Dusting is official here now. I’ve finally dropped to 32 degrees for the first time in this event. There is a wreck on I-75 NB at white oak mountain. It is blocking our plows from getting to the gap at the county line. As a result the interstate is quickly becoming snow covered in that area.
-
I guess patience pays off. Moderate snow now, no rain. What a crazy storm. Our mountain roads are getting bad on Signal and Mowbray.
-
Maybe 50/50 RA/SN right now.
-
I’m only about 4-5 miles from Ooltewah and getting 100% rain right now.
-
Looks like I had around 0.70” fall as snow and fail to accumulate. I would not have thought that possible. I’m definitely hugging the NBM model from now on. It destroyed the globals for this event. Area mountains have 2-4”. More disappointment for the valley.
-
Just drive up the mountain. Still ripping on Signal right now.
-
I’m on signal now. Primary roads are fine. Just slushy. I saw several cars stranded on secondaries. The snow didn’t start until I got to the very top of the mountain. It’s almost like warm air has been dammed up against the edge of the plateau. It’s much colder along I-75 eastward regardless of elevation.

Starting to stick in the grass in East Brainerd.
-
Really dumping up here on 111 now. If this stays snow all afternoon this area is going to get plastered.
-
I drove up 111 to the sequatchie line. Snow/sleet mix up here. Starting to whiten the ground and slush the road a bit. 2000’ is the cutoff. All rain below that right now.
-
Temperature is finally starting to drop here. Down to 37.
-
Sleet reported on MPING in Dalton. Looks like something wintry will be falling here soon. Probably going to be a rain/sleet mix.
-
CC line is still racing this direction. It’s reached the AL/GA line. Sounds like Huntsville has changed over. That’s always been one of my canaries in the coal mine. We can definitely still miss out when they get hit (it’s already happened this year), but it’s a decent indication of things to come.
-
39 here still. Not confident about anything.
-
I think that poster is referring to Feb 2014, not the January 2014 traffic Armageddon. February 2014 wasn’t too different from this. The I-59 and I-75 corridors got rocked. Even had some thundersnow.
-
Can report all liquid rain in East Brainerd. I’m pretty low in elevation though. Only around 800 ft. It is 40 here, but the trend line on my PWS is down, so it’s dropping.
-
The models aren’t sure about it either. I understand how it happens. The strong downsloping results in an area of low pressure forming up against the foothills. If the storm gets stronger it will run up that area. If it stays weak enough, it will transfer across GA to the SC lowcountry. We want the latter to occur.
-
HRRR continues to pound the lower plateau counties. Lighter in the southern valley. It still really stiffs the Central Valley around TYS for some reason.
-
It is. I suspect their argument is that the actual blizzard conditions will be so isolated that it doesn’t make sense to issue the product. Same logic they use down here to leave Signal and Lookout Mountains without any winter weather products.
-
This actually legit worries me for the mountains around here. It will have similar impacts to an ice storm. A severe one.
-
I sense some foreshadowing here. . .
-
That might get me to watch the weather channel again.
-
NBM must rely heavily on the HRRR. The 21Z ends up looking almost exactly like MRX’s call map. No bueno for the valley.
-
I’m just completely shocked that there are no advisories out at all for the 20,000 people that live at elevation in Hamilton county. Makes no sense to me at all.
-
Slides on the homepage updated. Chattanooga went from >0.5 to 0.5”. I’ll get my shovel ready.
