12:18 a.m. in Ooltewah currently sitting at 41° with light rain. Son in law lives on Signal Mtn. They have a mixed bag at 35°.

They should do well up there. We are always a crapshoot here but I guess I'll ride it out and see what transpires. We are off until the 10th so I'll have time to makeup my lost sleep.

Stovepipe, save me a drink!

It was taco night here, I'll save you some Corona Extras.  Enjoy that break buddy!

Hard to tell but it looks like it’s snowing on the Rockwood TDOT cam

The RadarScope precip depiction has evidently lagged obs a bit tonight, but it's showing the changeover occurring beyond the plateau roughly at a line from Soddy Daisy up to maybe Caryville.  I think it's happening.

The Huntsville radar looks epic right now.

Too bad we don't have obs from Shawn over south of Kingston to see when the change over punches past the plateau.

I'm closing in on 3" here in southern middle TN. Scattered power outages showing up as well!

That is fantastic, congrats!  

If RadarScope is accurate, John is ripping fatties right now.  

I appreciate all of the obs posts and analysis.  I'm currently in south knox about 2 miles from downtown.  Hanging around 40 degrees.  I reckon I'm gonna have to stay up for this one.  Seems too good to be true!

Latest RAP. You can see the lighter areas south of Frozenhead/Cross Mtn and South of High Knob that Daniel Boone mentioned. Even they are filling in as we go forward. Looks like the sleet area is about 1 County wide in western areas with heavy snow right behind that. 

 

I talked to my folks in Paris, it's coming down hard there.  The ground got white quick.

R.I.P. frogs.  Every one is probably strangled by now!  I also had 1.5 inches yesterday and as of 6:30pm today an additional 3.  Still pouring hard.  I'm expecting Knox County Schools to close tomorrow for flooding.  

Edit:  4 inches today as of 9pm.

Does it have WiFi capability?

Oh yeah, and great range too.  It transmits to the console and from there it uploads directly to the cloud.  It's sensor array seems to be the most common on Wunderground.  I added a lightning detector and will eventually add soil moisture sensors.

Which one did you get? My Davis crapped the bad last year and I need a new one.

I went with the Ambient Weather WS-2000.

The weather station has me at 0.93 inches of rain today.  One of it's first real workouts.  We'll see what Sunday brings.

Half tunnel for the garden is about to go up!  @Stovepipe, when are you starting your tomato seeds?

Nice!  It's a downscaling year for me.  I've got a bunch of other things going on so I'm just going to buy a few plants.

In normal starving times I'd be glued to this storm, almost all the 12z suites had it in some form or fashion, some more a bit north.  I believe we must be collectively burned out ha

I'm burned out from seeing clown maps, then checking the meteograms and seeing a bottoming out of 34-35 degrees and knowing that will be a fat flaked dusting at best for here.  I've really become conditioned to hate the word "marginal".  Just the sound of it makes me nauseous.  Marginal.  Blah

Lmao. 911 scanner just got a report of a car doing donuts on the highway and it's now stuck. I love hillbillies in the snow. Like as not some good old boy will have them pulled out before the police get there.

Made it back to Farragut.  It was mostly rain all along 75/40 but had some snow mix in and it was 34 degrees.  I hit Pelissippi and it changed to 70/30 sn/rn mix at 33.  Once I passed Costco it dropped to 32 and became all snow.  At the house there’s slush on everywhere but the roads/sidewalks/etc.  just as I walked in it changed to freezing rain but looks like it’s back to snow now.

I appreciate the obs western neighbor!  

Back to sloppy flakes.  Turning out pretty much how I expected for here.  33.4 with dew of 31.

Switched over to rain here.  That might be all she wrote.

Around an inch up here in Morgan County and rippin'.

Is this ptype remotely correct in the valley?

I don't know about Farragut, but at Pellissippi and Northshore it's frozen falling.

Now I've got some moderate sleet going, with some flakes mixed in.  Already have a sloppy dusting on surfaces.  Temp 34.7 Dew 30.

That's some weenie of the year material right there!

Agreed, that one will go down in the forum history books.  Jim Cantore level s***

I walked onto i40 for this pic lol. It's actually a fairly powdery dry snow compared to last Sundays 

Dude walked into the middle of interstate 40, that's dedication!  You are a true asset to this community, thank you for your service!
