  1. There is an initial round of snow working its way through Hamilton County. The orientation is wrong for what I expect the main show to be. It honestly just resembles normal NW flow. I think as the ULL moves in this will re-orient into nearly a due N-S direction. Seeing some ground truth MPING reports in the city now. Nothing IMBY yet, but we should get some light precipitation shortly. 32 here.
  2. Adjacent FFC counties in North GA have gone for a forecast of 0.5-2" for just across the border. At these temps that presents a wide range of impacts. 0.5 probably doesn't wreck the roads. 2" absolutely will.
  3. Nah. They go by the NBM. We will be lucky to even get a WWA.
  4. I'm getting snow jam 2014 vibes. Very cold temps, very high ratio snow, there is the potential for very high impacts to roadways even with light amounts.
  5. We've got moderate snow up on Hwy 111 and the very top of Signal Mtn. Not much in the valley except icy crystals and the occasional perfect five point flake.
  6. I think the lower elevations down here are going to be fine. There really isn't as much accretion as I expected at 29 degrees. The mountains may be in worse shape though.
  7. After nearly reaching 30, my temperature is dropping again. Down to 28. That's very concerning.
  8. Moderate ZR in Apison. 29 degrees. Isn't freezing to the roads, but is to the elevated stuff.
  9. Shocked to still be at 27. Some of the models showed a bubble of colder air trapped around Chattanooga. Looks like that is proving true so far. Thankfully, there hasn't been much precipitation yet.
  10. Wow I'm at 26.6. That temp has just slowly dropped all morning as the column saturates.
  11. 28 here as well. Still hanging on to a few snowflakes, but I'm back to mostly sleet.
  12. Pretty concerned about the train of moisture that has set up along the southern border. It seems that was poorly modeled. It's fine as snow, but I don't think we will be able to maintain 850 temps capable of supporting snow for much longer.
  13. I don't think there will be much if any accretion at 32. If the lower elevations down here maintain 32, I think the problems are minor. I suspect area mountaintops will be a disaster zone. Could even extend to the higher ridge tops in the eastern and northern suburbs.
  14. You know, without the context of what has happened so far this week, this would be really exciting. Very nearly a 1993 redux.
  15. Oh I saw that. It just looks really off to me for some reason. Way different than WPC maps I'm used to. Like all the overlays are shaky.
  16. Is that an official product? Because it looks like I drew it in MS Paint.
  17. I'm getting pretty nervous about the CAD bubble over the Chattanooga metro. It's obvious on the Canadian, the GFS and the NAM. Completely absent on the Euro. The really difficult thing is forecasting actual temps. The CAD bubble may keep us at 31, but that's likely not cold enough to allow for accretion with heavy precip rates.
  18. This actually looks more like very strong CAD rounding the corner of the mountains in North GA and affecting the southern valley. It has happened before. I think in the early 2000's.
  19. I don't buy it, because I don't think we will have snowpack, but this would crush our all time record. Currently it is -10 (which has been tied three times).
  20. GFS and Canadian are a disastrous ice storm for southern areas. Time to start rooting for a 33 degree rain. Looks like a snowy solution is out for the southern valley.
  21. No snow at all for Chattanooga proper on that GFS run. Just ice.
  22. The snow melted fairly quickly in sunny spots after 1993. After 1996, it was frigid. That's the only subzero temperature at KCHA in my lifetime. There were piles of sleet in the mall parking lot until March.
