really impressed by this morning is how fast these tiny flakes are piling up. With the flakes so small it's deceiving when looking outside. It looks a lot lighter a snow than it really is.
Closing in on 3" Northern Meigs on the Roane line. View into the woods behind my house. Flakes are small mostly but coming down at a good clip, my phone camera isn't good at picking them up though
Ok heaviest snow so far IMBY. Much heavier than last night. If I can keep these rates I can believe an additional 6" or 7" on top of my 2" from last night/early morning.
Yeah I suspect as the day goes along pavements will start to get covered. The ground temp is radiating through pavement keeping just a bit warmer, but suspect as time goes on and heavier snow moves in and temps stay below freezing those surfaces will start to freeze.
Interesting I'm under the lighter stuff on your image on the northern edge of your image like heading toward Knoxville and it's snowing as hard as it did during the night last night and seems to be slowly picking up. I'll be at 2" probably within the hour. 1.75" of that occurred during the night. I wonder what your temp and dewpoint are where you are located.
