January 15th-17th 2024 Arctic Blast/Snow Event
ShawnEastTN replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
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. -

ShawnEastTN replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
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. -

Just can't get over how much is still upstream. Hytop looks like a Christmas tree, all heading NE towards plateau and East Tennessee. -

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. -

Right I really wonder what was going on behind the scenes. -

ShawnEastTN replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
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. -

ShawnEastTN replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
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. -

Still coming down at a great clip, temp hasn't budged from 27 degrees, little over 4 inches now. -

My road which is a secondary state highway was brined yesterday, scraped and salted by TDOT at 730 this morning. -

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. -

ShawnEastTN replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
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. -

ShawnEastTN replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
Similar to me about 1.75" here on grass mostly. Though that blossoming band just reached me and right on queue it's picking back up after that pause during the night. I really think that is the reason models a few days ago had timing issues. Many models didn't start snow until this morning for East Tennessee, and interestingly this morning is when the primary heavier snow is set to begin and persist through the day. I look at the night time stuff as just bonus and the real deal is what we get today through tonight. -

Take a look at Hytop!!! Precip blossoming and really increasing in intensity upstream of East Tennessee. -

ShawnEastTN replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
I've had off and on again moderate rates. I'm already sitting at about a half inch. I really was only expecting the tiniest dusting until the morning when the heavier snow forms up the valley. At this rate I'll have 3 inches by daybreak.
