    Historically, MRX considers Hamilton county to mean Chattanooga. They won't issue advisories or warnings if the event only affects Lookout and Signal mountains for example. I don't see them doing anything differently this time.

    It'll be interesting to watch the Friday storm unfold for that area.

    Toots Weather Forum was a good one for east TN snow homerism.  Toot could hug a snowy model till the end.  Toot was apparently a little abrasive in various weather communities and died tragically young.  

    We should make a banter thread about historical weather forums.  There's a lot that could be said lol.  RIP Toot.

    Many many years ago so much it makes me feel really old, before I knew AmericanWX had forums those old DGEX outputs would set the old SouthEast forum on AccuWeather on fire! I swear sometimes it was a combination zoo & MMA sprinkled with a little weather.

    Ha, those were my first weather forums, we probably interacted at some point!  I met John there around 2008-2009 I think.

    Someone got the DGEX for old time sake? I really miss it so much. I guarantee it would show the storm of the century right about now.

    Not the DGEX but I've been fiddling with Earl Barker's page today trying to render some of his classic graphics.  Sadly no luck on my end yet.  If anybody can conjure an Earl NAMing please post it.

    I thought the same, but I’m glad to see them put it out ahead of time to give people plenty of advanced notice.  

    It's the responsible thing to do.  Gives a nice spread of 3 to 8, acknowledging uncertainty but bracing for the worst.  Waiting until the last minute in order to be the most correct defeats the purpose of the statement.
