    Yes! I live about 70 miles north of Chatt but that's what we got too a crazy ton of sleet with just a little snow on it at the end. Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk

    I think if my memory is correct down this neck of the woods I remember 96 not for being a blizzard, but I think down in my area it was freezing rain that switched to long duration sleet then eventually to snow. Think we may have only gotten a few inches of snow but it was over ice and packed sleet. Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk

    Getting Graupel & sleet pellets mostly graupel at my house currently. The Mping is my location. Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk

    Yeah was sitting outside taking the dog out and started hearing the sound graupel pellets make hitting the leaves of the woods beside my house. Caught a couple pellets on my sleeve to verify. It's 39 so very warm but kind of didn't think it would overcome the dry air. Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk

    Also critical to our region usually is having the regions north and northwest with some good snowpack. That hasn't really happened yet but looks like over the next few weeks might finally begin to start building. I have family in the UP of Michigan and they at Christmas had zero snow on the ground which is very very rare for them. Usually by end of December the Superior snowbelt region has a couple feet of snow on the ground already. For Detroit area in lower Michigan it's the second least snowy December ever recorded and among the warmest. As I sit and type this it is snowing now suddenly at my house, looks like virga is trying to overcome the dry air. Not really snow but graupel. Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk

    Same here only got about an inch maybe slightly more than and the roads were a disaster, still are on back roads even now. The March storm we got 6" and roads were just wet. This storm is the second time I'm my memory MRX downplayed a dying clipper and busts big time. Sent from my SM-F721U using Tapatalk

    The death rattle of this little clipper has been impressive. Just shy of an inch here. Sent from my SM-F721U using Tapatalk

    Returns back in eastern AR look impressive, not sure they make all the way to us, if they do would imagine it would be much later tonight like between 7 and 8. Sent from my SM-F721U using Tapatalk

    MRX updated their snowfall totals for most of the valley from less than an inch for up to an inch. Sent from my SM-F721U using Tapatalk

    Huntsville NWS just upgraded their SPS to a WWA for North Alabama and Southern Middle TN. Sent from my SM-F721U using Tapatalk

    Ground already starting to whiten up here. Not used to snow falling on frozen ground. Don't get that very often in my neck of the woods. Sent from my SM-F721U using Tapatalk

    Well now it has picked up to light snow with visibility lowering slightly in the distance. Sent from my SM-F721U using Tapatalk
  14. ShawnEastTN
    I was under that bright band for about 15 minutes before they began reaching the ground. Might have similar delay as it eventually overcomes the dry layer. Also picking up a bit now. Not quite light snow but more than just random flurries. Close to being light snow though. Very small dry flakes currently. Sent from my SM-F721U using Tapatalk

    The one more northerly in the image is me, can confirm flurries are falling. Aggravated that Hytop is offline because for snow it's a better radar for me than Morristown. Sent from my SM-F721U using Tapatalk

    Seeing my first flurries in the great valley. Sign the atmosphere is becoming a bit more moist. Funny it's close to MRX forecast start time of 2PM. Sent from my SM-F721U using Tapatalk

    Clouds moving in during the morning should help keep temps likely at best in the upper 20s as the warmest, and frozen ground every flake that falls sticks, my biggest concern is overcoming dry air, and how much virga do we deal with before reaching the ground.

    Maybe the moisture is catching up to better lift right at the valley before it fizzles out, or maybe it's hitting the mountains and there is a slight amount of backing in the flow. Backing in the flow, up against the mountains sometimes contributes to surprise totals in the valley. Sent from my SM-F721U using Tapatalk

    Tomorrow's clipper might be fun. I remember back several years ago a similar scenario with dying clipper expected to only bring flurries. While at work in North Knox at the time I remember coming out of the door not expecting anything and finding 2" of snow. While not a lot of snow it was one of the most impressive busts because MRX had only called for just flurries but also specifically said not enough moisture to accumulate at all. Maybe we'll get lucky. Weak dying systems are very capable of creating surprises. Sent from my SM-F721U using Tapatalk

    Alabama Met James Spann posted on FB yesterday the area down wind had gotten about an inch of snow, but it was still snowing at that point from that lake effect band. Sent from my SM-F721U using Tapatalk

    Wonder if that means they resolved the generation issue they had or if they are supplimenting with energy bought outside TVA region. Wish they'd tell us what power generation plant/station went offline and what happened. Sent from my SM-F721U using Tapatalk

    Yep that was cold for me too but not as cold as up your way. I'm on the unofficial border of the Southern and Central valley terminology that MRX uses. I can walk into the Central Valley but my house is technically in the Southern Valley. I live right near the county lines of Meigs and Roane. Definitely up the valley your direction tends to be colder than down this way. Think Chatty even which is about 75 miles south of me is mostly in the single digits today too.

    I've lived in the valley of east Tennessee since 1989, I cannot recall a daytime temp peaking at 8 degrees. My weather station has been fluctuating between 6 and 8 degrees all day. The coldest day time temp I can recall since we moved here when I was 10 years old is in the low to mid teens for daytime hours. My forecast high from MRX yesterday was a high of 16, not going to hit that. I suspect tonight may go negative air temp. All that said my official high for the day is 45, just after midnight.

    Winds starting to roar here and switching to WNW. Temp is beginning to drop have fallen a couple degrees in the last 15 minutes as the wind switch direction. Sent from my SM-F721U using Tapatalk

    Same here poured off and on a good bit over the last hour here. Gonna be a lot of frozen puddles and icy patches on the roads. Sent from my SM-F721U using Tapatalk
