Friends and family in Paris said they got an initial round of freezing rain and then a transition to sleet. Enough ice to freeze mailboxes shut and enough sleet to completely cover the roads. Overall not too bad, especially compared to some of the modeling.

Just talked to my folks in Paris. Thunder and rain at 25 degrees, ice is building up. Some sleet now. It's getting nasty.

That GFS looks DGEX level crazy. I'm gonna be over here eating popcorn watching all this unfold. Stay warm west and middle friends and don't break a hip!

This thing right here is a very good investment, I highly recommend it. Currently $121 on Amazon.
You've got AC and DC outlets, USB port, a light, a blower upper, and can jump start your car. The last power outage we had, I plugged two AC floor lamps into it for a half hour and it still read 100% charge. I'd imagine you could keep your family's phones charged for over a week if need be.
Edit: I will add, that if you buy one of these, keep it charged up. If you use it and it gets drained and stays that way, it will ruin the battery.

I'll gladly take my cold shower while y'all go ice skating.

It is absolutely beautiful here today. Sunny and 64 degrees! Already been on two walks, may have to go on another.

This is not all snow of course, but it's amazing to see how relatively little frozen gets past the plateau.

18z gfs takes the ice on the 14th to ohio but has a storm with snow in east tn 16th into 17th like cmc and euro. 210 snow forecast below.
A great low track for us and for once no marginal temps to deal with. Sign me up.

MRX getting cute with the Canadian joke.
Quote000 FXUS64 KMRX 082030 AFDMRX AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Morristown TN 330 PM EST Mon Feb 8 2021 .SHORT TERM...(Tonight and Tuesday)...Sluggish return flow trying to get started ahead of inverted trough to our northwest. Low clouds are expected to spread across the area late tonight in return flow aloft--little bits of QPF are shown in some model output late tonight in the deeper moisture, but this low level moisture is not connected to anything aloft to get any ice crystal growth, etc., so will keep QPF zero through Tuesday, along with mainly single digit POPs in the grids. Could see some patchy drizzle in a few places, but not much else. Guidance temps look good with notably milder night tonight, and warmer Tuesday. GM .LONG TERM...(Tuesday Night through Monday)... Frontal boundary will focus precip Tuesday night and Wednesday mostly to our north over KY before it finally surges south Wed night, bringing precip in from the northwest such that the entire forecast area should receive precip...mostly rain...on Thursday. As post-frontal cold air continues to invade the area, the precip will be trying to exit, but the back side of the precip area will probably experience a transition to snow before ending by Friday. Precip chances (mostly 30-40%) return Friday night and Saturday according to the NBM, and the ECMWF has suggested the same, although the 12Z GFS is notably more skimpy. However, beyond Saturday, the models are struggling to resolve the energy in this progressive pattern. For it is then that the GFS really rushes a strong weather system in from the southwest for Saturday night and Sunday morning with lots of precip falling upon our cold airmass, which is a potentially messy solution indeed. The NBM and ECMWF (and even the Canadians eh) are much more conservative with lingering and mostly insubstantial precip. We and surrounding offices are going with the NBM-led majority but will watch what happens to the GFS solution with interest.

The OHX and HTX radar feeds look ridiculous.

Ground is white now. I'm guessing we have between a quarter and a half inch. If we get past 0.6 then I'm above 4" for the year, which is on pace with average.

I'm proud that so many people are up at 3 in the morning watching the ground turn white!

Getting dimes now, just a beautiful snow at this point.
Edit: Dripping nickels now and the ground getting white. Worth staying up for!

Certainly low ratio stuff here, very wet flakes. Hasn't had a chance yet to pile up. 33/32

I'm really glad I stayed up for it. Finally transitioned to a full blown fat flaked snow. The real change over happened a little before 2am, MRX said it would start mixing in at 5am. Regardless, I'm grateful!

Slopping pretty good here, even getting a coating going. Beats the rain!

Still nothing but a cold rain in West Knox County.
Yeah, I've been back to rain after the mega sleet bursts. We'll get our real change over I think soonish.

I came across this interesting discussion on the geology and geography of the Cumberland Plateau, thought I'd share.
